Last year, our lovely and talented local Knoxville Tatting Queen, Erin Holloway drove all the way out from Knoxville to our little Smoky Mountain hideaway to teach me some basic crochet. I knew how to do a chain stitch and make some crocheted flowers, but that was the entirety of my skill set. I find crochet patterns painful to read, is it just me? I know, it's shorthand, but when you're just starting out, shorthand looks like Greek.
