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.

Little Red Riding Hood-January 2011

I made this for my friend. I think the next one I make will be a bit longer and a bit wider. But it is cute!

It's a SNUGGIE!!!! January 2011

When I saw a pattern for a crocheted Snuggie I just had to make one! I want to try and sell this. Never have done that before so have to look into it etc. I was quite pleased with the way it turned out. My daughter has been after me to try and sell some of my stuff. Makes me nervous just thinking about it!

UPDATE: I never did try to sell this! I gave it away in a contest on a book blog that I share with a friend. Edifying and Edgy: The Grand Prize winner for the Holiday Break Reading Contest.
