Hi. I'm Christine and I'm Addicted to String

Thick, thin, yarn, thread, floss, hemp, cotton, wool, natural or synthetic.  If I can hook it, I'll try to make something out of it!

I learned to crochet at someone's knee so long ago, I'm not even sure whose knee it was! In truth, it was probably a combination of my mom and her aunts. After a long hiatus, I renewed my interest in the craft about 10 years ago. It's become an important part of my life. It's my way of keeping my sanity, finding happiness and exploring my creativity (which I denied existed for most of my life).

I also enjoy cross stitch. I don't do that as often as crochet, though. At the end of a long weekday - or the beginning of a lazy weekend - there's nothing more relaxing than sinking into the couch with a hook and yarn!
 

Here are a few sneak peeks at items I'm planning to bring to the dome for the trunk show:

I've got several of these bags, which have become something of an obsession.  They're made of cotton with an open stitch and make excellent grocery, market or beach bags.  

A simple shawl/wrap in a gorgeous teal color.

Hey, I'm a crocheter, so I gotta have some granny squares, right?!  Colorful cotton grannies make perfect coasters for home or office.

You can find my etsy shop here. You can also find me as xtinerat on Ravelry.

Hope to see you at the dome or online!
