Crafts and Scraps: The Joy of Crocheting

The Joy of Crocheting

My interest in crochet as a hobby is turning into an obsession. This was triggered when I tried to search the Internet for some crochet patterns. I was just curious then. But when I found out a lot of free patterns and a lot of bloggers, with so many pix of what they had done, I figured out blogging could be this interesting!
So, here I go. Perhaps I may not be able to share my own patterns or designs (I also found out that the basic stitches are not copyrighted, and one can just use these basic stitches to create a thousand designs just like a musician who can use any combination of the eight notes to make a hundred melodies!) but I sure could post some of my works here.
I had done a lot of projects eversince I was in college when I would ransack the dorm lib for books on crochet. Indeed I found at least ten of them and I pored over these books in between study periods.
Most of my earlier works (done when I was in college and when I was teaching) are already wornout. Perhaps what I would be posting are designs I have made a couple of years back and some ongoing projects.
Crocheting is a great way of unwinding especially after a busy day!
