Tonight I am feeling very proud of myself!
This time 12 months ago I could not crochet. Nicolette brought me a set of crochet hooks for Christmas and I have learned very slowly.
I wanted to make a granny square blanket for this coming winter. Today I FINISHED MY BLANKET!!!
Today I finished crocheting together the last 8 squares. The size of it now is 8X9 squares = 72 squares. I did a row of double crochet in cream to give it a border and pull it together with the cream centre's.

Today I finished crocheting together the last 8 squares. The size of it now is 8X9 squares = 72 squares. I did a row of double crochet in cream to give it a border and pull it together with the cream centre's.
I did wonder if I had enough grey left to do a further row of 8 squares and make it 8X10 squares = 80 squares. Before I crocheted the last row of 8 squares onto the blanket I weighed them and they weighed 140g. After I crocheted them together I weighed how much grey wool I had left - 136g, there might have been just enough to crochet another 8 squares but not enough to crochet them to the blanket. If I buy a cushion pad I can do a matching cushion cover instead.
So, this was made with four 400g balls of aran yarn with this left over.

Today was week four of "Helping your child to succeed at school".
Also it was lovely coming home from Anais' swimming lesson tonight, it had gone dark, was cold and damp, but we came home and put Fred the Fire on. Lovely! xx
