One day a very dear friend of mine let me work on a blanket she was making; I think it's the first time I can remember hearing the word 'crochet'. Well, needless to say, she got me hooked (excuse the pun) and this is the workings of my very own blanket/coverlet.
When it is finished, it should have about the same measurements as a queen coverlet. As you can see, it's a pink blanket with black trim crocheted with a version of the half double crochet stitch; yarn over; insert hook into next stitch to be worked, yarn over; pull through two loops; yarn over; pull through last two loops.
It has been a work in progress but hopefully I will have all the kinks worked out soon. I started the blanket only hooking one of the top strands of yarn, leaving a dotted-line every other line of stitching. I've also recently discovered that switching the color before pulling through the last two loops separates the colors better and makes a more defining straight line between pink and black.
So far I have about 25 lines, I think...I'm too lazy to actually count right now, as I'm about to go to bed! Maybe one day it will finally be finished...
