While I was on bed rest with my last son, I was so sick of laying there just watching tv. And I had two other boys, so I really couldn't read a whole lot with out being interrupted. So I taught myself how to crochet. Oddly enough, I learned by the book called I Taught Myself To Crochet . While I was on bed rest I crocheted a baby blanket, a blanket each for my older sons, and many many blankets for my children's "babies" (Stuffed animals.) Since then I have made a few hats, one purse and a couple more blankets. I am by no means an expert, and I have a really hard time when you go straight accross and then turn.... I'm much better when I work in rounds (which is how I make my baby blankets.) So I am probably not the person to teach or offer my advice, but I found a few sites where they have FREE patterns, so I thought, "Well, maybe someone else would like to see these patterns." So here they are!
