Like I said on my home page crochet is the process of creating a fabric from yarn, thread or other strands of material using a crochet hook and consists of pulling loops through other loops one or more times.

The word “crochet” comes from the French “croche,” meaning, “hook,” but the actual origins of crochet appear to be shrouded in mystery. If your interested in learning more about it’s origins and history I recommend visiting the following websites to learn more.
