You rock with sweaters. I made hairpin lace shawls many moons ago that were pretty. Isn't it fun to have a homemade afghan! Unfortunately dog's claws can ruin them. I made one for each of the kids but two of the blanets got claw holes. So I switched to the tied fleece blankets and those are pretty indestructible. We were blessed to learn sewing in school and that all started me on the handiwork path. I really had forgotten about so many of the interesting crafting channels that were on. This whole thing we are in now has been pretty all consuming. I have always made whatever I wanted or needed and that has given me many hours of joy. Have fun and carry on!
Oh I wish I could do hairpin lace I have a friend that used to do hardanger. My sister makes tied fleece blankets.
Tip, so it doesn't get fuzzballs and stays soft when you wash it use a quarter cup of white vinegar in the rinse and air dry it. I use mine with my afghan during naps.
My favorite pattern to work with is C2C, although I've done a ton of granny squares and just plain double crochet afghans too. I'm currently working on a sampler afghan for my niece.
