Valerie Abel's project entries are:
  • African Flower Headband
  • Colorful African Flower Headband

"I was inspired to make these headbands to match my tops."

Both use the same crochet pattern by Whistle & Ivy.

She tells us, "I have been crocheting for three years since I learned how to knit when I was in high school.  I was knitting off and on through the years then wanted to learn how to crochet because I saw that they have more stitch choices and are easier to work with.  Dropping stitches and needles in knitting had always been very frustrating to me.  I much prefer crocheting."

She shares why she loves crochet, "I love to crochet because I can do it anywhere, on horseback, traveling in RV, waiting in appointments, etc. I love all kinds of crochet stitches and designs. I really enjoy making crochet projects for my grandchildren, children, and friends. I hope to learn how to create patterns soon."

Wanda's project entries are:
  • Christmas Ornament Basket - "After working with some Red Heart Plush (discontinued) I found in my stash, and having found some red, I then came across this pattern. I decided to do one in the red and white (RH Super Saver) to hold all of the ball ornaments I was crocheting covers for. Each year, I try to do ornaments so each visitor, to my home during the Christmas season, can choose one as they leave." This is a crochet pattern by Make My Day Creative.
  • Carry and Protect - ​"I made the original case from a Cylinda Mathew's pattern and wanted a tablet case so I modified her pattern to make this. I used Red Heart yarn in Teal Fleck (discontinued) and yellow." This is a CROCHET MEMORIES (prize sponsor) crochet pattern.
  • Spikes of Warmth - "This is a scarf I designed. I used Red Heart Antique and an I hook and made it narrow and really long." NO PATTERN.
​
Wanda has been crocheting for close to 50 years. Her mama taught her when she was around 10.

When asked why she loves crochet, she had this to say, "Wow, I don't know what to say as there are so many reasons, most of which you have most likely heard before. Let me just say that if I don't have a crochet hook in my hand, even if it's only for a little bit, each day then I feel like something is missing."
