For the Love of .... Crochet

I use to watch my grandmother crochet all the time, but never learned myself.  Now my grandmother is gone and I have longed to learn the art of crochet.  So 3 years ago I got myself a new Teach Yourself to Crochet book and DVD and some new hooks and I set out to teach myself.  The first thing I made was a wrap or something like a wrap anyway.

I couldn't even tell you what this stitch is. LOL  I got the idea pattern from here  http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/wrap.  I didn't do it exactly like the pattern, but its okay, I like it.

Now I have crocheted many items including a blanket for my youngest son.  See picture below.  I made this just last year and he swears you could cook a turkey in it. LOL
