My mum was brilliant at crochet. I remember as a child there were lots of peach coloured doily type coasters around the house which my mum had made. Its only now I can appriciate how intricate and detailed they were.
I nagged my favorite Auntie to teach me how to crochet while visisting her for a week in Dec last year. Between us we made a beanine hat. I took it home to finish it and made it too tight so I had to "frog" it (rip it rip it rip it). But was not at all put off.
Since then my talent is getting better. Ive made two baby blankets, a poorly blanket for me, a WIP - work in progress bag, a cloche hat, a neck warmer, 2 x cushions and 16 premature baby hats for my local hospital :) I am currently working on a Granny square blanket to go with the poorly blanket.
The poorly blanket, inspired by Lucy at Attic24 my first and favourite blog. I love Lucy.
2 x cushions made for my Dad and Stepmum to put in their Campervan. Really quite pleased how these turned out.
Some of the Preemie baby hats I made. They are so quick and easy to make up. Only take about 15- 20 mins per hat and were great for using up the leftovers from my poorly blanket. I will make more hats whenever I finish a project to "stash bust" and keep a teeny weenys head warm.
Finally my current WIP, the Granny square blanket. B wants me to crochet him a Batman logo blanket. That will be my next challenge.
Does anybody else have a crafty love in their life?
