How it all began...

          I believe I have been crocheting for about four years now. I had previously picked up the art of crochet many years back in my college days. But at the time, I had absolutely no clue as to what I was doing. 

I started crocheting again about four years ago. It was a couple of months before the birth of my niece and I wanted to do something for my brother and his wife. I picked up some yarn and slowly started to relearn how to crochet. This time, however, I bought really big yarn and some big hooks. I still had no clue as to what I was doing. 

Fast forward a couple of years later. My sister was having her first child and my mom, more or less, demanded that I make a blanket for the child. Of course, I still had no clue as to what I would be doing and add the fact that my sister had a specific color scheme in mind. It almost proved to be too daunting a task. Then that old light bulb began to dimly flash. Youtube. 

So, yeah, I started trolling around the youtubes in search of baby blanket crochet tutorials. Lo and behold! I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m17BJOIef2k. This is the result of my efforts slaving over a hot stove...

It's lots and lots of granny stitches! It never ends!

After that, it was just one youtube video after another until I started getting a hang of this whole crochet thing. And that, kids, is how I met your mother...oh....I should really stop watching TV. CHEERS!
