Craft

No housework today, so I made myself a treat.
 I started a simple project
This is almost one ball of the random
 These are from my stash, I have
5 x Adriafil and 2 x Drops
 A close up of each corner, the effect is really good
I am good at making granny squares, but this year I want to improve on my crochet skills, so I thought I would make this tiny blanket, which I can use in Will's cot. I do like the plain blue every fourth row, it adds to the design. Once I am happy with my hook skills, I want to try and follow a couple of simple patterns. It would be nice to be able to make some of the beautiful designs I see everywhere.
I have no plans for today, daughter will bring Will over soon, we are planning his 1st birthday party, the theme will be Peter Rabbit, which was my daughter favorite whilst she was growing up, she still has all her PR stuff.
I do need to pop out for bread, milk and veg, but it's lovely and sunny here, so we can take Will via the park. Which will all add to my steps, which daily are rising, so I am feeling positive, working towards my January goals. I am also thinking about my February goals, my aim is to add one more personal goal.

    Very pretty, that will make a lovely little blanket. Two chain and a treble is the complete extent of my crocheting ability - I am very impressed that's you can follow patterns.

    Pretty crochet, the plain blue certainly is good inbetween.
