My Other Pastime: March 2015

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.

Peppermint Throw

I absolutely love the way this throw turned out! Honestly I printed out a pattern and tried to make this but couldn't understand the pattern. I gave up on it for a while, but it just kept sticking in my mind. I thought I would try again and while looking for the pattern again I found a tutorial. The tutorial was absolutely WONDERFUL! I never once looked at the pattern after watching the tutorial. Step by step video instructions. Excellent!
