In high school, our 4H group got invited to ride in the annual rodeo parade dressed as clowns. I had a horse but no saddle, so I borrowed one from the neighbor. My friend Regina taught me how to crochet a granny square, so I made a saddle blanket for my horse. It’s not a great picture, but you can see the yellow and brown stripes peaking out from the edge of the saddle. That’s the first crochet item I ever completed.
