About Me

Hi, I'm Crystal.
I'm 35 yrs old, married for 15 years & mom to 5 boys, ages 4,6,9,10,13.

I Crochet, hand knit, machine knit, have 3 round knitting looms which are actually very versatile, and as of October 2002, I am spinning my own yarn, which I find extremely gratifying and relaxing.

My grandmother taught me the basics of crochet and hand knitting when I was about 10 yrs old. My interest level went up and down with my teenage years, but at around 20, I took on a renewed interest in fiber crafts, crochet being the main focus. At 22, when my first son was born, I made my first real attempt at knitting and made him a cardigan that was too big in the body and too small in the sleeves, but it's cute so I still have it as a memento of his birth. I have since learned a great deal, but have actually tried only a very few things when compared to the vast ocean of goodies that can be made.

Some things I've made are: Christmas ornaments, slippers, hats, toys, sweaters, bookmarks, tube socks (using a round knitting loom), scarves, afghans, dishcloths, shawls, a checker board and checkers
for my kids.

My favorite commercial yarns are the Lion Brand line, Regia sock yarn & Cascade Fixation. I plan to try out Opal Sock yarns and a few others I've heard about one of these days.

I hope you enjoy this site, and come back often to see new things.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

You may not be a granny, but you've got the
mentality. Hard work and artistic vision lead
to your beautiful knitted results.

Are you a knitter?
