Now both wrists are covered!

I had to make another wrist warmer to complete the set!

Project Completion!

I finished the preemie hats for charity.  I'm pretty excited to get them all done!  I look forward to doing more projects like this. It feels good to do good things for other people! Now to box them up and send them to AJ!

My daughter's bear volunteered to do a photo shoot and show off its favorite hats

Nothing to do with knitting or crocheting

They are releasing these at the San Diego Comic Con and I want them!!!

Crochet, not so bad!

Here is an update picture of the blanket for my son.  Its about 3 feet across.  I made a big mistake last night and added another corner to it so for a short while it had 5 corners.  So I guess I was aiming for a pentagon at that point!  Oh well, yarn comes apart easily so I was able to get back to where I had added the extra corner and took it out. 

I've got plans to make a blanket for my daughter and make heart squares like this and use lots of bright colors

When I get this whole crochet thing down I would love to make these awesome creations!

First Attempts at Crocheting

I'm realizing that I like to jump head first into big new projects and tend to not sit long on the simple, basic steps. This might come back to get me in the end!!!  BUT regardless, I have made a stab at crocheting! I decided last Sunday that I was going to give it a try and wanted to make a blanket for my son.  Poor guy is 8 and is already almost as tall as his mom.  Most of his soft cool super hero blankets are getting to small for him so I thought he needed a new blanket.  I went online and found some really helpful videos on how to make a very basic granny square blanket and just hit the ground running.

This is where I am so far.  I think its about 2 foot across.  I've been working at it at home while we are watching our evening shows.  I like that its the same thing over and over again so I don't have to look at a pattern and can move pretty quickly through it.  I've got plans for more blankets and such so we'll see what happens!!!
