Baby steps

I started crocheting when I was 9 years old.  Those potholders are hopefully gracing the landfill down the 'Root.  I've grown a bit on the over 30 years since and am working on some blankets.

After several "froggings" (Ripping out row after row) and a ninety minute, uninterrupted session, it has graduated from a long skinny scarf to something approaching a blanket.

Now for an edge and it'll be good to go.  So much nicer than the uneven potholders I was making at first in 4-H.

Finished product.  Love it and want one for myself.  That'll have to take a backseat for a little while and I'll need an even bigger skein of yarn.

 Since I had extra, I decided that I could attempt the baby hat that matched it.

One turned out great as a hat, the other I think will be a great cotton ball holder or something for my girls. 

Onwards my dear friends, at least 2 more big projects to be done in the near future, so I'll quit blogging and begin crafting.  Next post will be a bit more tropical in nature!
