Projects

I finally got back to knitting after a long hiatus and did up this blanket for a friend's new baby. Since I had some extra yarn I thought I'd make something to go along with it.

Last year I had taken a crocheting class at our homeschooling co-op but never did anything with it...I decided to refresh myself on the technique and try a simple project: a stuffed puppy. It was rather fun! I was surprised at how fast I was able to complete it and think I will try my hand with some other crocheted creations.

There is something so satisfying about making something with your own hands that can be shared with and (hopefully) appreciated by others.

You did an amazing job! I plan on posting some photos of my own of your wonderful handwork. Luca has already enjoyed his blanket and his big brother Elias seems really smitten with the stuffed animal too.
Thanks a bunch...

You must have some of your Grandma Hemphill's genes. You certainly didn't get your desire to knit and crochet from me!
