I am new to crochet. I taught myself in November of 2008 because I wanted to be able to create something. Well, I fell in love with crochet and wish I had more time to devote to it. Right now I work full time as a nurse and am in graduate school studying to be a nurse practitioner. I am also raising 3 boys and have all the activities that go along with them. When I am finished with school I plan to crochet whenever I have free time.
