Great Idea for Christmas Presents
Crochet a hat!
Crocheting is so easy and fun, and your friends and family will love these handmade gifts. The best way to get started is to go to your local yarn store. My favorite one in Salt Lake is called Soul Spun Yarn. My friend, Somer Gardiner, started the shop a few years ago, and it has the best selection of yarn and supplies in the valley. She also teaches crochet and knitting classes.
There are two classes coming up where you can learn to make gifts that will be done by the 25th. They are on Dec. 17 from 6:30-8:30 and Dec. 20 from 2-4.

Ever since I started crocheting, I’ve had a really hard time putting my hook and yarn down. It is really addictive, but unlike video games or Facebook chatting, you actually have something to show for yourself when you are done. It’s a delightful feeling to be able to look at a hat, sweater vest, or pair of hand warmers and say, I made those.
Here are some of my recent projects:
Here’s my cousin, Mara Gronseth, in the birthday hat I made for her.
Me in my new favorite ski hat that I just made.
The possibilities are endless! And both guys and girls of all ages will enjoy crocheting or knitting.
