Crochet

I devoted the first few months of my NY time to learn to crochet. I learned to do a chain, single, half-double and double crochet and back-post single crochet. I also learned how to make a magic ring, crochet on the round and also on the opposite side of a chain. I made a few things to practice these stitches.

36 x 36 baby blanket with picot edging

a small (7"diameter basket) and some washcloths 

Crocheting is enjoyable and a good past time but I can't find any good use for it and yarn is more expensive than fabric. My kids and grand kids would rather have a quilt than an afghan, that little basket will be collecting dust somewhere and  the washcloths are for my husband, the only one who uses them.

All in all, it was a good experience and I learned something new. I might still make a few things here and there but I will stick with my favorite, fabrics!
