Crochet Passion

Happy New Year to everyone, after a really hot Christmas & New Year there is finally some rain happening outside in West Australia. I know Queensland has had some terrible rain and flooding and my thoughts are with those that have lost so much.
During these hot and sticky days I have been sitting under the Air Conditioner hooking away to my hearts content and loving it.
I learnt to Crochet a few months ago and have not stopped since. I love the relaxed peaceful feeling I get from it. I don't have to concentrate too much like I do with my Applique and quilting.

Below are my first attempts at some Granny Squares.
I am hopefully getting the tension right a bit now, I guess lots more practice is the key.

I have also been making this blanket from Debbi Bliss Baby Cashmerino, it is so lovley to work with.
This blanket is going to be for the end of my bed. Ime loving this and try and do a couple of rounds every night.

Hopefully I can put up soon 2 finished blankets before winter.

Here's to Happy Hooking
