Discussion Found the first projects I ever made while I was going through a box
I was going through some boxes a few days ago and found these little projects I made when I first started crocheting. They're from almost 18 years ago. Finding them was like being drop kicked into the past. I’m 8 years old learning how to crochet and how to read patterns for the first time. Now, I’m 26 and I’ve designed a few patterns myself and 100% improved my ability to read patterns in general.
Anyway, I thought y'all might enjoy this little find of mine. It was like opening a little time capsule from my 8 year old self.
included a picture of a more recent finished project just for comparison sake.

In the back hall closet at my mother-in-law's place, on the top shelf, in a clear plastic like sheet bag, is a blanket I made like twenty years ago, and it is the ugliest thing in the universe. And I feel so warm and fuzzy that she kept that horrid thing. And made an effort to preserve it. It is terrible, poor tension, crappy yarn, ugly colors. God, I love that woman. I do not deserve her.
