Whilst hibernating over the winter months I have been crocheting away on various projects.
Wooly winter scarves...
My first ever baby blanket...
This sat unfinished until it was revealed that my niece is expecting a little boy so I was able to finish the edging in blue. Her second son is due at the end of May.
A cotton yarn bowl...
This wool was found in the back of a cupboard when my Dad was having a clear out. My Mum was a keen knitter and had quite a stash of yarns - that I have now inherited. I can't knit and I'm relatively new to crocheting so I haven't experimented with different yarns. This cotton yarn was much thicker than anything I have worked with before and I had to buy a size 10 crochet hook. It did make for a very quick project.
Tin Covers
Like many others, I have been totally inspired by Lucy at Attic 24. Theses tuna tin covers make pretty little plant pots for the mini daffodils - a bargain buy at 99p from Morrison's.
And my new WIP is a throw for my living room. Lovely, soft wool in muted colours. This is a big project so I'll probably be working on it through the year and hopefully have it finished in time for next winter!
