<br />
I found a crochet pattern I had downloaded ages ago and didn't have any idea what the blanket looked like until the pattern started to emerge and then I realised it was from a Ravelry free download. I think that it looks really pretty now I can see the almost finished result.<br />
<br />
It's still a work in progress...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Like everyone who knits and crochets I always have little bits of yarn left over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I decided to put them all together and make a traditional granny square blanket made out of scraps of yarn</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently bought this yarn and didn't know what to make with it and having just completed a Virus Shawl I wanted to see if I could turn the Virus Stitch from a triangle shawl into a square blanket.<br />
<br />
Searching on You Tube I came across another excellent tutorial from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlf7em4OhZc" target="_blank">Bella Coco </a>with easy-peasy instructions on how to make this rather pretty square blanket.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The yarn I used is from the new Pattercake range of DK baby yarn from Sirdar Snuggly<br />
<br />
<br />
This shade is Candy Cane and I used a size 4mm crochet hook<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had this wool for so long that I thought it was about time I made something with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This lovely yellow DK yarn has a pretty mingled thread which pops up from time to time, making it a real pleasure and such a unique pattern. It's a pleasure to work with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a budget brand but no less workable for that and it crochets and washes beautifully.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Made in Wonder Knit by Crown Crest this V-Stitch blanket is edged in cream DK</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are times when I want to learn a new set of stitches and I find that You Tube videos are an enormous help and a great teaching resource.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Intrigued by the Lotus Flower pattern I looked at the You Tube tutorial offered by <i>Hooked by Robin</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and tentatively started this version of the Lotus Blossom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's intricate and time consuming but I'm sure the finished result will be worth it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's still a work in progress.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use the scraps of wool which are left over from various projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Making granny squares is really easy and doesn't require much yarn to make a really lovely project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Edged in cream DK yarn, this blanket looks really pretty</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to crochet this lovely Virus Shawl pattern which I found on You Tube</div>

The yarn is a lovely blue, cream and brown mix and I think it is perfectly suited to this project.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Virus stitch is a bit tricky to start off but once you have completed the first few rounds, the pattern begins to make more sense and it really is a lovely project to complete.</div>

Due the softness of the yarn I think that the shawl drapes really nicely and is very soft to touch.</div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been asked to crochet a couple of baby blankets for a charity event in the summer, so I decided to stay with my favourite star shaped afghans which are so easy to do and they always look really pretty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both are crocheted in acrylic double knitting yarn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's one for a girl<br />
<br />

They look like five pointed star fish and once you get the first few rounds completed they are really easy to do and can be done in any size.<br />

Since there is always a need for an extra bag or two I decide to experiment with crochet string bags in different yarn thicknesses. These fold up into your handbag and hold more than you think, although they do STRETCH quite a bit !!<br />
<br />
<br />
The green bag is crocheted in Debbie Bliss Mia wool/cotton mix and the multi-coloured bag is crocheted in a thick variegated double knitting acrylic weight yarn,<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inspired by the square virus blanket I made in September I decided to make a shawl this time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It starts small..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And will grow as big as you want it too</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's still very much a work in progress but I was amused when I saw that the colours matched perfectly the book I was reading !</div>

It is crocheted in Patons Fab Double knitting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whilst perusing Facebook I came across some information about the use of Twiddlemuffs for people who suffer from dementia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mother has this awful disease so I decided to make one for her to try out and I'm pleased to say that she loves it and calls it her 'comforter'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is knitted by using 2 strands of double knitting wool on size 10 needles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I followed a pattern I found online at The Yarn Loop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a free pattern and you can find it <a href="http://www.theyarnloop.com/article/knit-for-dementia-patients-free-twiddlemuff-pattern" target="_blank">here</a></div>

I decided to make a lap blanket using all those funny little ends of wool that just end up in a box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's great to put waste wool to good use and it crochets really random which I rather like!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the way the colours blend together and as the yarn is used double thickness it makes the blanket really warm and cuddly.</div>
