a start.

starting anything is always tricky.
i doubt myself and my choices.
with this granny afghan i keep worrying about my pattern, my colors, my choice of yarn.
IF...
i had more money i would have ordered some beautiful yarn online.
but, i'm poor and joanne's yarn was on sale.
and so i choose vanna, 2 for $5.
this is the pattern i'm using and i'm joining them as i go with the instructions that she links to...

so far, i LOVE it.
but, i'm usually a listen and clean and i'm becoming a watch and crotchet.
my house is missing me.
so, now i must give her some attention.
have a great day!!

  1. Jen, the good thing about Granny squares is there is no right and wrong! It's meant to be a way to use up scraps...just have fun! It looks beautiful. It makes me SO happy to see that you crochet, it's a tradition passed down in our family for generations through the women, and I didn't know that anyone in your generation knew how to do it (tried teaching Alyssa but she lost patience)...one of the few reasons I regret not having a girl, sexist as it is, I don't see my boys getting into it. You are doing a super job. Love, Aunt Sandra
