Allow Me To Introduce Myself

     


     Hey there! Welcome to my blog! 
Let me start off with a quick introduction of myself and the purpose of this blog. 


     My name is Crystal, but everyone calls me CJ. I'm a single mother of two and a full time student at Oklahoma State University. GO POKES!!! I also work part-time for TJMaxx and have been there for over three years. I have one fur baby, a kitten named Prince Soft Kitty. I also have an online crochet business that includes designing, creating and selling crocheted patterns and items to people all over the world. I have a page on facebook with a fan base of over 5700 fans (at the moment). Which brings me to the purpose of this blog. 

     My major at OSU is Secondary Education - English. This semester I am taking an Advanced Composition class. During this class we have learned some fun new ways to create compositions that veer away from the traditional five paragraph essay. Our focus has been on multimodal compositions with identity being the theme. For my final project this semester I've decided to look back on why I decided to learn to crochet, why I decided to start a crochet business and a history of crochet itself. I also plan to do a crochet project that pertains to my history with crochet and track the project on this blog. 

     I'm really excited to see how this project develops, and I hope you all enjoy following along with me on this journey.
