New Baby Blanket

I've been busy making lots of granny squares this week.  I'm working on a king size granny blanket for commission and  I've made this cute little baby blanket which is for sale on my Folksy shop.



I'm working on a new pattern for a granny square throw using big, medium and small squares - just like the baby blanket above.  I hope to have it available to purchase by next weekend.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

Stuff I'd Forgotten All About!

Today, finding myself daunted by a mound of tangled wool and mixed up projects, I decided to have a tidy up and sort out.  Well, well, I found some things I'd completely forgotten about.  I found a knitted cardigan I had almost finished (I had to frog it unfortunately, it was far too big), a knitted tunic I began designing a couple of months ago and knitted scarf three-quarters done.  And, here are the crochet things I found that I'd completely forgotten...



A flower I designed and promptly forgot.  I can't find any pattern notes so I'll have to mentally deconstruct it to write up a pattern.  I remember I was going to make a nice throw using up lots of scraps!




Christmas Decorations!!!  I was going to stuff them with all my little snipped woolen ends.  I obviously ran out of time before Christmas arrived!  Well, I suppose if I finish them now, they'll be ready for Christmas this year.


A colour test for a new granny square blanket I intended to make.  I seem to remember I wasn't sure of the colour combination.


And, this one is the start of a Crochet Hook Roll to keep my hooks safe and sound.  I was going to line with nice, cheery fabric.


And, here is another flower I designed.  I even found some scrawled pattern notes which I'm now deciphering!



What, initially, seemed like a thankless task turned out to be pleasantly suprising!!!
