Je veux :crochet:

I don't know how to. But I love it. I love seeing it. I fantasize about touching it. Cudling with my loved ones in it. Warm colors. Vibrant colors. Pastel colors. All the women I knew who could crochet thought it was not necessary for me to learn, that it was not worthy a task. Silly thinking.

(From Posy and Attic 24)

Think of it that way: What will you do if you get old and your vision fails you? Crochet, of course! (Plus the classics in audio books, classic music~start to finish and the Bible in mp3 or 4 or 8!)
Never mind. You know and I love seeing your work! Keep it up and enjoy!

Who wants to win this bag?

I do! But because I am a nice person, I am letting you know, too!

(It's such a cute and romantic bag, and it will look great in the bathroom, or the girls' room, or to carry the tools of the trade. Hoganfe has been in my favorites for quite some time now).
