I have recently taken up crochet after a very long hiatus from doing it. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
I find it very relaxing and tranquilizing in these trying times.

I can listen to a podcast, or watch TV with my husband while working on something.

I had to re teach myself how to do the basic stitches and did a whole bunch of swatches to get my edges straight. I have done two large blankets using granny stitch.

I may go get some cheap yarn and make squares using different stiches - I never knew there were so many variations!!! I do know I definitely need a new project soon .
