    Evening all,

    I'm just finishing my blanket, it should be done tonight:j
    I'm so pleased, its the first proper project I've finished in crochet so even though its not perfect I'm so chuffed:D
    So will pop back and upload a picture later and update my list as well. I think I shall do a little crochet elephant that I've seen next just for a change and then on to my cross stitch sampler.
    Hope everyone is doing ok x

    Gorgeous Julie - what an achievement.

    I'm just popping in to say that several projects are nearing completion. Tomorrow I am aiming to complete my white logcabin patchwork cushion and tonight should see a batch of christmas cards completed - early I know but then I will put them away and try not to forget where I put them!

    Thank you Mrs Money penny and Ninno and everyone else
    I am very self critical and annoyed its not perfect but I will get there.
    I've started a blanket for mum for Christmas as she more or less asked for one. So far I've done four squares. I am well and truly addicted to crochet I think:o
    Anyway here is a little pic. The best thing is I did the last one without a pattern. Think my brain is finally beginning to understand crochet a little better th_fb2ed35cda80c53566bd47d68f1d974f_zps8473601c.jpg
    Hope you are all doing ok x
