Brown Owls Meet, Crochet to Hoot at, a loom and a lass

Last Sunday I made it to my first Brown Owls meet.

Em volunteered to teach us all to crochet a granny. I arrived a bit late and missed the very beginning, so I was in the remedial group!

At first my tension was so tight I couldn't do the next stitch! After undoing it I made an excellent circle. After undoing that I made a pretty good first round, I got stuck a bit on round two and eventually got there ...

I took it home and finished the square! Yay, now I can granny too!

Erin was inspired so I pulled out a foam loom and she made some squares to join up for a baby blanket for her dolls.

Hoot of a time, loved meeting new people and sharing the love of the adventure of craft... but most awesome was the fact that my learning a new craft inspired my little one.
