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.

Our Christmas Stockings

These have been our sockings for several years now. We had most of the family here for Christmas one year and I made everyone a stocking. Will have to make a new one for next year as we will have our 3rd grandchild in June. Can't wait to find out whether it's a boy or girl!

Baby cacoon-October, 2010

Isn't she a doll-baby? I wanted to make one of these  from the minute I saw one in a magazine. I went searching on the internet and found a free pattern and whipped this up just in time for a family friends baby to be born. She captioned this picture with "Anne Geddes baby" ha! It does look like a picture she(Anne) would do. And this baby models the cacoon and hat  beautifully!

Hat and mittens-November 09, 2010

I made these for a little boy. They are the colors of OU football. They were pretty quick and easy to make. I made them in a day. The hat took only about an hour.

BOOMER SOONER!

Hooded Bear Afghan-November 09, 2010





This is for my grandson for Christmas. It is lacking 3 rows around, but I think it will fit him just perfect. I was tired of brown!
