In a bid to finish some projects in order to justify starting something new I have made myself finish the Sample Blanket. I started this in a bid to learn to crochet and it has been successful in achieving that goal. I am fairly confident on most of the basic stitches now so the next step will be to master shaping.
The blanket is more of a lap blanket as I ran out of enough wool to do any more rounds of squares. I didn’t have any instructions for finishing off the blanket as I unsubscribed from the magazine too early but I decided that I should use the wool I did have to do some rounds of double crochet and I am so pleased I made this decision as it has really bought the blanket together not only strengthening the edges but also making it look more finished.
The next project is some finger less gloves with wool I have in my stash.
I am also planning to finish some other non-crochet projects over the next week such as my eldest’s pyjama bottoms and making some tapestries into cushion covers – I have a new embroidery kit which I am desperate to start so this should motivate me.
