My first really large project was her Granny Stripe blanket, which is now on my bed. Whenever I look at her blog I think what lovely memories of their childhood her kids are going to have when they grow up. (soz for appalling grammar in that sentence! :eek: )

I was an avid crochet addict in the 70's, making all sorts of stuff ranging from shawls, waistcoats, tank tops to jumpers. I worked for a knitting wool manufacturer (anyone remember Emu wools?) and could buy the wool dead cheaply. From all my left over scraps of wool (and whatever I could scrounge from friends) I made up a blanket from squares of crochet. This is still in use today! In winter I keep it handy to throw over our duvet if the nights are extra cold and in the Spring it goes with us when we re-open our caravan after the winter. It can get chilly at night in a caravan with those thin walls!

Reading through some of this thread has spurred me on to sort through my long discarded crochet hooks and get busy once again! I bet I am shocked though when I look at the price of wool!

Abuela, sometimes mixed bundles of wool come up on Ebay quite cheaply, or try car boot sales.

Another fan of Lucy at Attic24 here! And I have subscribed to the new Simply Crochet magazine, but not read it yet, as I am in Spain for a few months, so have to wait for family to visit & bring it.

In the meantime, I am making a Ripple Blanket from Attic24.

For teaching video's on YouTube, I like PlanetPurl, but bear in mind they use US terms
