So excited its that time of year again for knitting and crochet!!!

[Seven Oaks]

My favourite thing about the winter coming (and probably the only thing) is that I get back into knitting and crocheting! Is anyone making/ planning on making something soon? I'm halfway though a crochet blanket for my best friends DS, I made one for her DD last year which she absolutley loved. I have been knitting (basic stuff) for years, but I finally taught myself how to crochet last winter. I find both very addictive once I get started!

Yeah... I'm meant to be doing the sleeves for a jumper that DH started - he knitted the body in the round, but couldn't face the fiddliness of knitting the sleeves in the round on 4 needles. I stopped when I got pg with DS 18 months ago, cos I was too tired in the evenings, and haven't picked it up since - woops!

I am trying to teach myself to crochet. My nan taught me to do granny squares years ago, but nothing else, lol. So I am trying to learn how to read patterns and to make some basics. I am making a blanket for a friends bub, just with granny squares, but I am trying to to do little shoes too, which are proving more difficult than I thought they would be!

I'm going to crochet a blanket for DS2s bed. I'll just do the basic granny squares (because that's all I can confidently do) and stitch them all together. I'm heading to spotlight on the weekend to get my supplies!

I am currently knitting up some dinosaur beanies and some Hoot and Hootabelle toys! I love winter knitting

Hoot and Hootabelle, how awesome is that any chance of swapping a pattern chippy? My kids would go crazy over that!
Cass and MrsFab I'm still trying to get the hang of a basic granny square, though this is supposed to be the easiest. My mum makes beautiful granny square blankets, everytime I've tried it myself though it just does not look right. I start my blankets off like this but then swap to other stictches to complete it.
Pholi, good luck to to your DH with that it sounds complicated!!
