I think I have finally gotten the hang of this crochet thing..and I'm hooked!! Literally! I'm in love with it. At first, learning was tough! My tension was all bonkers. Working into that darn little foundation chain almost had me running and never looking back. Yet I stuck it out. My mom crochet's and she said practice practice practice. At that time I was pregnant with my 3rd son and I figured I would give it a go and make a simple blankie using DC stiches. Simple, right? Yea, uh huhh. That foundation chain alone was insanely hard for me to work into. I am not even going to lie I took apart that foundation chain at least two dozen times, sometimes I would be on the second, third, even fourth DC row and I would take it apart and start over. I was insane and honestly I have no idea why I didn't just quit right then and there. Maybe because that was my little zen time regardless of the outcome, working that yard seemed to relax me. Being pregnant there is only so much you can do or at least for me, and that was something I could easily work on while watching TV, taking my daughter to the park, visiting my mom. I loved how I could take this little project with me. Well as for the Manly Blankie, I didn't finish him. Gasp! I know. Tsk Tsk! I was working on it while pregnant, and then the last month of pregnancy I was just so focused on having my son I put it aside and forgot about it.
Say helloooo to the Manly Blankie!
Simple. Yes, yet lovely. :P Now that I've seen the Manly Blankie again, makes me want to finish him up real soon. Especially with winter coming. I love this yarn, so soft and snuggly.
This is my first project and it will always be a bit special.
Is it me or did Walmart stop selling Vanna's Choice. I went the other day and it was all gone. Boo. Back to Michael's for yarn, I love the variety there and can't beat the price with their 40% off coupon.
