Who else out there loves to crochet like me?
I don't do crochet often, but I should spend more time doing it. It's so relaxing.
I'm very thankful for my sister, Melody, who taught me how to crochet. I just could not figure things out just by reading a book. When I had questions, the book would not respond. Go figure. LOL But Melody sat with me, unknotted my knots, helped me figure out the counting and looping, etc. What a blessing! I am a very simple crochet-er. The most elaborate project I've made is a baby hat and I swore I'd never do that again it was so difficult. I like to stick to baby blankets, afghans, couch throws, etc. Now my sister, she can do all sorts of amazing crochet things like making vests. WOW. My mother-in-law made a bedspread... WOW. My hubby's grandma made angels and dolls... WOW. I'll never be that kind of crochet-er. But I'm tickled with what I can do. I'm thrilled, actually.
Here is the latest blanket I've made for our grandbaby, Wyatt. Brown is the base color;
yellow is in there because it's my husband and son's favorite color;
green is in there because it's my daughter-in-law's favorite color;
and the blue and variegated blue are just for Wyatt.

Here's another look at the blanket with some yarn on the couch... Yep, I'm working on a scarf right now with bright colors.
If any of you guys crochet, PLEASE leave me a link to your blog. I'd love to see what you are working on. Plus I love finding new, easy, free patterns too.
Hugs! Have a fun weekend! :) Janis
