A handmade baby blanket from Vanna White?

That's right y'all, when she's not busy flipping letters on Wheel of Fortune, the South Carolina native is partaking in her favorite hobby: crocheting

The game show hostess discussed her passion for all things yarn and crocheting on ABC News' Nightline back in 2017.

"When I was five years old, my grandmother taught me how to crochet," White said. "And, of course, as the years went on, I stopped doing it all the time-until I started Wheel of Fortune. My hairdresser was crocheting a baby blanket for her baby, so I picked it up again and never stopped."

Decades later and the game show legend is still making baby blankets and afghans for friends and strangers alike. She has even her own line of yarn, Vanna's Choice, and has donated nearly $2 million of the proceeds to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

"I really am just a normal person," White told WECT last year. "I dress up on the show, all kinds of jewelry and high heels, beautiful gowns and such. But I'm really a down home Southern girl from South Carolina. It will always be my home."
