Finished!

Finally done!

A few years ago my good friend Jennie taught me how to crochet. Now I love to spend some time each week making blankets, booties, and hats. (I especially love to crochet during General Conference--it keeps me awake!) A year and a half ago I crocheted a darling brown sweater that Jared wore last winter, and so these past few months I worked on one that he can wear this winter. I am actually in the middle of making some matching pants, but I ran out of one of the colors of yarn (the darn pattern lied to me about how much to buy!) We'll see if I ever finish the pants.

That is so awesome! I'm really nervous to make articles of clothing. You'll have to help me. Where do you get your patterns?

I'm beyond impressed at the moment. It's adorable. My talent with crocheting doesn't extend beyond simple afgans.
