Few facts about me: kinda nerdy, cuber, love to cook, love my dog, hope to be a computer programmer, wanna go to BYU, 8th grader, singer, artist, crochet a lot (made my sister's birthday present-a satchel), have broken a bone on my birthday, Thanksgiving, my friend's birthday, and almost broke something near Christmas. (It was just really bruised, though)

I've tried to crochet and I just don't understand it! Haha but I like to cross-stitch and sew :)

I love to cross-stitch too! I made this cool one that says "Love Ya To The Moon And Back" and it has a moon for the second "o" in Moon. What does your favorite look like?

That's really cool! Hmm my favorite one I've made was a sock monkey and it has an adorable little red hat.

OMG I love to crochet. My during the winter is to make blankets so you can be warm and have fun.
bookstory14 bookstory14

YES! I'm working on a blanket right now! Here's a fun pattern I learned that makes cool lines in it: When you go to put your hook through the front string and pull it through, instead hook it through the opposite back string! It's cool, and I really like it.
