Rosa Gomez-Rodriguez
When I was about eight or nine years old, I learned how to crochet from my mom, who learned from her mom when she was growing up. Crocheting and knitting are very forgiving crafts, I can always unravel my mistakes and start again. Throughout the years, I have realized that crochet and knitting are very special crafts that have taught me to be patient and kind. I have been able to create beautiful pieces and show my love and appreciation to friends and family members by creating items that are unique and special. There is nothing like seeing someone smile when receiving a handmade gift that was crafted just for them.—Rosa Gomez-Rodriguez
