Here is the beginning of a blanket that I have decided to make. I have always wanted a blanket like this but I only learned to crochet last year. My sister-in-law taught me. I am going to knitting and crochet classes, starting next week, and I am really looking forward to it. I was supposed to start last week but I bruised my index finger, right at the knuckle - it was black and purple and very swollen, ow!
