Giving Crochet Another Try

~What I Learned From My Grandma~

My Grandma Sylvestra (Beta) had many talents. 

The thing she will be known for the most is her crocheting.

She was the best out there. She can take something as simple as a ball of yarn and spin it into something beautiful. I was fortunate enough to have spent some evenings with her and trying to learn anything she would teach me.

When I look back at my life so far, those are the simple moments that I cherish the most. I enjoyed learning to crochet with my Grandma, but I grew up, moved away and she passed on.

It's been almost 20 years, but I thought I would give crocheting another try.

I'm starting with some very simple projects like beanies and scarves to get the hang of it. Then graduate to more complex projects.

This was the my first attempt at a beanie for me.

It would fit me, if I were still 9months old.

Moving on!

This was my second attempt. SUCCESS!

Here are the beanies I just made for my sisters
The red one is for Vanessa and the white for Yolanda. I know the flower on hers is super big, but I was practicing flowers and wanted to try making a big one. It's not on permanently.

More size proportionate flower.

Here are the Mommy and MJ matching camo beanies

I love my little guy, he's too cute for words sometimes.

Ladies beanie w/pom-pom. The things I make MJ do.

This is what I will be working on in between

A basket weave scarf.

Well, this is what I have been doing with my time these past few weeks. If I can crank them out this quick, I might sell them (I'll have to get better tho).
