Happy Birthday MOM!!!

Many of you learned to crochet or knit from someone special. For me, It was my Mom. We shared more hours of laughter then I can count. From the "Ripping" because 1 st. was not right, to the completion of so many projects! She's gone off to the Big Yarn Studio with hook in hand and I know she would be proud of the projects I have completed and the things I have learned. So I have deciated this first Published Pattern in her honor "Annie's Market Bag" !

So here is a Question??? Who Introduced you to Crocheting or knitting?
