Georgia Crochets

Georgia has been getting into crocheting lately.  She has really picked up on it, learning new stitches and techniques. We've borrowed some books from the library, looked up how-to sites and watched how-to videos, bought some crochet pattern books, and she's made some patterns up on her own. We bought different types of yarn and have experimented with crocheting with jute twine, and have tried all different sizes of hooks, including P and Q.

In November she made a hat for herself!




And she stayed up late at night in her room to secretly crochet a scarf for me AND one for her sister!!!  I was so surprised.  No pattern, this was her own design.



She also crocheted a little net with jute as she practiced a mesh pattern.

And lately she has been crocheting motifs.




And here is a hat she made...no pattern....her own design just playing around with it and trying new things.

She amazes me!!
