Whilst she's in there, keeping herself busy and out of harms way, (with any luck painting her toenails & reading 'Grazia' though I doubt it somehow!!)
I thought I'd share with you one of the little presents I've made for the new arrival.....
We don't know if its a little baby boy or girl yet so I had to go with something 'gender neutral'....
A wavy blanket of baby zig-zags in shades of primrose, mocca, cream & aqua.
Its taken me about 3 weeks to get it made but I'm pretty delighted with the results !
I followed the pattern in Niki Trench's great book 'Cute and Easy Crochet'. I think I've made almost every project in this book by now. if your looking for a first book of crochet projects its really hard to beat!
Tempted to start another one straight away as theres something really relaxing about seeing all those waves growing into a lovely snuggly blanket.

| If its a girl, I may add a few little flowers just to pretty it up a bit more... |
I know, I know its only one blanket HOW many pictures ?!?! I'm just delighted to have it finished in time before the little prince or princess arrives !

Aw! Thanks Rebecca!
DeleteI just taught myself how to crochet last year. I bought the book above, a crochet hook & some cheap yarn & just gave it a go! Theres lots of tutorials on youTube you can look up but really you only need to learn how to make a chain, single crochet & double crochet stitch and your away!
The only confusing thing is that our friends in the US use different terms (our single is their double if Im not mistaken!). I discovered a great site https://www.ravelry.com that has LOADS of resources; tutorials & free patterns too ! Good luck & let me know how you get on !
