Spice of Life CAL Tahdah!

I finally finished it!  It arrived just in time at my parents in law's house for their Wedding Anniversary.

I ended up winging it with my own interpretation of the edging, and did a pom pom style trim.

Here are some pics, I don't think I cleaned my lens properly, the photos look slightly fuzzy!

If you would like to have a go making this blanket then please go to Sandra's fab blog here.

Spice of Life - Crochet Along

Hi there!

I've not taken part in a Crochet Along before (CAL for short)  but this one has really taken my fancy!

A friend introduced me to the Facebook group last week.  It is being organised by Black Sheep Wools in collaboration with Sandra from the Cherry Heart blog.

Here are the colours I have choosen (they were selected for a different project, however decided I wanted to do this instead!)

This is it so far.

It's not too late to join in if you would like to...

Back on Etsy! Custom Ombre Blanket

I've finally got round to doing something I have been meaning to do for ages!

List my Ombre Crocheted Granny Square Blanket on Etsy...

Over the years I have loved making these for friends, sometimes for their babies, or their wedding present or special birthday celebrations.

I make them using three strands of wool at a time, adding a colour and dropping a colour as I need to to get the ombre effect I love.

I am now taking orders via {Etsy} 

Rainbow Ombre

I'm a bit of a sucker for rainbows, and crocheting - here are the two combined!
