This year, I am putting two of my favorite hobbies together - Reading and Crocheting!

I'm posting this now to keep me "on track" and focused on this new adventure! 

 I'm planning to crochet a simple granny square inspired by the book's front cover that I'm reading.  I'm hoping to read 48 books this year -making a blanket of 6x8 squares.  We shall see! 

Here is my beginning row, so far!

If you have a recommendation of what to read, please let me know.  I like all types of genres of reading!  

Thank you for stopping by and allowing me to share my new crocheting project with you.  Remember though those you love the most... until next time!
