March Madness

I working on the crochet challenge for the month of March from Doris.  Crochet (pronounced /kroʊˈʃeɪ/) is a process of creating fabric from yarn or thread using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the French word "crochet", meaning hook. Crocheting, similar to knitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a crochet hook is used instead of knitting needles. (just thought I would throw that in)

Many years ago as a young child I watched my grandma, and several aunts crochet their little fingers off. There were a lot of girls in the family--grandma, aunts, sisters, cousins; But it was me, out of all the youngest generation at the time, who came away with the art of crocheting.  At the age of 10 (or younger) I had a hook and yarn in hand and was taught by the best all of them. I have made a lot of crocheted "things" over time.

This month so far I have made some little pink baby booties. They are for a co-workers baby-to-be.

I love to make these. They are fast, easy, and so adorable. I might just make these all month long. I can donate them to the local Crisis Pregnancy Center.

Also, I made a St. Patrick's Day decoration. It's for a YOE swap challenge. She supplied the link with the instructions. It too is fast and easy. It's a shamrock garland. Really cute!!

So with hook in hand and yarns of all kinds, I'm off to crochet (as the French would say)!
