Paula Rymon, interviewed on 1/19/11, evening meeting.
Q: What is your job or what do you spend your time doing?

Q: What is your nickname?
A: I don’t have a nickname, but my email Neoprym and Ravelry name Neoprymtyme would be a name you might recognize.
Q: How long have you been crocheting?
A: Since 1945, and I was taught both crochet and to knit by my mother when I was about 10. I enjoy and have about the same skill level in both crochet and knit. My mother taught me how to hand wind a center pull ball of yarn when I was young.
Q: What are you enjoying crocheting now?
A: I like small projects because I am slow. Lately I have made several hexagon baby sweaters.
Q: How long have you been a member of KS My Stitch Crochet Guild?
How did you hear about the guild?
A: I was part of the original group of 5 women that created the guild. I was guild president in 2007.
Q: What is something you have crocheted that gave you a sense of accomplishment or pride?
A: I used to make my kids sweaters. When they outgrew them, I would unravel the yarn and remake them in a larger size!
Q: What is a favorite memory or thing you remember about our guild?
A: I really love the friendships I have made over the years and think about the men and women who have been part of the guild over the years.
Q: What keeps you coming back to guild?
A: I love seeing the ongoing process of change. Each year as our officers change, the direction takes a little different turn, I love to be a part of the camaraderie.
I have knitted and crocheted since 1945, but never was able to do so with another person, not even my mother. I always worked alone.
I have learned so much working with others and from the programs.. more than I ever would have on my own.
