OMG a fantasy writer/lover who crochets - I didnโ€™t know there was another one!

Well, I knit, but almost same difference. Iโ€™ve been meaning to learn to crochet.

I knit also. I don't know how you knit your figures. I find crocheting them easier.

I am limited in what I can knit with the needles. Itโ€™s why Iโ€™d like to learn to crochet. Life just gets too busy and I havenโ€™t been able to commit.

Thatโ€™s so true. I was lucky, my grandmother taught me to crochet when we visited one holiday, and my mum taught me to knit when I was little. I actually prefer knitting, but Iโ€™m getting arthritis in my thumb joints and canโ€™t hold the needles for too long (and like you donโ€™t have the time to teach myself to knit another way). I do love your figures though, theyโ€™re so cute?

I learned knitting when I was about 7 from a lady who ran a little museum next to the local library where I grew up. I actually have issues too with holding the needles. My fingers will go numb if I don't give myself a break. I've been trying to be mindful of how long I knit so I'm not forced to quit sooner than later.

Thank you. I have a lot of fun making them.

I managed to avoid COVID until December of last year. It didn't cost us much, because once we tested positive we just stayed at home and suffered. I wouldn't recommend it.

I didnโ€™t have fun with my bout. At least for hubby it was more like a cold.

Good for him! For us COVID was like a cold the way getting hit by a semi is like having a toy car run over your foot.

Thanks. And I didnโ€™t even get into some family stuff thatโ€™s going on, too. Itโ€™s been a rough few months.
