Crochet
This turned into this!
The cot blanket I crocheted for my friend Karen and gave to her at work yesterday at her baby shower. It is her first child and so I made the cover a generous size in order that she can snuggle in it when nursing or baby can lay on it or under it. It is lovely and soft. I believe in lovely comfortable things make you feel snug and secure.
I have equally being me started another blanket well the centres of to say the least. So far I have made 50 small centres in a lovely marled wool this one is for my bedroom as it has all the colours I like. Ice cream colours. The wool is from Wilkinsons and £1.35 per ball and you get approximately 8 squares give or take a bit and depending on your tension per ball (just the marled wool). The outer edge is going to be worked in cream wool.
The inspiration came from The Patchwork Heart a favourite crochet blog as she has such lovely designs and such a good eye for colour. You can find the blanket instructions with photos here (but I can guarantee you will find lots of lovely other projects as well). Here is the link:

DeleteMy friend was well pleased with the blanket and could not get over the fact that I had made her something. Still hard at work on the new one working all the centres first but still have to work the cream outers, Quite a few more to go yet.
Take care
