Have you got the pattern to share please? I've been getting into crochet after years of not doing any, I'm looking for patterns to crochet for Xmas pressies and baby shawls/blankets. I've been trawling the net for baby blankets/shawls but haven't had any luck so far.:)

Hello all,

Thankyou for the posts maytaurus, Im on my second pillowslip now and once ive finshed i will post pic, not a fancy edging jst dc shell but i think it looks pretty , but would like to do something a bit more fancy next time.

Do any of you find yourselfs getting bored with big projects and they start turning into a "job" rather than a enjoyabe hobby ?

'Pops head around the door' :wave:I'm a lurker on this thread but occassionally posted on the special occassions forum. I learnt how to crochet this year but had a break over the summer. I'm still working on my first project which is a 'Lucy' inspired hexagonal blanket. I'll post a pic when I finally finish it and yes...it feels more like a job than a hobby :rotfl: I have to finish it before I start something else as I have loads of knitted unfinished projects and am trying to be more disciplined

Loving all of your makes and I'm sure it'll give me plenty of inspiration for my next project.

I too am making this blanket, it seems to be taking forever! It's quite yarn consuming too so I think it is going to end up being rather small :rotfl: The more hexagons I do the smaller it seems to be!

It was supposed to be ready for when it got cold but it looks like that time is nearly upon us and it's only half done! Maybe it'll be ready for next year!

Ugh I miss granny squares!

I'm a complete amateur at crochet but am using all my odds and ends of yarn making granny squares. The master plan is to make a bed sized blanket for the nursing home where my mum spent her last days. There was a beautiful crocheted blanket on mum's bed, and I reckoned that someone has obviously spent a lot of time making it, so I'm doing one for someone else to have
