Guess who has a new hobby? Well, it's not Jason. He has too many anyways (e.g. soccer, biking, running, darts, record collecting, etc.)
Today I learned to crochet. After a quick class at Hobby Lobby this morning, I mastered one of the four crochet stitches.
I practiced this afternoon, just hoping to make a square that we could use as a coaster. After about five rows though, I noticed my rows kept getting shorter and shorter. Once I figured out how to correct that and make it go straight, I figured I would flare how the other side to match my mistake on the starting side.
I ended up with this little guy. I wasn't quite sure what the heck we were going to do with it, but Radar quickly remedied that situation.
Apparently, he thought it would be a nice addition to his collection of toys.
Up next? A scarf maybe. Or a blanket. Or maybe just a few more oddly shaped squares as I continue to learn the other stitches.

Nanny taught me to crochet on my fingers when I was a little girl. I crocheted in my teens and then gave it up. Because of finding neat ideas on Pinterest, I started again and just finished a baby blanket for Baby Boy F. It's not perfect, but its pretty and I made it for my grandson. I'm looking at more projects now. I love how relaxing crocheting is.
