I’m a knitter who loves to crochet, and machine embroider. I am married to a wonderful and patient man, we have two wonderful grown sons, a beautiful daughter in law and two young granddaughters. My ETSY Shop: etsy.com/shop/trimitup (currently closed) I first started my blog after moving to the San Diego area from Sacramento, where we lived for twenty years. I had to leave my part time job and my life as I knew it, to doing nothing, while my husband started his brand new job. That is when I started this knitting, etc. blog in 2011, and then later got my real estate license.

Hi. I’m a new blogger here too. Didn’t know this knitting crochet week thing was happening, but how nice for so many to be sharing in it. I’m also a big time lover of chocolate!!! 🙂

I appreciate your crochet directions, so easy to read and understand! In crochet directions, less is NOT more.
I love the look of back-loop crochet, the texture and spring in the finished fabric. I started a scarf project this summer, making scarves for everyone in my family. I can’t stop! Now, everyone gets two. Some of them are scrumbled, rather off-beat, as Prudence Mapstone is one of my favorite crochet mentors.
Good luck with your blog. I blog, too, and really enjoy it.
