Crochet madness!!

A few months ago, Parker decided that he would like to learn how to crochet. So we went to the best source we know for crocheting - Grandma Waite! Parker picked it up very quickly (as he does with everything) and our room has turned into a bunch of multi-colored yarn balls! He has done very, very well on all of his projects, and I thought I'd show them to you. He's done hats, scarves, blankets, and more, but I only have pictures of a couple :)

Here is a blanket that he made for Ryan and Stefanie's baby girl:


For Christmas, he crocheted a hunting hat for his dad, and we even lined it with fleece to make it extra warm! His dad loved it!One of his first projects is a blanket he started because he liked the yarn. We didn't know we were having a girl at that point, but once we found out it took on a new, special significance. He's worked long and hard on this blanket and learned a lot! We can't wait to wrap our sweet baby girl in it!






I confess that I, too have gotten caught up in the wonderful world of crocheting and have done a few small, starter projects that were lots of fun. For some reason, they are mostly for a baby girl . . .


This pig bib cracked me up:
We are having a great time learning this new skill. So don't be surprised if you receive a crocheted gift for your next birthday . . . .

Wow! I had no idea that Parker had mad crocheting skills! Who knew? I am truly amazed. I might have another baby just so Parker can crochet me a blanket:) Does Mom know about this? We should have a "crochet - off" next Christmas. May the best beanie win!

p.s. - Your stuff is super cute too Aubs. Love the white hat and the booties!
