Sigh!

Oh dear...the end of half term week and just one more day to go till normality resumes again.  It has been quite a pleasant week and I have managed to be better at doing things with my dear boys and getting out and about.  I think they've enjoyed it too.
Have been quietly getting along with the granny stripe blanket and completed the full complement of colours in the first round of stripes and am about a third into round two!  It does look lovely.  Photos to follow...

Inspired!

Well I have started the blog up again.  I have to say that I've been inspired by so many blogs to do this again and they've got me crocheting again.  Credit to Lucy from Attic 24 mainly and from there I've stumbled across links to so many other creative ladies out in blogland.  Lucy got me started on crochet again-something I hadn't really done since I learnt as a young girl from my highly talented mum.  Needless to say, I started a granny square blanket which I started last year and finished this week...a long WIP!  It is for the boys to share as a snuggle blanket.  Although youngest boy claims it as all his and oldest boy wants one all of his own in blues, reds and greens (a granny stripe I think).

So there it is-my very first completed granny square blanket (about cotbed size).  I do have a WIP which I started at the time of my first forays into crocheting (about the age of 12...many moons ago!) and I will come back to that in the future.
Right now I've started another project-a granny stripe (inspiration thanks to Lucy's heavenly creation a while back) and it is going swimmingly.
