When I can't get to the allotment......

....this is what I do instead!


This is a baby blanket crocheted in a large Granny Square using Half Treble Crochet.  I did this in White, Baby Blue, Baby Pink, Baby Yellow & finished in Baby Green to cover all eventualities for the baby due any day now!


I then started a scarf.....


In Kon-Tiki Yarn - Cocoa, Pampas & Parchment Marble (Double Knit)



I then decided to Crochet a matching hat, which I had to adapt at the end as the finished product was too large - I must have a small head!!



One of the flowers, in Pampas and Parchment Marble.  I amazed myself that I could follow the pattern and get the end product looking like a flower!

My scarf and hat are both very cosy, but unfortunately FAR TOO GOOD to wear at the allotment!

With the left over wool, I have started to crochet some large granny squares, which I will make in between projects, and eventually make into a large throw or even a bed spread.  I will need some more wool, so Maxine Wools in Carshalton Beeches, here I come!

Ali, they are truly beautiful. I have been making granny squares too, in lovely girly colours as I am making Florence (my little grand-daughter) a throw for her rocking chair in her bedroom. I have improved volumes since I posted the first attempts on my blog. Yours look so professional, and I adore the flowers, that's my aim to make some and pin them to hats and jackets.
