My gram taught me how to crochet. I remember the first thing she showed me was how to make Oreo cookie magnets. :)
We started an afghan almost 25 yrs ago. Thank goodness that we purchased all of the yarn at the same time.
Well, gram passed in 1998. I finally finished the afghan in 2003. :) The colors I liked as a kid definitely are not my favorite, but I will say the afghan is on my couch now and my kids love to snuggle up in it. It is super good for invoking great childhood memories!
