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.

Filet Butterfly-June 2014





Can you see the butterfly? Also in each corner there is a butterfly. I thought this afghan turned out great! It is for a friends daughter. The one thing I had a problem with is that I counted wrong at one point and had to take out about 8 rows. Otherwise this made up very quickly. Much easier than I thought it would be. I'm going to try my hand at some name doily's now. We'll see how that goes.

The pattern came from this book that I purchased from Annies:
