My Crochet Journey So Far

I learned to crochet when I was 16. My Great Grandmother was living with us at the time. She was a prolific crocheter. I had broken up with a boyfriend and was moping around the house. My Grandmother couldn't stand it so she sat me down and taught me how to crochet. She taught me how to crochet the granny square and let me tell you that that was the HUGEST granny square afghan that anyone has ever made! I just kept going and going and going! I slowly branched out from making afghans to making sweaters and other things. I don't intend to post patterns because these are not my original designs. I just thought it would be fun to have some sort of record of what I have made and who it went to.

Sweater-August 2010

I made this sweater for my mother-in-law for Christmas. So I haven't given it to her. I will get her a turtleneck shirt to go under it. It is a brown varigated yarn. I thought it turned out pretty. It is from a pattern that I have used before for her. The buttons are from a tub of buttons that I found and snagged from my grandparents estate sale. Don't know if they are antique, but I'm always looking for buttons so I put them to good use.
