Thirty + Years Of Hookin'

[guavmom]

Some thirty odd years ago, I was a new mother with an infant son who placed the ususual newborn constraints upon my free time. This is "Mousie". He represents the victory of crochet addiction over sleep deprivation, and has survived thirty-five plus years, and almost as many moves. My son still has Mousie, and the pre-Amigurumi still rules the

Been waiting for weeks for Guav to get these up. We took the pics when I was down visiting him in April. The pineapple afghan is gorgeous in person. Very fancy.

What great projects! Mousie is adorable, and it's so nice that he still has it. (awwwww)

I love your picture post. :)

I'm so touched that Guav cherishes Mousie so much that three decades after I made the little rodent, and dozens of moves later, he still has an honored position on Guav's couch!

That blanket you made for them is beautiful. Someday, I am going to come to New York just so you can teach me how to do that!!!

That's the formerly grungey, stuffed rodent, allright! Irf you had seen him sitting forlornly, all sodden and bedraggled in the drainboard after his bath, you woulda laughed.

Sure! Come on East! I'll teach you!

Thanks! I started another QUiltghan...the Double Wedding Rings pattern, but ran into trouble with the directions. Soooo, I started this one instead. Much to my chagrin. Each corner section alone took fifteen patches.! That's a lot of sewing together once all the squares are crocheted. Yup...there's a lot of love in every stitch in that afghan!
