The Simple Things

As I have previously mentioned my aim for 2012 was to learn to crochet. We are now on the 9th Feb and I am well on my way! I am so pleased. My first attempt was this mini blanket (just using up some wool my mum had) 


You can see at my joining corner where I went wrong as I hadn't quite mastered it, I thought about pulling it back then decided it didn't really matter as it was just my 'learning attempt'. The pink & green blanket will be living in my caravan when I move back with my craft things. My second attempt is to make a larger blanket in the same 'plain granny square' design. 
I am really enjoying the simple art if crochet. The simple things in life are beautiful; today I watched 2 robins and a blue tit enjoying lunch at the bird table! And I made a simple loaf of white crusty bread- yum yum!

P.S - Is anyone actually reading my blog?? I am starting to wonder if I am talking to myself! x
