Lynnie, that shelter lady must've kept that raffle a secret! So unfair!
I crochet & knit. In fact, my very first afghans 'way back when were crocheted ripple afghans; I was 19-20 at the time. None of those exist any more, but the reversible afghan I made my mother around the same time now belongs to my oldest daughter, who is currently making her first crocheted afghan in the ripple stitch! I mostly knit these days.
I think of myself as a quilter who knits, though. I like to make smaller, knitted items, like socks, mittens, hats. It's been a long time since I made an afghan or a sweater!
