Hi, I’m Laquana Booker and I work in the Accounting Department of our corporate offices Carlstadt, New Jersey. That magical day I learned how to crochet happened sometime right before Christmas and lunchtime was much more social and festive around that time of the year. It was another day in the break room and a co-worker of mine, Rose, was working on a beautiful throw blanket for her son. Another co-worker\u2019s (Luisa) daughter Julia was visiting our office and during our conversation at lunch Julia and I wanted to learn how to crochet. Shortly after learning the basics of crocheting, Julia and I were in competition to see who could crochet the most in the least time. So I can say that crocheting started for me as a competition with a 12 year old, but shortly grew to become something I genuinely love.<\/p>\n

\"Crochet

My background is in accounting so to do this kind of crafty stuff is unheard of but I immediately was ready for my first official project. I decided to do a blanket with Lion Wool and once I started I couldn\u2019t stop. A week later it was finished, Rose suggested I trim it with Vanna\u2019s Choice Antique Rose yarn, and it was finally done. I\u2019ve had many requests from my friends and family to have my MASTERPIECE but you can bet your bottom dollar it is staying with me.<\/p>\n

Special Thanks to Rose DeMartino for teaching me how to crotchet; I will never forget her for that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
