I have loved seeing how you've used the yarn - these are such comforting images as my own Grandma did such crocheting all her life. She passed the skill onto my Mom and my daughters, but it skipped me!
By the way, I'm the gal that bought the crewel-embroidered 70's bird book bag from your shop :-) I used it all fall, and really love it. He'll make a reappearance in the summer. (I'm still working on a name for him, the bird that is!)
Farrah, in some ways crocheting is much easier than knitting--but there's that darn skill you have to master of exactly where to end each row. And I think that crochet patterns, for some reason, are much harder to read than knitting patterns. Does that make it a tie? :)
just love those colors also. We had a large granny square afghan when I was growing up. My Grandma insisted that she made it, but she never did any crafts?!? The blanket was gorgeous. I wonder where it is today.
You've inspired me to knit from my sizeable stash this year. I have a bad habit of collecting....and a new house which means I can't afford new yarn for a couple years :) I just love watching what you come up with!!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

In your opinion, is knitting or crocheting easier?

Susan, I'm so glad that bird has a happy home!
