I have come across this really neat site in some crochet groups I'm in on FB where you can sign up, get your own referral link, and earn free patterns and subscriptions to the Happily Hooked Magazine!

So, if you're interested, please use my link to sign up so I can get free patterns too!


Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:

First W.I.P. in 3 Years » Starting My Journey

After 3 years off, I've decided to take up crocheting again. I've also chosen to document my journey here on my blog and share patterns I use (of course, only linking to them). 
So, I've known how to crochet for about 10 years now (Wow! It doesn't seem like it's been that long!) and I've only made 3 things (What?! I know, right!). I made a single crochet afghan for my oldest when he was 1 year old and I made a single crochet hat and v-stitch blanket (Pictured below) for my youngest son right before he was born which was almost 3 years ago!

I had started an afghan for my husband but stopped when the baby was born.  Just about 2 weeks ago, I decided to start back up again, ordered some new hooks off ebay, and ended up frogging my husband's afghan. I found a great pattern for a throw and decided that was what I was going to do! So, here's a photo of my progress so far:


You can find the *free* pattern HERE.
Keep a look out for my next post showing the finished product! ;)
