My first entry into the needlework world was embroidery which I still enjoy doing. My second entry was crocheting and I LOVE it even after 40 years! I knit also, but not as well as I crochet. I am never without a tote bag with crochet/knit projects. At the doctor's the dentist, getting a haircut, waiting outside school for my grandson, etc. etc. When I go someplace with DH I crochet/knit while he drives. A row here, a row there and a baby hat is done! When I'm not quilting, these other crafts keep me busy. I make a lot of baby hats & booties for a nearby hospital in need and many of my patterns come from bevscountrycottage.com. She has an incredible amount of patterns (both knit & crochet) Give it a look. Nice to meet another happy hooker! No offense - it's a person who crochets! Not many of us around these days.
