Last Thursday Sharon and I stopped at a garage sale. Okay, we stopped at more than one sale, but at one particular sale a man had bins and bins of yarn. Sharon found five skeins of wool inside a bin she was looking through and she dug them out and handed them to me.
At another stop, I found an interesting book, titled, "Modular Crochet". Judy Copeland authored the book and copyright is 1978. I purchased it for twenty-five cents.

Judy explains how to design interesting pullovers crocheting rectangles. I couldn't wait to try it and that evening I put down my knitting needles and picked up a crochet hook.
I used the wool I purchased at the first garage sale, and some wool I had left over from the mittens I knit this past winter.
