yes, I have a grandma hobby

Years ago for our wedding someone gave us a dish cloth that was crochet(ed?). I really liked it because it was so absorbent.

So last week I tried to make my own.  As you can see, I had mixed results.  One dish cloth is a minature blanket and the other is a minature...flag? apron? mess.

I do know how to crochet.....sort of.  I've been taught to crochet a blanket, but I don't know how to read a pattern.  I know a few basic stitches, just in my head.  One of the above dish cloths was made with an actual crochet pattern and the other with the "pattern in my head."  I think I better just stick to my own pattern.

My teenager was laughing her head off as she heard me repeat out loud the following, " One single chain in the second chain from hook.  Chain one miss next chain one single chain in the next chain.  Repeat from star to end of chain!"   Agggh!  Then I would repeat it over and over hoping that some mysterious crocheting light bulb would turn on.

I'm still waiting.

My S has been crocheting too. You two should get together and maybe you could decipher those directions together. I have read them and YES they are insane.
