I have 2 kids, a 5 year old little girl...my little mini me, and an almost 2 year old boy...my husband's little clone. The husband is a soldier and I can't wait for the day I can call him a veteran! <br /> My mom started teaching me how to crochet when I was 4 or 5, so at 24 years old I have right about 20 years of experience crocheting! I believe it is an art, and not just about the scratchy <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">sweaters</span> your grandma made you for Christmas. Almost every item I have ever made has been a custom item, but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">occasionally</span> I have ready to ship items. I make everything from jewelry, to baby blankets, stuffed animals, basically anything I think I can make out of yarn or wire and a crochet hook. Feel free to request items, I am down for anything and love a good challenge.<br /> <br /> You can find items from Kat's Crochet here:<br /> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/katscrochetcreations">www.facebook.com/katscrochetcreations</a>Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13698028201094223236noreply@blogger.com0
