Almost Two Year Afghan.

Another blankie.

Crochet this time.

Started this when we first moved here.

All those triangles kept me busy while we were in a hotel.

(Colyer was six in that picture up there!

He is almost 8 now!)

I got them pieced into squares but stalled 

when I realized I was going to need to keep changing colors 

to piece the whole thing together. 

It's really no big deal. 

Didn't even take long once I decided to do it months and months and months later.

Silly.

As I sewed it together I liked seeing how much better 

and more consistent of a crocheter I have become. 

I scoffed at some of my old stitches. 

That Natalie, such a beginner. Pfft...

The more experienced crochet-Natalie, got to do the edging.

Nothing hard, but two years ago, 

I would not have been comfortable 

holding the yarn and the hook.  

I was still practicing to get the right tension.

All comes with doing.

I am pretty happy with it. The pin-wheels are pretty.

And totally not on purpose, but it fits in the teardrop perfectly. 

Such a nice weight too.

Being a beginner way back then, I used what I call "craft yarn",

which is inexpensive, but machine washable. 

Now-a-days I buy what I call "real yarn", 

which is basically the good stuff from a yarn store.

I am not a yarn snob, I just like soft, well made, and real fibers.

I am ready to start a new one. 

Maybe just squares in fun colors.

We shall see.

Happy Wednesday!
