So I have taken up a new hobby while I have a little spare time on my hands. Crocheting. When we first moved here a month ago I bought a little crochet book with supposedly easy patterns in it. I quickly discovered that I was not skilled enough to read the patterns! So I undid about a weeks worth of work I had crocheted and decided to start over doing something I did know. So I am starting off with a baby blanket since I like the color pink I went with a pink one. I figure when I am done I will do pink tassels around the edge. I think it is going to turn out pretty cute. But I will wait til the project is finished to make that assessment. And just for the record I have no baby to go along with my blanket!

last year during extended i taught myself to crochet. unfortunately, as i left georgia (no tears shed) i forgot how to do it. how do you like oklahoma? i hope we can meet up when we get back from the summer. are you aware that there are only 24 selling days left?!
Seriously, that's impressive. I have all the stuff for it but I have never, ever tried to do it.
Oh, ps, I need your address. We have a package we want to send your way. :)
your doing so good I'm going to start making one soon too I cant decide if I want a white one for when we bless the baby or wait until we know what it is and make a boy or girl one. It would be fun if you did have something to wrap up in that blanket when your done with it :)
Way to go, Rachelle! It looks really good.....and well distributed. :) I can't wait to see the finished product. See you at work tomorrow - I can imagine you are BEAMING with excitement....ha ha ha!!
Rachelle- I was hoping that was an announcement! I'm impressed, you're so domestic. What was it you and Ash would say- a stepford wife! haha You should make me a scarf or something!
Whodathunk? Looks great. It's one of my favorite activites. Relaxing, repetitive, forgiving....
lol you crack me up. Don't you hate it how you always have to leave a disclaimer stating that your not pregnant!! I feel like I'm doing that a lot lately. The blanket looks great!
p.s I hate that your so talented. jk just jealous
Let's hope it is a girl. ;)
I am sure that your blanket project is good for those long plane trips!
