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.

Plastic bag holders

These hold all of the plastic bags that you get at the grocery store. I thought it was a fun idea. I made a bunch of them for my  Bible Study women for Christmas.

Shawl/dresser scarf-September 2011

Working on Christmas presents. This is for a friend. I loved the lacey look of it, but thought it would be bigger. I actually was hoping that it would be a nice lapghan but it wouldn't be warm enough for that. I think she will like it anyway.

Football Afghan-September 2011

This is for my grandson for Christmas this year-2011. I had a problem with counting at one point in the center football, but didn't want to take out all of the work.

This is for my granddaughter for Christmas 2011. It is a hooded bunny blanket.

 

 

 

 

I folded it all up and tucked it into the hooded part. Isn't it cute?

Baby Blanket for new Grandbaby

This is an afghan stitch(knit stitch) afghan that I am making for my new grandaughter. I will cross stitch her name and birth date into it when it is finished. I will edge it in white.

Here is the finished product. Bree is due June 7th so I finished it in plenty of time!
