Hello everyone, I hope that you all are doing well. I found your site and decided to give it a "go" as I want to create graph patterns and have fun while doing it.

So far, I am having a blast with doing that and continue to learn new tricks and techniques of creating them. I do crochet projects of all types including afghans and I do all forms of stitches as well. I have been crocheting since I was a young child and it helps relax me and I enjoy creating things with my hands and with yarn. I am a crochet and yarn addict. I have taught myself how to do tunisian crochet and how to do graphghans and etc. I also enjoy challenging patterns too. I consider myself an intermediate/advanced crocheter. I have also been teaching myself how to knit as well.

Take care

CrochetOasis,

Welcome, and thank you for your kind words!

So glad you're enjoying our site!

Your beautiful username is a place I want to visit...no, I want to live there!

I think it's so much fun to learn new techniques. What is your favorite thing you've found so far? The best thing about crochet (also knitting) is there are endless things to learn.

As for knitting, that's a good way to learn, imo, by knowing how to crochet first. I had tried both around the same time, but learning the basics of holding the yarn by deciding to master crochet first really helped when I tried knitting again.

Please feel free to post pictures of any crochet or other crafty work you've done, so we can all drool!
