I'm new here, and definitely at a "newbie" level when it comes to crochet and sewing.
I love both, but I have clumsy hands and no teachers!
Right now I'm crocheting what is supposed to be a queen-sized blanket, and I have picked a pattern to sew with my oldest daughter. SO I do have some idea of the basics, but not much else.
I'm really happy to be on such a cool site with such talented folks!
You are brave - a queen sized blanket!!! I need more immediate gratification so I'm making an afghan. Using a funky bold striped yarn. The colors makes me so happy!
