I've arrived!

How exciting to be here. To think just over eighteen months ago I first picked up a crochet hook and wow! did that learning curve go through the roof. It's all my sister's fault I'm here. She said she thought I'd  like crochet and little did she know the monster she would create. I am now obsessed with crochet. As I examine everything crochet I have found my appreciation has changed from "Oh that's pretty!" to "How did they make that?" It's everywhere from Bond girl hats to baby blankets.

I've learnt a lot in eighteen months. I've advanced from knowing three stitches to suddenly understanding the criptic language of codes and symbols. (What the hell does dc2tog mean?!)

But it's not all crochet. My mum introduced me to sewing shortly before crochet took over my world (yes, my learning curve in 2013 went through the roof). Suddenly I find myself in a crafters world and I like it here, I think I'll stay.

I'm pleased with my completed projects so far from my first simple blanket for my good friend Gretel

and the pyjamas I managed to sew for my kids Merida and Finn to the more advanced projects of this year (from slippers to wedding bedspreads and dinosaurs).

I look forward to taking you on a tour of some of my projects as they grow

It's good to be here,
Josie Yarn.
