    Hi people,
    Not been on here much but am an avid crocheter (used to mainly knit but taught myself to crochet too :)).
    I am currently making a granny square cushion cover but here are some face cloths I made recently in cotton yarn from lidl- one in this pic is knitted too:

    Here also are some wristwarmers:

    Artydoll the shawl is lovely and so is the blanket pollyskettle :).
    Hope everyone is ok.

  • artydoll love your latest baby shawl and enjoyed looking at your work on flickr. Do you paint as well?

    I am so pleased with my ripple baby blanket, I have started another one, smaller this time, just big enough to use on a car seat. Wish I knew more babies, I think I am on a roll.

    You could always sell them ? Or knit some for charity (such as preemies) ?
    You could do darker colours for elderly folks ?
    Once I finish my cushion I am planning to start a ripple one :).

    Yes, lots of my work has gone down these routes in the past but now that we are OAP's I'm aiming to cut down expenditure on pressies. It's just that I am getting a 'glut' of pink and white blankets and no little girl babies on the horizon at the moment, but I'm sure they'll come in one day. I have a blue and white one in store too so I'm well prepared if there should be a baby boom round here.

    Oh ok, I have been doing charity stuff too, but also limiting it as we are on a fairly tight budget too. Babies always appear eventually so at least you are very well prepared when they do come :).

    This threads been a bit quiet, where is everyone...busy crocheting? Have just finished a baby blanket so will post a pic later on. I've started on the second one now as 'mum to be' is expecting twins.
    They're not traditional colours. The nursery is a coffee and cream colour so the blankets are to match, intermingled browns and creams. I was a bit unsure at first but now it's finished it looks a really 'rich' colour. iykwim.
    What is everyone else up to. Please post. Missing you all...
