Since starting to learn crochet in 2020, I have completed 3 afghans and have started a 4th. I finished the original kit afghan.

I have made a temperature blanket for the child of a friend. He was born in Taos, NM and I used desert colors to record the mean temperatures of the first year of his life. There are 366 rows. I had to start over after the first third was done and size down the hook. It was going to be 9′ long and able to serve as a carpet. As it is, the whole family can use it together. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I made a big ol’ wrap-up-completely blanket for my kid who is 6’3″.

And, now, I’m working on another kit. This one is stripes instead of blocks and I like it better. It is specifically for Chuck and he picked out the monotone color which goes nicely with our living room decor.

I think I’m going to use these patterns to make one like it but with color when I get this one finished.

I like having something to do with my hands when we watch TV in the evening. But, I am not consistent. Some days, I do nothing. Some days, I do 10 stitches and put it down. Some days, I get 5 rows done. If there was any question about whether I have ADD, this answers it.

I have, also, learned recognized that I can really only work on one project at the time.

I’m not good at this. But, I’m getting better.
