Goal Accomplished - Learn to Crochet

Derrick left Miami to go back to work on Sunday and Vivian and I stuck around for another few days. I took this opportunity to accomplish one of my goals, learn to knit and/or crochet. I had my Grandma Dot teach me this morning. She chose to teach me how to crochet as it is a building block for knitting.

You can tell how I was doing by the look on my face here. I found the way you're supposed to hold the yarn in your hand very awkward. And Grandma seems to have lost her patience but she didn't.

 

After several attempts and just continuing to do it, I finally got it. This is what I made...not much I know but it's the beginning of something bigger.

I now know the basic stitch and should be able to make a blanket. Right?
