Free crochet patterns

I love finding free crochet patterns! I am fairly new to crocheting, since I have only been doing it for a few years and still have a lot to learn. I love trying new stitches and pieces to see what I like making. Most of my items are donated to various organizations that need them. I have sold some, and I take orders. But most of all, I find it relaxing and enjoyable.

I just entered to win 2 skeins of @LionBrandYarn Silky Twists Yarn from @AFCAP!

Big Day

Yesterday was a BIG day for me. I received my official letter for admittance into The Ohio State University! I'm excited and nervous. It's a big campus with LOTS of students who are mostly young enough to be my child and almost grandchild age - yikes! I filled out another scholarship application and had to write my upcoming age, which is 50! How did that happen? I don't feel or look that age, so why is it the clock reflects it? I want to keep my years of experience and knowledge, but would like to turn the clock back to a different age, only if I could change things, of course!

Now I sit and wait to see what the package is the school will send me, hoping for scholarships to cover as much as possible. For now, I will relish in the fact that I am a full-time college student who has been accepted into one of the top five schools for my program - very exciting!e
