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.

Scarf and Fingerless Gloves-December 2012

So I'm kicking myself! I made about 12 scarf and mitten sets for Christmas and didn't take any pictures! I made them for my Bible Study ladies and this set I made for the winner of a contest I was co-hosting on my Edifying and Edgy blog. Each set was a different color and a different pattern. I made one other set of fingerless gloves for one of the younger girls in my Bible Study. I also made all of the girls in the family scarves and either mittens or fingerless gloves so that would make 7 other sets. And then I made all of the little boys beard hats. They were so cute in them. How did I forget to take pictures??? Crazy!

My current project is a Dallas Cowboys afghan for my son-in-law. I bought the pattern on Etsy. The first time I ever bought one from there. We'll see how it goes :)
