Crafts & Hobbies: Knitting and Crocheting

Back when I was in college and when I first started working I did quite a bit of crocheting. I crocheted several afgans, both granny squares and a ripple effect. I also made a couple of shawls. A few years ago I tried a couple of hats for someone with cancer who had lost her hair. They were OK, but I was out of practice. Since then, I haven't done much. I have tried knitting in the past, but I have problems with it. My stitches aren't regular and I can never get the size right.

I kind of like some of the chemo hats and since Head Huggers has crocheted ones, that would be something I could do.

We don't have a knitting/crocheting group. To start a group, we would have to put out a call to see if anyone was interested. Those books go out some, but I think we have more quilters in our area.
