Done


Well, I've finished making a crocheted blanket for my grandson. The yarn is handspun wool. The cream colour is natural, the other colours I dyed using my microwave. The pattern is here. It only took me a few weeks to make, so a blanket can be crocheted pretty quickly if I don't work on other projects simultaneously. But there are many other crafts and things waiting, so although I have another blanket planned, I do think it'll go more slowly!

  1. Lovely, and sure it will be warm too.
    The beauty of crochet and tatting is that you can put it down and pick it up at any time.

    1. It should be impossible, the weather is so hot, but actually it's fine. I think because it's a natural fibre. And the project required the right level of inspiration. It's hard to be enthusiastic in this weather!
