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.

ponytail hats December 2016




We barely have long enough hair for a ponytail! A friend asked if I could make one of these. I had seen one on facebook so looked up the pattern. There are a lot out there! This looked simple enough. The first try though I made the "adult" one and as you can see, it barely fits my 5 year old granddaughter! So I upped the needle size and added some rows and made the adult one. Then I made another one a bit smaller for my 8 year old granddaughter. They both love them and the ladies that their father works with want me to make some for their daughters. They were a project that piqued my interest since I'm feeling kind of blah about making Christmas gifts this year.
