Well, my attempt at a hat did not go to plan, so i have started on a black and pink, central city rollergirl striped scarf. The pattern is from the sunroom. Fingers crossed!

Less manly hat

So I've been hooking away and nearly finished the hat but it just didn't seem right. Not the right shape and not very snug. So I have unhooked and I've done as far as the two dc (us!) into every fifth one. So now I'm on the hook hook hook. Let's see how it turns out this time.

Simple scarf

In a break from the blanket I have started making a scarf. I'll be making two, as they are for a couple of friends of mine.
It's in the early stages, as you can see!



It's made from Wendy Pampas mega chunky in teal. It's vert soft and snuggley, but sheds awfully. It's a fun and quick make, just what I need after working on the blanket for a bit.
The blanket is easy, and I don't get bored as i change colours so often, but it's nice to have something that I know I can finish quickly.

It's a new year and i feel filled with positivity. I am making changes to my life in a way that will be permanent. I love to crochet, i would like this become more about that. There is no point becoming unhappy about the things i cannot change, and should instead focus on the good things. For example, my granny stripe crochet blanket. This is slowly taking shape. Growing daily, and i grow to love the colours even more. I have picked Bonus DK shades of blues, browns, and a little bit of my favourite teal colour thrown in. i think i'm probably about 1/3 of the way there, and it's already looking more blanket like. When i first started, people thought it was a scarf!
It's such an easy pattern, the hardest part is chosing which colour to crochet next! The pattern comes from Attic24 It's my first big project, after doing several scarves, but because it's so easy -it's a joy to do.
