Crochet Time!

I have to say I am not a crazed crochet fanatic. I learned how to crochet in grade school from one of my friends and loved it. But it was only a single stitch and that was that for a while. I didn't pick up crocheting again until my Mom had wanted to learn. She knew how to knit which she learned from her grandmother. SO I taught her the simple single stitch I had learned many years ago. But something happened along the way. Mom out did me in the crochet department lol. She learned other stitches! Ones I didn't know. Since she knew how to read patterns for her knitting the crochet patterns were easy for her. So thanks to youtube I found a great channel which taught me so much more. The Art of Crochet.




This above video is one of the Granny Squares you can learn. I did a blanket for my Mom for Christmas one year and just made it a big granny square and added a popcorn stitch to it.

The first picture shows how vibrant the colors really are. My mom has always made everyone else blankets and I had thought this time I'm making one for her. She loved it!
