Another Update on My Ripple Blanket

25 rows done so far

and I'm still in love!

A Granny Hexagon Cardigan

In the Works

I have finally decided to

crochet myself a blanket.

I have tried many times before but

always lost interest and have

never finished one.

This time, I am really excited about it.

It's coming together pretty fast

and my sister is constantly encouraging

me to keep going with it.

So far it's ten rows of red

and in the picture above

eight rows of orange.

I'm doing 10 rows of each colour of the rainbow

as I like the look of chunkier

blocks of colour.

And this blanket is really wide, like wider than I had planned it to be.

It fits over a queen size bed and hangs down the sides.

I will measure it eventually, but it's wider than I am long.

I finished this scarf a little while ago

and have sent it to my friend.

Still waiting for her to receive it.

Sometimes the post is fast, and sometimes it's slow

On the 18th Of April

at 11.30pm

My niece Scarlett Jo was born.

As she was only a tiny 5 pound 10 ounces or 2.5kg

it was hard to find beanies that fit her

and that were also warm.

So I made her some to keep her little head nice and warm
