Mere Beginnings

I'm new to this, but I'm going to give it a try, a way to keep an ongoing journal of my adventure with yarn. I started crocheting when I was about 11 years old, making a saddle pad for my horse. It was a simple ripple pattern, folded over and stitched up with a thick piece of foam in the middle. Well, it worked, but it was hard to keep it clean. I believe I still have it, somewhere up in my attic......it's over 30 years old now!

My second project was a granny square afghan. I made it in lime green, dark blue, bright orange, and chocolate brown. The colors, even though they sort of clash, did work out ok with each other. I still have that too, even though it's in sad shape now.

More later...........
