You may have noticed that I posted a little while ago that I was learning how to crochet. So after perfecting the single, double crochet and assorted combinations, I was finally ready to attempt a bigger project. So I've started a pram blanket for Jaeminkins which I'm yet to finish.
Youtube is a fantastic resource especially watching a clip of learning how to crochet a granny square. After a watching the clips a few times probably more like 20 times, I finally got the hang of it. Art of crochet by Teresa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Wh7IOT9BI was the best clip to learn from as a beginner.
I started on Thursday and finished on Saturday so it took 3 days to finish. Basically I was crocheting when Jaeminkins was asleep or happy amusing himself with his toys. The ball of wool was as big as him.
I decided to finish it off with scalloped edging. Doesn't look too bad.
As it was a little wrinkly in places, I used a steam iron to straighten it out. It made the blanket softer and flattened the crochet design.
Hoping that Little Rosie likes her one of a kind crochet blanket.
Great work, you have inspired me to learn to crochet!!!
