Crochet - grannie square project

It's getting bigger by the minute and will either be a baby blanket or a lap throw depending upon how my fingers feel and the depth of my wallet :)
One advantage of learning with variegated yarn is that you don't have to think too hard about what colors to pick.
Having said that the store does not have the pale yellow or the pale blue so I skipped the yellow they had and am using a darker blue.

Learning to Crochet

Something I've been wanting to do for a looooong time.

I'm using variegated yarn and started out with the big doily. The doll hat is actually a mushroom shaped purse for some sewing supplies :)

I think I have finally conquered making a granny square. This one got ripped out many times over the past week or so but is coming together somewhat. I have another little project in the works but it is a surprise gift so I'm not sharing a photo just yet.

Antique Textile Collection - Pineapple doily

This is my favorite piece in my antique crochet collection. I think it is supposed to be the pineapple pattern but don't quote me on that :) I am learning to crochet and I think it will be a long time till I get this good.
