My Grandma Crossley loved to crochet. She found winding the yarn into a ball to be one of the most relaxing past times, besides having someone brush her hair. My Grandma passed away a while ago, but I feel closer to her when I am crocheting. That said, I have been learning how to improve my crochet talents this past month with the help of my teacher, YouTube. With it's tutelage, I have successfully made a stuffed owl, lizard bookmark, heart coasters, hair accessories, a baby afghan, and these super cute turtle key chains. You can buy the coasters and key chains here. I am enjoying this new found activity and find it is a great way to come down from the day. Anyone up for a crochet party?

Amanda! those are so cute. My Grandma loves to crochet too. She is now 94 and pretty much blind and has really bad arthritis crippled hands, but she still crochets every day. She is making blankets for all her Great-grandchildren. I really want to learn how.

Those are totally cute! They really make me want to learn a craft like that!
You're crocheting looks great! You would never know you just re-learned.
Ooh! I would love to join you in a crochet party. =) I need to get back into crochet again. It is such a relaxing way to feel productive. =) And it always makes me think of Gma Crossley too! Your projects look great!
