happy b-day wegot, and good morning ya'll hope everyones doing fine, I am a bit under the weather but hope to be back up and moving soon, I finished my daughters monkey that I was making and will post pics of it soon, and have 2 more rows on my mothers day blanket for mom and have already started on a monster for my youngest daughter ( she loves monsters inc.)and as for new patterns ladies try looking up crocheted granny squares on google and you will find a ton of cool new easy patterns and don't be afriad to try any of them, I did and found a whole bunch of new ones that I just love and found to be easy than the intsructions looked. I have one stitch that i still have not been able to master and thats the bullion stitch, it has me nearly pulling my hair out, but I am going to master it no matter what, theres this real pretty pattern granny thats called the irish rose that uses it and i want to make an afhgan with it so I am going to get it mastered. well thats enough chattering.
