I made my first quilt when I was in the fourth grade. To this day, it is my parents' dog's favorite thing. I've traded in my sewing machine for knitting needles and crochet hooks, though. Here are a couple of the blankets I've completed this last year. I crocheted both of these. I prefer to crocheting over knitting when it comes to blankets. Both of these were crocheted.

| The coloring looks more pale here than it does in person, but this is a great cold-weather blanket. It fits our queen sized bed and is nice and thick. |

| Here it is again, close-up of the pattern. |
 |
| This one is a lot airier, better for warmer weather. Same type of yarn as above, though. |

| Just for good measure, this is my parents' dog, Missy. We got Missy right as I entered 8th grade. She was coming to stay with me last summer for a week and had to bring her favorite quilt with her. You can see it sticking out of her bag. |
