Crochet on a rainy night

What a rainy night it is tonight. I finished work at 6pm then headed off home where my hairdresser came round to do my hair - cut and colour so all they roots have gone for now. 

Now time to relax ..... watching The Great British Bake Off .... bread week tonight ..... and as I listen to the rain pouring down outside it is time for a little crochet. 

Just a simple corner to corner blanket with magic wool that I picked up from a local store. I started with a different pattern but I didn't like how it was working up. I am so much happier with this pattern. I will try to save some wool to make a matching baby hat too to complete the set. 

I will post the competed blanket when I have finished it.

Have a lovely evening xx

My latest project ..... Lily Pond Blanket

I have discovered 2 amazing blankets that I want to crochet. I really could not decide which to make first but in the end I have decided to make this gorgeous Lily Pond blanket.

The pattern is free and is made in lots of different blocks which are joined together. I just adore it. I bought my wool yesterday for the project and couldn't wait to get started.

I have to say that I didn't really move from my sofa from the middle of the afternoon until I finally went to bed. I did manage to complete my first block though so I am happy about that. I think hubby is dreading this project because the housework is probably just going to have to wait hahaha.  Here is my first completed block.

I shall keep you all up to date with how my blanket is coming along. If you would like to make one too the pattern can be found here
