A crocheted afghan backed with fleece...

One of my kids is learning to crochet so I helped put together the squares after they were finished.  I then backed the crocheted "patchwork" with fleece so it'd be extra warm.  



Camo and pink for a little grand-niece.

Doing some new things, too...

My daughter started learning to crochet and while I was visiting her, I rediscovered it for myself.  A grandmother taught me some basic stitches when I was around 11 years old.  So I started with simple stitches for now and made something for the baby. Below is a not very good photo of the baby afghan I made.  (1 large skein of baby yarn and a simple double crochet). I did the same stitch around the edges 3 times to use up the yarn.


My daughter made the potholder, but I finished the edges...it's a little wonky, but she's learning.
