Granny Squares

I think this might be the inspiration for my next crochet project, my friend has a Granny square blanket which she picked up in a charity shop for next to nothing. So far I haven't been so lucky, so I'm just going to have to make one!

Crocheted Flowers

I'm feeling very pleased with myself this week as over the weekend the snow gave me the time to teach myself to crochet. I haven't attempted anything major yet, but I'm already scouring the net for my first hat pattern. In the meantime I've been playing around with some flowers which I made into brooches (by sewing on a badge pin back) as a gift for my mum's birthday.
