I'm excited to have you as well. You crochet like me and I love the crochet flowers you did.
I usually crochet something everyday.
Hi owlvamp, it can take anything upto just over 2 weeks but sometimes it is quicker. I used to crochet a long time ago but haven't done anything for years but have started back now. I am so grateful that both my mother and my grandmother taught me knitting, crochet and sewing. In the national (age 5 to 12) schools they don't teach any of these skills anymore and even in secondary (age 13 to 18) you have to do Home Economics to do any kind of sewing and they barely learn to sew on a button. All the crafts are dying out here and it is only with the sewing shows that the UK have like the Great British Sewing Bee that sewing is starting to have a revival here.
