Crafts & Hobbies #66: Knitting and Crocheting

I have always wanted to learn how to knit. I can do some (little) crochet. I used to make these little socks for babies all white ones for baptisms, red and green for Christmas, red, white and blue for 4th of July, etc. But now most of the people I know are sending their kids to homecoming and prom instead of having babies so I don't get the occassion to make the socks much any more.

1. The knitting and crocheting websites included in this iHCPL module were very good but one of my favorites is Lion Brand Yarn. If I had time to crochet for a purpose it would be to make blankets for nursing home patients.
2. Our branch has a sit and stitch group where you can bring any kind of knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross stitch, etc, that you like. It is run by a patron volunteer.
