Hi everyone, I'm new here...so please bare with me.
I absolutely love to Crochet!!! I lose all track of time when I crochet, I just can't wait to get whatever it is that I'm making, finished. It's such a sense of pride when I create something myself and it looks so beautiful
I have become a Grandmother for the first time and I am now working on crocheting a Christening Gown, Bonnet, Booties, Jacket and Blanket for my Granddaughter, Mikayla. I'm so excited about it. This is the first time I have attempted to make any kind of clothing. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to increase and decrease...but, as it turns out, it's so incredibly easy! For years I have held back for this one stupid reason. Amazing how inspired one can get when they become a Grandmother! Now, I will be making lots of crocheted clothing! Tumbs up !
I also have 2 dogs, one large and one extra large....does anyone know where I can find some patterns for dog sweaters or coats? I'd really apperciate some information on this matter. My Granddaughter and I can't be the only well dressed ones!
Thank you so much,
littleolblonde1
