My Mom and My Sister Are Great Crocheters ... Me, Not So Much ...

My Mom gave me this booklet

63 Easy To Crochet Pattern Stitches

Leisure Arts Leaflet # 555

Red Heart Super Saver - Pretty n Pink

Red Heart Super Saver - White

While learning how to make the crochet stitches, you are also learning how to read a pattern, and once the 63 blocks are crocheted you have a sampler afghan

As you can see the color palette I have chosen is extremely different from the Rose (Mauve), Green, and Ecru (Beige) that is displayed in the booklet

:)
