I am a brand new crocheter! I learned as a child to make a granny square and to make a scarf with just a double crochet stitch. Now….thirty years later, I have a 3 year-old grandson, and I wanted to make him a blanket in Florida Gator colors of orange and blue. I actually did it! But it’s way too big! That’s okay…it will last him forever. So now I hope that you veteran stitchers will be patient with me and help me to learn to do some other things. I live in Florida, so we don’t need a lot of warm clothes, but I’d like to make scarves for the family for our ski trip this year…
