More evidence of my growing granny status
Inspired by Carrie and a 25% off Borders coupon, I bought Debbie Stoller's The Happy Hooker this Friday. The women in my family all crochet. Afghans, cozies, doilies. They're all crocheters. My mom crochets afghans and my aunt usually crocets lace doilies or lace pillow cases. My grandmother used to crochet cozies. Toilet paper cozies shaped like poodles. I kind of think that cozies are awesome. In a really kitchy kind of way. I'm not sure if I'd make one, but who knows - maybe there IS a poodle toilet paper cozy in my future.
Here is my first granny square chillin out with my copy of the book...
This weekend was nutso filled with parties. This weekend we leave for Toronto with our friends Shawn and Amy. Then next week?
Maryland Sheep and Wool.
w00t.

i love those poodle cozies too -- we need to find a pattern and create a poodle-a-long.

Yay hookers! I initially learned crochet only because I was having a hard time with the knitting, but it is fun. I really like that book, too; I'm working on the Baroque Jacket now. :)
