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.

Cowboys afghan August 2013






I bought the pattern for this blanket off of Etsy. I just went to find the link to post here and it is no longer available. It didn't really have a pattern to follow for the background. I used an afghan stitch and then followed the graph that was sent with the pattern for the star and letters. I cross-stitched those into the finished blanket:

 This is for my Son-In-Law Scott. For no particular reason except that I found this pattern and wanted to try it and he is a fan. Oh, and he wanted a blanket that his toes didn't poke through. The afghan stitch is perfect for that problem. Very thick.
