A little bit of everything...

When I started this blog I was heavily into sewing; I still enjoy the craft but crochet seems to have taken over me recently. With this in mind, I have decided on a blog re-vamp - I hope you like it. Blog design is like wallpaper to me; there are only so many days you can look at the same four walls.

As crochet is going to be my main focus here for the forseeable I thought I would show you some of my makes:

This is the first baby blanket I made, using shell stitch (and believe it or not, Poundland wool)

This is called 'Lazy Wave' blanket - I never did finish this as it was so big I got bored with it - and I am all about block colours really, I think it would look better with two alternating colours

This is an infinity scarf I made, using *1DC, 1HTR* and some odds of colour I had laying around in Drops Lima (LOVE that brand)

I made a couple of scarves using Drops Peak in Neon Pink and Green. Used a massive 12mm hook with the bulky yarn and completed them both in one evening.
These are by no means all of my projects, just a taster really. My tastes range from really subtle (although that is not represented here) to the completely bold and beautiful (which is hopefully more tasteful than the show of the same name!)

Here are some free patterns that I really like and (might) attempt soon:

Fika Cushion by Inverleith
Fifties Cowl by Haafner
Doilies by Crejjition
Ordinary Extraordinary Blanket by Dottie Angel
A crochet edge to a teatowel by One Sheepish Girl

This is just a tip of the iceberg, I may well do a post dedicated to other crocheters in the future, but for now - this will do.
