Let's get it started, ha.

Remember when I told you I started crocheting when I was nine? Well, guess who just turned nine? That's right, we have a new crocheter in the family. Color me proud. I give you* my niece Hailey:

<--Totally presh.  And she has good taste in yarn.  Just look at that beautiful color selection!



She's got the eye. -->
The eye of the tiger.  ;)




Hailey has tried crocheting each year for the past two or three years, according to my sister.  Each time, the process proved vexing and was abandoned.  But now, at what I have determined is the magic age for crochet, she's off to the races!  To all you 8-year-olds out there, perseverance.  That's the key.  Stick with it and you, too, can make a beautiful blanket for your Miniature Schnauzer.  Yes, homegirl is quite fond of her dog.  But why not?  Dogs are great and deserving of homemade love, too.

*I do not actually intend to give you my niece. But you may admire her cuteness.
