Learning New Things for This Housewife

So I have decided to do something that I've always wanted to do. I have always wanted to learn to crotechy (sp?). So I went to my mom and made her teach me. She started by teaching me just a single stitch after a day she taught me to do the granny square. 

Now that stitch is alot harder then I thought and now with alot of practice I have gotten it down and have created this. Pretty blanket that has an almost antique look to it
