I am a housewife who learned to crochet when my baby sister pester me into it (2005). I probably wouldn't have continued with the hobby except I received a phone call from two aunts who heard I could now crochet and invited me up for a little stitch n'bitch session. I pulled out the hook my sister had gotten for me and I've been "hooked" ever since. :-)

Mystery Stole 3
I continue to make progress on my Mystery Stole. I am trying to go very slow and carefully because having to pull out rows would be a complete nightmare. I decided to stick with the Needle size 4 although I do think I could have gone down a size and still been very happy with the result. I looked around the internet to see what other Mystery Stoles are looking like. That's when I decided that I wanted to have a dark brown stole, unfortunately I ended up with a purple-red stole. I also realized that liked the stoles that were worked on slightly smaller needles. I don't like the lacy effect if it goes on throughout the stockinette stitch. I believe my stole will have a slightly lacy effect going on but I will learn to love it.
