I crochet. I learned how to do it in high school, as an elective and I love that it opened my world up to something I can do to relax. I learned how to knit, crochet, quilt, cross stitch and embroider during this class, but only crocheting stuck.

I am expecting my first child, and I find myself spending more time sitting in my room, with the air conditioning at full blast. I am known for crocheting baby layouts for everyone I know who is having a baby. Yet, now that I am expecting my own, I have no urge to make my baby a layette set! I bought the yarn, I have new patterns, but it’s just sitting there staring at me.
