Hex Blanket


Before I disappeared I started a crochet along hex flower blanket, so thought I would update you guys.  

I’m still working on mine but got to the stitch together stage. Have frogged and re-frogged the item several times as I’m not happy with the combination of them together, but think I’m finally there.  

Just a bit more to do and I’ll have finished the basic shape. Still trying to decide what to do for the edging though now. as you can see i'm joining them together in groups and then granny squares in between, hoping it break up the mass of color a bit!

Thinking to double crochet around for 7 colours rows alternating with seven green rows, which will make it a more decent size.  Also thinking of backing it with some cotton to save having to  tie in all the ends, another thing to consider later in time.  Then I will just have to decide what to do with it, either going to be a blanket for the spare room,  ‘the craft room’
im sure when its eventually finished I will share with you guys.

i'm back


hello  guys, sorry I’ve been away for a while, a few things have happened which has kept me a bit quite but ive still be crafting on.


These days it has been mainly crochet, which is my current thing that I love doing, it all started with those owls that I was selling before Christmas [and still make and sell for the lovely chid flight] and most recently began making owl families, which look lovely together and owl nurses. Just to blend a bit of my profession in.


I have made lots of different crochet animals and this post is mainly going to photo bomb all these..












Really enjoyed the challenge in making all these and hopefully people will continue to ask me for them,  PayPal also recently doubled my earning when donated to the charity, so the money raised for Child flight from crochet items currently stands around £200, thank you to every one for the support.
