Hello There
Well I've had this blog for a while now and I just recently decided to start actually blogging, thanks to some inspiration from crochetville.
I've only been crocheting since September 2009.
I've made many items, But of all the Items, the 2 I am most proud of are my Scripture Blankets.
I made my mother in law and Sister in law scripture blankets.
My mother in law's blanket was the first and I made it because she was really the one who taught me to crochet.
The Scripture is Phillipians 4:13
I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me
I made these blankets using a filet crochet graph. But instead of any gaps, I simply changed the colors on the blanket. To make the graph took me a good while, but I LOVE dc Method, so I loved making this blanket.
The blanket ended up coming out to a Queen Size blanket, it fell over on the sides well, and its super warm!Of course when I gave it to her, She LOVED it! She was soo surprised that I made it. And well, that was all the thanks I needed
The blanket took me about 3 months to make. I started in Early January and Finished it in March. And thanks to the ladies at my crochet class "The Knit Wits" I enjoyed this very much.
After my Sister saw my Mom's blanket, she of course wanted one! Which I kept telling her I wouldnt make. She would call me every once in a while and the topic would come up but I kept telling her I had tons of other projects. Which wasn't a complete lie, because I did! As any Crocheter knows, you can never have only 1 project!!
So begun my sister's blanket. This blanket only took 1 month, because I put all other projects aside **5 to be exact** and started on her blanket. I worked on it every available moment!
We went to the Valley to surprise mom for mother's day because we hadn't seen her in months, I had the blankets in boxes, and I told my sister I bought her present, which wasn't a lie because I did buy all the yarn! So when she opened it she loved it!
You know, the one thing I love most about Crocheting is the gratitude and accomplishment that comes with it. Never in a million years did I think I could crochet, let alone make blankets! It feels good to know that your work is appreciated as well. I love to crochet, it's a stress reliever and it's a hobby that is well worth it!
Well that's a little of what I've done. What's your biggest accomplishment?
Stay Tuned....
