My Crochet obsession

Crochet is my favorite pass time, and I have found some really good teachers and free patterns on line. Really you never ever half to purchase another pattern . Just do the search. For instance Lionbrand or Bernet, all free crochet, many many more, some crummy but many more are really good for beginners all the way up to skilled. I am thinking of joining Cast off crochet crew on You Tube, but am thinking I don't want to make a weekly commitment either. So we'll see about that.
Check out my latest project. compliments of wygodnejrobotki or you could just click the link when my video ends, dolls on crochet it's the bottom center one right in the video window.
