A cozy hobby turned into something bigger

               On evenings and weekends, Linda Rosenbaum of Clarion can often be found cuddled under a blanket. Interestingly, this is not because she’s relaxing with a good book or her favorite show curled up on the couch. Instead, she is hard at work with multiple skeins of yarn crocheting some rather complex blankets.

               Rosenbaum, who grew up in the Nashua area, said her mother taught her to crochet when she was young. “I would get excited when I was finally able to crochet a chain and then even more excited when it was finally straight,” she stated.
