Married 36 years. Hubby’s name is Mike. I’m Jeannie. I’m 56, born on on December 5, 1952. We live in Fort Worth, Texas. I’ve been crocheting since I got married in 1973. My mother-in-law taught me and we keep telling her, “Look what you started!” lol! We have 3 kids…Paul, Scott, Melissa…my own PMS. Note the first initials! And 4 grandkids, Cynthia, Meagan, Faith and Jayden. Besides my love for yarn, I adore the Beatles, especially Paul! I had a bad stroke on September 5, 1992 and my crocheting is very therapeutic. Most has returned, except for a speech problem and trouble with my balance, so I still use a walker.
Mike coined the phrase “yarn porn” and it stuck. I was admiring the beautiful yarn on Ebay one day and he quipped, “Looking at your yarn porn, huh??” We don’t use that term around our 4-year-old granddaughter, Cynthia, though. She repeats everything and we just know she’d tell her other Grandma how I look at porn all the time!!!
I have a set of Knifty Knitter looms and Cynthia is always calling them my “crowns”. Come to think of it, that’s what they look like. I have two dolls…a newborn size and a preemie size….that I use for models. Cynthia can’t figure out why Grandma still plays with dolls!
Hope you enjoy this blog and all my journeys with yarn!
