To be clear, I had no idea what I was doing, whether I thought so at the time or not.

I pick up stuff pretty easy, at least when it comes to the arts, but I would learn 1 stitch and think I could make my own patterns. Most of these projects ended up being Christmas gifts for my family, so they were pretty forgiving…haha. I learned a lot about what not to do. Less is more, yarn chains get longer when you add real stitches in there so what you think is a normal sized blanket will end up being about 12’ wide….and take you around 85hrs to complete! Hope you get a kick out of my early days, cause I sure do.
