I’ve been wanting to learn again how to crochet so I thought it would be good to start with an easy project. I tried two different patterns before I was finally successful! There are many great tutorials on YouTube, all you have to do is search for exactly what project you’d like to try, and a whole list of possibilities come up. So much fun to try!
If you’ve never tried crochet, look up an easy project on YouTube and have some fun with it! π You can take it in the car with you or work on it while watching tv. I can’t wait to get some new yarn and make a new project. I’ll keep you posted. Happy crafting, Daisy
Does the fact that you’re doing baby things mean anything?
Hahahahahahahahahaha!! That’s funny! No. I made it as a gift. I’m actually hoping to have grandkids some time in my life (whenever my kids feel ready to bless me & my husband…) but until then, I’ve got some friends that are having babies and it’s been fun learning to crochet again. Thanks for the laughs π
Pro like I would say. Very nice colors, and I could take a lesson from you I’m also learning. Be A Blessing because you’re Blessed. Mtetar
Thanks for your encouragement! π
You’re always welcome. Be A Blessing because you’re Blessed. Mtetar
I haven’t crocheted anything since my oldest grandson was born (he’ll be 30 this year), so maybe I should take it up again. The afghan and little cap are perfect gifts.

Haha! You made me laugh out loud, Lillian! Yes, I think it’s time you try crochet again. I’m sure any project you try will turn out great! π
Lovely baby blanket and beanie, now you have rediscovered crochet are you going to join the CAL?
It sounds like fun, I’ll have to look into it!
I used to crochet ALL THE TIME. I made my sister a slew of crocheted food for her play kitchen. But a few years ago I dealt with a health issue that forced me to stop crocheting. Although I am better now, my wrists aren’t all they used to be, and I decided to take up playing piano again instead of crocheting.
But crocheting sure is fun, and I made four cupcakes for a sweet little friend’s birthday before/during taking piano up. They were cute. And so is she. π
Cute hat and blanket!
I hear you…I thought I might have trouble with my wrists/arms/hands hurting but surprisingly, it hasn’t affected me. I’m so excited and thankful! It has been fun to be able to work on something that I can do when I’m traveling or just sitting on the sofa “watching tv”.
It took me some time to get used to not doing ANYTHING while watching movies. Now it’s the other way. π
Those are very nice! I wish my first projects had turned out that well….you should be very proud of them π
Haha, thank you! My first two projects were utter failures… this was my third attempt in the last year. I think I would’ve given up if this one hadn’t turned out well! π
Well then I’m very glad it turned out so well π
Fun post. I quite for babies– but it would be fun to crochet such delicate pretty things. They turned out beautifully!
Thanks, Rhonda! It’s fun to do something different. I enjoy sewing & quilting but it was fun to be able to take this with me when traveling. I’m excited about starting a new little project for my nephew’s new baby girl. So much fun π
I’m impressed. I also would like to relearn how to crochet, but somehow never seem to find the time.
