I am a really crafty person. I love being able to show people what I made. I don't undertake too large of a project as I like immediate gratification. My exception to that rule is crocheting. I was shown about 8 years ago how to do a basic stitch and stuck to it. I mainly made scarves and some small baby blankets.
Right after Thanksgiving I commented to my friend Kati that I wanted more skills. She logged that info away, until she went to a neighborhood cookie exchange. One of her neighbors, the lovely Sharon, is a crochet queen! We all met up one evening and now I know additional stitches and how to read a pattern.
Below was a practice scarf using a triple crochet and I've done one with double. Now I'm going to tackle my first pattern. It's a blanket for my niece and involves a bobble stitch and ruffle trim. I'm so excited to have this scarf done and embark on the blanket! I've learned that I cannot start more than one project at a time, I've a tendency to not finish. I'll post my finished product. This weekend is supposed to be cold and snowy, perfect for sitting on the couch with a project.
