Found Crocheted Twine

I was looking for my set of netting needles, digging through some old boxes that have been stored for years, and found this old bit of crochet I did 15 to 18 years ago. I thought it would be interesting to try crocheting with carpenter’s twine, the stuff we used to mark off corners on construction sites. I’d completely forgotten about it. I keep thinking I should learn to crochet for real, so that I’ll have maximum flexibility of technique when I want to make a hat or whatever. Anyway, this was a bit of fun from a previous run at learning a “yarn craft.” I did find my netting needles. I have an idea for a hat that will have a netting top and a knitted headband…

I grew up in New England, did a short stint in the U.S. Navy after high school, worked in various factories, built & renovated houses, and finally moved to the Carolinas in 1998 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank. I work doing SharePoint management site management. After work I make soap, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday, or possibly do a long-distance rowing trip. I'll be retiring in a few years, and hope to run a craft soap-making business to bring in some cash.
