I haven't crocheted in a long time. My mother taught me how when I was about 9. I crocheted a lot of things in highschool. a purse, a rug, afghans, a vest etc. I amke a few baby afghans. The thing I like about crocheting is that you can actually sculpt with it and make different forms by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches added to a row.
Have fun!
