Chrocheting!

So I have found a new hobby...one that I'm not going to take to extreme (as far as complication) but will have fun with!  I have decided that I like to crochet.  My Great Grandmother, whom we called Granny Piestch (pronounced peach), was a mad-scientist at crocheting.  That's just what she did.  When we would take trips to the store and we would loose her, there was only one place to find her: the yarn section. LOL.  It's true.  Very true!  So I decided a couple weeks ago that I was going to re-teach myself.  Granny P taught me when I was in my teens and of course I didn't remember.
So where do you go when you want to learn something with a "how to tutorial"?!  You Tube of course!  I found a great video and worked it out! 
I did one blanket for us, which is slowly a work in progess.  And I made a baby blanket for Kelsi, my cousin, who is having a boy in early July.  The baby blanket it cute, but very amatuer.  I should have got more help from You Tube on the pattern I used.  Oh well, lessons learned. 
But that's what I'm into right now.  And that's probably good for Evan.  Because I'm not doing other crazy stuff like making multiple diaper cakes, painting frames, making chalk boards, etc.  All of which I have done in the past month. 
I'm excited about blankets.  I LOVE BLANKETS!  That's all for now!
