Welcome Bit to the thread I'm glad you knit and crochet yes I do like crocheting better then knitting for me. A hat would be nice and yes it is cold we have like 30 inches of snow here in NJ so its not very nice right now!! Dogs are having a tough time of it poor fellas but are adapting well..

YIKES, Gail! That's way too much snow for your area, isn't it?

We've had almost none this year so far and I am QUITE content for it to stay that way.

I discovered that all crochet threads are not created equal. My favorite by far is Cebelia; oh my gosh it feels so good when you use it, and it cooperates so beautifully! I've been trying to force myself to use other threads and I'm just not enjoying it nearly as much.

It is snowing here too...but we just have a dusting. Good luck getting through all the snow. Time to pull out the crochet and make something warm and cuddly. I actually just finished making two stuffed animals. Pokemon - a Pikachu and a Riachu. I'd post a picture if I knew how, LOL.
