Such a hooker ....

A few weeks ago I went on a craft retreat with a few lovely friends. Whilst I was away the lovely CrazyCrafterNZ taught me how to crochet. I'm finding it so fun and quick but as of yet I'm unable to read a pattern. But I can do granny squares :)

So with my new found skill I've decided to make some blankets for my girls.

This one is for miss 5 and will just be one big continous granny square - atm it's at about 12 balls and I think it will need another 12 to make it the size I want


And for my wee rainbow loving 3yo I wanted to do her one too, but unfortunately all the wool in bright colours wasn't available :(  so i am doing one in acrylic for her dolly pram.

I'm 2 squares down. I think it will be 3x3 squares


I also found a basic pattern for a hat from Laughing Purple Goldfish that I worked up from Miss 3 from yarn that was gifted to me by PurdyPeas,

And the flower is from this youtube vid Crochet flower
