While in town the other day I saw a woman crocheting a lovely fall colored lap blanket. That was all it took to spark my fire to create. My mom taught me chain & single stitch when I was ten so I went on YouTube to learn how to make a Granny Square which produced two little doll blankets for the girls (2 yr and 5 yr) not too exciting but a good start. From there I found this free pattern to make Tiny Turtles. The girls really loved them and they were super easy to make.
