WOYWW

WOYWW 98 - Wool!
I'm teaching myself to crochet after many years... I was telling a few of my teamies over on UKS that my mum tried to teach me to crochet by starting me off doing granny squares! These, however always ended up as balls!! ideal for cat toys!

So, On my work desk today is the wool that arrived this morning at 7.55 from Kirsty at Samuel Taylor 's and the bamboo crochet hooks that I bought on eBay from Knitterknacks... very soon I shall be starting a blanket in the lilac, green and cream colours.























Thanks for dropping by

Oooh very exciting, I can't wait to see the finished project :) I started crochet last year I think and then it just kind of got lost in all the other things I had to do but I saw the most gorgeous crochet wrap the other day on Kim Sonksen's blog and am dying to start again. I just need to order a book with instructions because I don't think I remember how. lol

If I can teach myself to crochet Lisa, I’m sure you can!

Strangly, one of the first things I made was a bedspread. I was in my teens (to many years ago) and I still have it. It was made with flower motifs that were all joined together.

The colours that you’ve chosen for your blanket go beautifully together.
I look forward to seeing your progress.

Happy Easter and Crafting!
