My Other Pastime: January 2017

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.

January 2017

I started this afghan before Christmas. It actually was going to be a sweater for my mom, but I just didn't like the way it was turning out and so I pulled it all out and started this afghan for her instead. I didn't finish it for Christmas though so I am now ready to give it to her for her birthday in April!
