Making a STATE-ment!

I’ve been fol­low­ing a thread on C-ville about some­one who makes graph ghans. She’s done Dis­ney Princesses, Dora the Explorer, and, most recently, Tin­ker­bell!
Can you say, drool??

So, I have become enthralled at the idea of doing the same.
I used to cross-stitch and still have a ton of pat­terns… so I just needed to fig­ure out how to cro­chet using a graph.
So, I printed out a small pat­tern — the state of Louisiana.
Well, I started it twice before I got a feel for it, and voila!

So, it’s not fancy, and the shape of the state is a wee bit off, but I’m very happy with the result!

I now sit here and pon­der con­quer­ing a big­ger pat­tern! My girls would really, really love a Dis­ney Princesses one. Of course, I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, so I may have to work up to that. Maybe a pil­low. I’ve never cro­cheted a pil­low before! :-)
