I can crochet!

I've been looking into a few crochet blogs lately and felt the urge to teach myself something new this summer. While on a trip to the bookstore, I stumbled upon this pretty little number:

The book alone is so pretty I had to have it.

My summer duties have come to an end and I found myself with a week of no commitments. Feeling like a week was not enough time to start a new knitting project (that and I have so many unfinished jobs to pick up that I'm still ignoring) now is the perfect time for me to better understand crochet.

After a bit of reading, I dove into my stash, grabbed a hook, and started experimenting. Please note that I haven't blocked them yet, so, some of them will look a bit wonky. So far, here's what I've accomplished:

Motif #8

Motif #4

Motif #6

Motif #25

You know both of your grandma's would be really proud of you as they loved to crochet. Your great-grandma Bessie would also love it that you crochet. Great-grandma Elsie was into tatting and embroidery...but would like that you are "crafty" too!
