Wonder Stitches

I have been crocheting for most of my life. Like most I started making chain stitch bracelets and have since graduated to many other things. I love to make different things but lately I have been making amigurumi animals and finding it so much fun. Each one is small and less than 50 rows of stitches but it is fun to watch as a blob of stitches turns into an elephant or a crocodile with just a few more stitches. I am enjoying sharing photos of my creations with my friends and family through my ETSY and PLAXO site. My children enjoy them as well but there is one person that I wish each day that I could share them with. That is my Mom. She is the one who patiently taught me those first chain stitches. She was also an avid crocheter and famous for her beautiful baby blankets. These small things make me miss her so much. I will continue to stitch for my own sanity and as a way to honor my mom and the things that she taught me.
