crochet blanket

As I said in my last post, crochet is faster than knitting. There's no way I could have knitted a whole blanket [70in x 40in] and finished it in less than two weeks! That's the advantage; the disadvantage is that it uses up a lot more yarn and is therefore heavier [a minus when putting it together in warm weather]. Of course, that's a plus for the recipient on a cold night. This blanket, like most of its predecessors, will go to Wrap With Love.

And so, I present for your viewing pleasure, the [unblocked] crochet blanket.

  6. Fabulous and it's for a good cause too. I remember trying to learn to knit,grandma was teaching me. I would drop stitches and knit so tight the needles would break. But my Auntie Lil taught me crochet. No such thing as dropping stitches there and I just flew! I did end up getting the hang of knitting, but the crochet really came first.
