Hi, I found this site through Crochetville. This is a great idea, a forum for learning new things in crochet!
I learned to crochet a long time ago, just after college. My college roommate taught me the basics, and I took it from there.
My favorite things to make are DOILIES! I have tested a lot of Kathy's designs (which is always a true pleasure), and I never seem to tire of working with thread.
