So the other day I met this wonderfully sweet old lady that happened to know my family from church. I think she was the most beautiful person I have ever met. She is retired and spends all of her time crafting to raise money for various charities and organizations. Her and I got to talking and I told her that I absolutely LOVE to crochet. She was pretty amazed and excited to hear that the "younger generation" was keeping the craft alive. As she was getting ready to leave she asked me to help her carry some things to her car. She gave me a big hug and also a box of yarn. She explained that she has had it for quite some time and is running out of space. She really wanted me to have it so I could create something beautiful. I thanked her and drove home with a box of mystery loot. I was super excited. I love yuck vintage colors more than anything! Most of the box was jammed packed with colors from the 60's and 70's. Brands I have never heard of before. I wanted to create something with that vintage feel something I could love forever. I was flipping through some crochet books and came across a chevron patter. I made a few rows of it but I didn't really care for the updated and more modern pattern. So, I went back to the basics. I'm making a traditional chevron afghan just like grammy would. I'm putting that box of yarn to good use. I'm going to mix and match colors to my hearts content. I've only just begun, but I am very excited for the projects completion! What do you think??
