Hello Crocheters and knitters

Hello. I am an avid crocheter that recently learned to knit. I enjoy "hooking". I am always trying to learn new techniques or stitches. I was taught how to knit on three needles and was so enthused, that within two weeks I made my first pair of socks. I am now expert at either craft/skill. I am just a traditional craft sort of woman, wife, mother and grand mother. I have always had a crochet needle and yarn with me, ready for any project. Have hook will travel, I should have named this blog that. I can do videos and will add some later.

           When ever I want to learn a new stitch or technique, I find it and learn it!

I have made hundreds of beanie hats, blankets, baby items, children's cowboy clothes, dresses, gloves, mitts, gauntlets, hats, hacky-sacks, bean bags, leg warmers, and.......

I make a lot of my own patterns for umbrellas, personal dress or desire of style for myself.

I enjoy a large variety of yarns. I use any size of crochet hook and threads/yarns. I learned to tat-not well, but am working on that. I also taught myself to "net". Fishing net repairs~no problem now.

I  enjoy what I refer to as "home crafts" or "heritage skills". Knitting, Crochet, Netting, Tatting, sewing, gardening, and making soaps, body butters, home made butter, natural-remedies-diet, and I farm rabbits, chickens and ducks and not just for the eggs... I utilize the hides as well.

A Naturalist at heart, I am.

 I am on youtube, twitter (Boletasaurus), facebook, pinterest,  google circles, and I have other blogs.

I am an Author of a Mushroom Harvesting book; A Visual Guide For Harvesting Mushrooms,by Author House. I am a photographer at heart and took all the pictures in my book. I enjoy a very large variety of activities, camping, hunting, crafts, gardening, sewing, knitting, crochet, photography, farming my lawn into a garden area and raising my own animals for manure, eggs, hides and meat, not your everyday~girl next door. I have been married for 29 years, am a mother of five (5), adult kids (3 boys & 2 girls), and a grand mother, so out came the crochet hats! I have grand daughters!

Drop me a line or a question. I enjoy speaking with other crafter's and am always ready to listen to good advise on a how to project. I have many patterns in my collection of craft things, you never know, I might have what you are looking for.
