Not quite sure why, but I was inspired to get out my yarn and crochet things last night. I kinda forgot just how much I had. I kind of have this knack for getting projects *thisclose* to completion and then being all like "I don't feel like crocheting for a while." And a while turns into 2 years. As a result, I have one blanket that is one panel away from being a GREAT blanket. Only problem? The panels are super complicated, and last night as part of my re-entry exercise, I had to look up what exactly a single crochet stitch is. So yeah, way to go Jamie of a few years ago. You couldn't have just finished it when you knew what the heck a hdc and decreasing stitch was????
I had a good time getting all the different types of granny squares I have going. My favorite thing to do when making a granny square blanket is to lay them end to end to form the length or width of the blanket... helps me visualize the end product. And every time I look at Scott and say "Isn't that pretty????" And he unexcitedly replies, "Yes." And the title of the post comes from one such moment last night when he replied with an eye roll "Oh God, I remember this."
This is what I want to make - does anyone have any good online free pattern sites? I've been finding that all of the free sites are sadly lacking in the usability and visual graphics departments. But free is free, I suppose. And I get these ideas in my head - like why should I pay $18 for something I can make myself??? - and then they just have to be tried. So yeah... me and my stupid ideas.

I always thought this one was very cute - even if it is nothing like what you pictured.
I don't know anything about crocheting though, so I have no idea about the usability of these instructions ;)

Oh, that IS cute! Maybe I'll have to dust off the knitting needles too now. I'm not very good at knitting...
See, I am such a novice I don't even notice the different between knitting and crocheting!
I love the one you made today though. It is great and totally looks like one off of etsy.
It's really cute, and the flower is a great addition! I'm sure I still have some ancient crochet books here (yeah, before Internet) if you're interested in retro ;-)
