Foray into crocheting

1st steps in crocheting

Well, did you guess what the blobs were?  The colourful pinkish, greenish is a  HEART .  This is my teacher: http://crochet-mania.blogspot.com/2008/01/solid-heart.html .  Theresa is her name and her site is full of tidbits!  Anyhow, I am having fun learning this.  Now I will never get as proficient as my sister!  Her hands fly when she crochets, knits and cross stitches!

Off to the MIL’s for supper, after my son’s hockey game that is…

My cats…oh and crochet too!

The cats who rule the roost…even the dog!

I’ve been busy correcting this week but I made sure that I did some sort of handwork everyday.  I even crocheted!  Now I am not a crocheter and have never done it but I am teaching myself! …and it is hard!  I know why I haven’t tried it in the past though…I had an Aunt….well, kind of an aunt, a close friend of my mom’s.  She tried to teach me to crochet but she lost patience with  me and of course, at the age that I was, it affected me…but I saw a pattern that I really want to do so I spent all last evening doing single stitch and double stitch and the cluster stitch and undoing my stitches!  I think that I am getting the hang of the double cluster stitch.  I will post a picture when I have something worthwhile to show.
