Crafty Mama

Yes, it is true. I'm a crafty mama. All right, that is a major exaggeration. A lady at church offered to teach me to crochet. Now, I'm not the most coordinated of people. I tend to make giant knots in the thread when I mend clothes, and anytime I've sat behind a sewing machine it has led to disaster. But for some reason I've been wanting to learn to do something a bit craftier, like crocheting or knitting.

I've been enjoying learning, though. The initial lesson wasn't that successful, but once I figured out my own method and watched a tutorial on YouTube a dozen times or more, I began crocheting a scarf. Now the scarf was less than successful, due to a number of reasons. Number one reason being that each end goes at an angle rather than being straight. I have no idea why this happens. I'm working on a blanket now and I'm trying my best to prevent the whole uphill crocheting...

I've been terrible at updating lately. Hannah has started gymnastics, so I need to take some pictures and come update on that! So I will be back!
