Hi all, I love making baby items.
I’m ot sure what to say except that I have been crocheting since I was 14. I really love making things for babies. I have been a contributor to newborns in need. I formed a crochet club at my church to contribute hats and blankets to other charities as well. Lately I have been making baby lovees to sell at my churches annual corn fest In August so we can raise money for those charities. I would like to hear from you if you have any feedback. Thank you.
Family
Hello, everyone! Some of you are new-comers at Ctaftorator, others - for a long time and that's very pleased to me. So, let's come a little bit closer to one another. Today I suggest to chat about our families. I live with my husband and 2 daughters and we're still choosing for one more member - pet. My family is very big - I have 2 brothers and a sister, who also have children. We like to gather on holidays and sometimes even travel with the whole our big company. Tell me about yours. Do you have ...
Indoor Plants
Hi, ladies! Are there any indoor plants lovers among us? Maybe you have not only indoor plants, but a garden? At first, my experience with these plants wasn't successful, as they usually die. But after some time, I understood "what to do with them". So now I have a lot of indoor plants and would like to buy some new.
Amigurumi

Help to Choose a Pet
Hi, ladies! I need your advice. My daughters persuaded me to buy a pet for them, but they haven't decided who do they want more - cat or dog. We have chosen several braids of both of them, maybe, some of you have the same pet. So, please, tell me, who is the most calm? I need my house not to be ruined! Ha-ha. Please, help!
Bears in Progress

Knit or Crochet
Hello, ladies! Do you often meet patterns, which can be visually quite similar, but one of them is knit, another one - crochet? Which of them do you usually choose? Sometimes you can fins such a neat pattern and you may think (of course, if you are not so advanced), that it's crochet, but the instructions are for knitting needles. Or vice versa, quite densed pattern, that you might say, that it's knit, but it's crochet. Has it happened to you, when you weren't such a professional?

Hello, ladies! Recently I showed you the first results in knitting of my younger daughter and you support her with your warm comments. We both are really thankful to you! So, I can't, but show you my elder daughter hobby. She started with making very simple bracelets from ordinary beads. But now she makes such beautiful accessories.

Stitch Patterns
Hello! As you know very well, there are a lot of different stitch patterns created either for needles or for crochet hook. Some of them are quite simple and basic, others - very complicated, but so amazing. Do you have a favorite stitch pattern? Have ever created your own one? Do you always follow the instructions or knit/crochet as it goes? It's very interesting for me.
