    :j I've finished the block I was working on and added some of the finished hexagons so I could get a general idea of the size and how it was going to look. It's far from finished but it's starting to look like a blanket. It's been a real learning curve but next time (if I EVER make another blanket) it'll be so much easier :D

    The pictures are kind of dark and don't show the colours properly but I wanted to share now. It was originally meant to be 9 rows down and 13 rows across but has somehow turned into being 16 rows across :o

    that looks brilliant. i cant imagine making anything that big! i would lose interest after the second hexagon!!! :rotfl:

    just finished my mums mothers day cat. i will post it tomorrow. only one day late - not as bad as usual!!! :p

    reminder - its a cat!!! :rotfl:

    My single bed throw is progressing slowly,I only do it in the evenings,my OH goes to bed around 10,and the heating goes off,so I do it then and keep warm as well,lol.
    Its 46 ins wide and its now 53 inches long,so its at last longer than its wider.

    Thanks, trust me, I'm bored of hexagons now :D Your cat is lovely and your mum will love it. One day late is good for me too, I never send anything on time.

    sorry i cant remember who asked for it!
  • Well i've uploaded a few more things to my blog since i last posted, as i finally found my camera, here's the pics of my last few crocheting creations (please don't laugh at the chicken i think it went wrong as i started crocheting tighter on the body)

    I'm planing on making a load of little things things for my friends sale to raise money for the vaccine for meningitis this sunday.

    So far the jellyfish and the mouse earlier in this thread seem to be the only things that are quick, oh and the cherries. Any more quick amigurimi for begginers that are free that people can think of would be great.

    oooooooooooooooooo innit quiet!!! I havent been on much as had a few sock monkeys etc to do and things have just got so hectic!!!

    But anyway, I have done these teddies for my kids easter presents. They took me ages to do, I think I am actually getting slower!! :p The pink one is out of sparkly wool that dd says feels sparkly although dh thinks it feels like a brillo pad!! So I will be making a scrubbie out of it next week!!! :rotfl:
