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.

hat and fingerless gloves-October, 2010

I made these for a friend for Christmas. She freezes in her office at work and said she was going to become the crazy hat woman around the college she works at. She also said she needed some fingerless gloves. So here we go! The hat pattern is from Crochet World magazine October 2010 issue and the gloves are from an online webpage that I found. I tried to make some other gloves but the pattern just didn't work out. It was very annoying as I had almost a full glove made...but it was enormous so had to pull it all out. I like this pattern much better. You can check out the pattern here: http://beancrochets.livejournal.com/1078.html
