Bok bok will be absolutely stunned and amazed - she did her first bit of crochet today - it looked like a pale worm. {rofwl}

Where did you get the pattern from?

It's lovely - there's something about crochet blankets - they just make me thing of home and all things nice - guess it's a nostalgic thing from childhood - and once you get going it's so easy and relaxing )t' :-D

Perchy's blanket is just a really big Granny Square - have you any old craft books? I bet there will be instructions in there, or try this tutorial

I have been busy all day learning how to crochet, and am absolutely thrilled to have made some wonderful bunting.
