Woke up this morning pretty happy and have had a very productive day at work.
I brought my blanket in to show my friends and they were really impressed, it made my day, I thought with it being my first piece it was pretty amateur but apparently it was very good. So that has cheered me up no end :)
Ooops I just found a couple of books on Amazon on crochet, couldn't decide between them so there is £20 spent! Oh well, they have hundreds of squares and patterns in them and so I shall be able to design my own afghans soon.
Making a blanket is so personal and so lovely you can be really proud of your work when you have finished and you have something practical and very pretty to show off in your home. I have an idea for my next piece I shall try out making different squares but in the same colours and patchwork them together. The best thing about it is that even if you follow a pattern, your piece is unique :)
