Past Crochet Efforts

I first learned to crochet years ago, but I never really did it enough to get good at it.  Then one day I picked it up again and I was much better than I expected.  Every stitch looked good and I was very surprised at how well my first few baby blankets turned out.  Then I started making other things like barbie backpacks and blankets without using a pattern, and then before long I made my first baby beanie.  It was supposed to look like R2D2 and it mostly did.  I was and still am a bit bad at joining rows, but now I like to think that I am getting better at.  I have corrected many mistakes that I have made and I learned how to read patterns and now I am thinking about writing some paterns of my own.
