One of my favorite things about being a knit and crochet designer and teacher is that I get to live vicariously through my students. Because most of the projects I crochet are original designs, I rarely get to try out the beautiful other patterns other designers produce.
Elizabeth was one of my students a couple of months ago. She came into The Yarn Spot for some private lessons, and simply took to crochet like water. Next thing I know she’s taking some of my intermediate classes and showing me pictures like the ones to the side. In a few short weeks she had made ENTIRE AFGHANS. Do you know in the many years I’ve been crocheting how many afghans I’ve made? One. And I stopped early because I got bored. It ended up being a lap blanket.
So in order to get in the head of someone so incredibly motivated and excited about her new hobby, I “invited” (really demanded, but she’s accommodating) Elizabeth to answer a few questions about herself.

| Look how large this blanket is. |
Two of my favorite things in my home are a blanket made by my Aunt Connie for me when I was little and a housewarming gift made by one of my best high school friends. Both are chevron crocheted blankets. I have always felt loved cuddling up in them and being able to make those for other people in my life is what made me want to learn to crochet.  |
| This one is pretty big too – and the stitches came out beautiful and regular. |
Thank you Elizabeth for stopping by and showing off your hard work. Keep at it!
Are you a student that’s taken one of my classes or a private lesson? Have you ever worked one of my patterns? I’d love to hear about you and your projects!
