I first learned to crochet in high school. I made an overly large stocking cap for my dad, and then promptly quit crocheting. I think I must have been busy with school. I forgot how to make a slip knot, how to make a chain and how to crochet into the chain. Hopeless!

After graduating with my masters degree, I decided it was time to relearn my crocheting technique. I signed up for a two session course and immediately the muscle memory returned.

So far, I’ve made two Rasta-inspired granny squares! And there’s no stopping me until I’ve made an entire afghan!
