Welcome, Karen! I've been crocheting since the age of 6, although my mother now insists that I was FOUR. (she claims I crocheted and knitted for my gramma, who died when I was six, so 'maybe' she's right.... ) Anyway, I wanted to welcome you to the group! I knit more than I crochet, now. I also spin, tat and work bobbinlace (aka pillow-lace) I live in middle Tennessee, USA.... we're quite a diversified group, with men and women from all over our shared planet. Hugs, Noreen

Wow, age 4 huh! I'm impressed! Thanks for the warm welcome, and yes, I can see that this is quite a diversified group alright!

Four is debatable, my mother is now 79 and prone to selective memory, LOL! I say age six for sure, lol. I've been spinning about 4 years now, took up tatting about 9 years ago, and bobbinlace about 7 or 8. Here's a crochet query for you: do you hold your hook like a pencil or a knife? (as in butterknife) Noreen

Like a pencil. I'm from the old school. LOL
