Blankety Goodness


I feel like I've been in hibernation recently with not a whole lot of anything going on other than curling up by the fire and dreaming of spring. Well, the days are lengthening and slowly, slowly the weather is improving so I intend to dig out the video camera and start recording some arty stuff again. 

In the meantime though, here's what's been occupying me over winter. The blanket above was made for my daughter as a Christmas gift; lots of greys and cream with just a pop or three of neon pink. The blanket below is a present to myself, the idea being to make something bright and cheerful for my bedroom. Well it certainly is, and I love seeing it whenever I go in there! If you'd like to make something similar, I got the idea, and the colour selection, from Lucy's Blog. And I love the little edging she dreamed up for it too!

Afghan - Finished!

Finished this last night and I'm really pleased with it considering it's my first ever attempt at crocheting something. After years of knitting it's lovely to try something different and I was surprised at how quickly it worked up - I doubt I'd have been able to finish a knit throw in the time this took. And I'm already planning my next project!
