Introduction

Hello, anyone who might have stumbled upon my new blog.

I decided I would like to write about what I make.  I couldn't think of a title because I knit AND crochet--I don't just do one.

Then I went to my English teacher life and decided to go with a pun--"yarns."  Since I live across the street from the Atlantic Ocean, I had to include that, so I settled on "Yarns by the Sea."

As soon as I finish all my Christmas projects, I'll post what I've made lately.

I had foot surgery on November 13th and have been home from work, unable to walk, since then, so I have had a lot of time to knit and crochet.  I've had to rely on Amazon and other sites to get my yarn, which is not what I prefer because, like most people who knit and crochet, I like to feel the yarn first.

Ordering from the Internet has worked out, though, except for when I accidentally ordered yarn that is 53% wool.  It's awesome yarn, but I'm allergic to wool, so I was a bit ill during that project.

Back to knitting for me, and then soon I will add some projects that might give others some good ideas.
