I'm still working on the basics--unfortunately, I have some commissioned doll rerooting jobs to finish, so I have to save my fingers for a week or so. ^^; I hope I don't forget what I've learned once I'm done with them!

My mother says I'm definitely not giving any crocheted stuff away. ^^; I think it's because back before she got married, she gave my paternal grandmother an afghan she had worked months on and my grandmother gave it to her dog. Tore the thing to shreds. Seeing how much work I put into a couple of practice rows, I can see how she's still traumatized.
