I've taken a bit of a break from yarn (see my
last post for my weird habit of 'sewing in summer, wool in winter'), my last foray into crochet being many moons ago in
April. To get back into the groove, I thought I'd try something easy - blankets!
Firstly, my boss volunteers at an animal sanctuary and they currently need hats for baby birds (to sit in rather than wear) and blankets for hedgehogs. So, I decided to crochet a little blanket for a recuperating hedgehog. Ta da! As you can see it's just a glorified granny square but it was the perfect thing to get back into crochet.
Secondly, my very good friend Lauren had another baby (boy) this summer so I decided to make him a blanket. Again, it's a lovely simple pattern (granny rows??) but I really like the colours. Best of all, I got to deliver it in person, which of course meant baby cuddles!!!! :D ♥ Oscar is SUCH a cutie.
Next, I need to pick up my knitting needles again...pattern/idea suggestions most welcome :)
Such beautiful blankets! I can imagine the first one with a hedgehog on top, so cute!
