Carol Holding

Ask Carol Holding how she feels about crochet, and she says, "I'm obsessed! While I'm making one project, l'm thinking, 'Well, what if I did it this way, instead?' The ideas never stop coming, I taught myself to crochet, starting when I was about 18, and haven't stopped. I also like to paint landscapes. Being creative is natural for me, and that includes home improvement." Carol and her twin sister share a house in South Carolina and plan to move to a country house they are remodeling.
