Memorial Day

It's Memorial day already! Just the other day it was January! Well, I volunteered to work today, and I wish I hadn't. I have a few projects I'm working on that I'd like to complete. I seem to have a weird obsession with vintage crochet these days. I don't know what it is but I cannot seem to get enough! I want to make everything with granny squares or in oddly colored yarns picked up at garage sales. I have a blanket that my great grandmother made me, and I really want to sit down and work one up. Its a simple Mile-a-minute pattern made in baby pastels but its beautiful! I haven't been able to focus enough to sit down and just make one yet. I've settled with starting a cute little poncho made out of... Yep, granny squares. They are just so easy to whip up and sew together. The simplicity of them is quite wonderful. I love their versatility, each square can be drastically different or just the same. Maybe I'll mix it up a little in the future but for now I'm going to settle down with my hook and crank out some squares. :) ahh, happy hook'n!
