The best time to start crocheting afghans


I started crocheting when I was 7 years old and haven’t stopped. I entered a world of creativity that has let my fingers do the talking. In designs that is. I have created doilies (the first thing I ever crocheted), afghans, sweaters, mittens, scarves, trivets, gloves, and just about anything else you can think of, I’ve made it.

It’s relaxing while creating something useful. crocheting afghans or any thing crocheted for that matter, are excellent gifts. It says you care enough to make them something. I like that part of creating something out of yarn.
A simply looking string that can be made into some so beautiful—it’s rather amazing at times. There are as many colors of yarn as there are kids. Yarn comes in every color of the rainbow and then some. There’s glittery yarn, shaggy, fuzzy, tight, gold stranded and silver.

Any and all kinds of yarn—you name it, it can be made into yarn. An excellent source of information is Crochet Afghan website. They have some wonderful ideas.
