crochet anyone ?

hmo and glitterkitty Those are gorgeous. You should both be really proud.

I have got to undo 26 rows of my 84 row blanket as I realised I had missed a purple row out of the rainbow pattern. Frustrated is not the word! I was on the final row and wondered why I had far more purple yarn left over than any other colour. I was so looking forward to doing the edging.

I did consider it, but it's a gift for my brothers baby and I knew it would annoy me forever. The baby isn't due for another 5 months so I do have plenty of time! :rotfl:

oh well plenty of time to put it right then, i still admire your dedication though.

thanks for the great feedback everyone :-) I really hope they like them! They took me a long time, but now I can get back to working on my own rainbow ripple blanket :-) (which you can just see a little bit of in the top right hand corner of my last pic!)

Went to my friends house last night, she has it as a craft night and has done for about 4 years now, i fell away from it what with no babaysitters and my gaelic class and life in general. Well anyways i went with a ball of wool a 5.5 hook and no idea what i wanted to do - i have a ripple blanket sitting waiting on me that i started well over a year ago, i have absolutely no motiation to complete it. i started it as i thought my sister was going to have a little girl. when it was a boy i fionished the row and didnt pick it back up. i have a few blankets waiting to be completed, a few babay toys, but whilst doing my clear out i found a blanket i had decided to do to use up blue wool i had - like a dark denim blue, i have done 3 massive granny squares already, so decided to do another with that last night. i also use the 3/2/3 plus one ch in the straight my friend does 2/2/2 plus 1 in the straight

Help needed please , i'm struggling to find any videos or instructions on how to join granny squares, where the join is flat. I don't want a raised seam as it is for a baby blanket, also has to be pretty easy to follow as i'm a novice.

If anyone can point me in the right direction i would be really grateful.

i watched this one before i joined mine this week photo above but it slightly raised

Evening all,

Gorgeous makes, love the blanket and cushion. The colours are lovely and spring like.
I've finished my second ever crochet project. A pair of baby bootees for our new grand baby due in October. I thought these would do for either a boy or a girl.


Again not perfect but at least you can tell what they are lol

HMO I'm definitely going to do a cushion like that, I love it.
But for tonight back to the granny squares
