SUGAR BRITCHES

Sugar Britches’ Crochet Boutique is about my love affair with crocheting. It's a rekindled love, or a reinvented one, rather.

Years ago, as a starry-eyed girl, I would sit and watch my mom’s hands fly through that yarn at what seemed to be a 100 miles per hour. I was so fascinated! So tried as she might, mom taught me how to crochet. Chains turned into rounds, rounds turned into granny squares, and granny squares turned into frustration. My impatience grew and my interest faded into oblivion.

Fast-forward almost 30 years (holy cow!). I changed jobs to a nice cozy desk job and low and behold a coworker (the only other female. God Bless her!) crochets. So there I am, that starry-eyed girl again, watching her hands fly through that yarn just like Mom’s had. Soon, this little twinge turned into an interest. Then, after tossing the idea back and forth and wondering whether it would be another failed attempt, I caved to the temptation. Chains turned into rounds, rounds turned into granny squares and now granny squares have turned into an obsession.

Crocheting is not only my hobby but also my sanity. Never have I found something so soothing, so relaxing. It’s second nature now. It’s like My HANDS…..WERE…..CREATED……TO…..CROCHET!!!! Ok, a little dramatic but I amuse easily. My brain cannot comprehend why in the world this little jewel of a pass time was so hard to grasp the first time around. I’m glad that my stubborn side came out on this one, as I was determined to lick this! And so I did.

As for the name, it’s nothing quite as elaborate as above. Just the simple fact that I have the most amazing husband and he affectionately calls me “Sugar Britches”, a name I wear proudly!

I hope you enjoy!
