It's been a while since I updated this blog but I've been busy with work and family the last few years and not really done much crafting at all. In 2014 alone I changed jobs twice (to avoid redundancy!), one daughter had a baby and another daughter got married!
I'm now getting back into my crafting - crochet, cross stitch and now learning knitting!
I have a few things on the go at the moment but trying to stick to smaller projects I can finish within a few weeks.
I finished a crochet project today for my 12month grandaughter Evelyn. A mini minion blankie! I found this pattern while looking through Pinterest and was looking for something small to start with. It's been a long time since I did any crochet and not much more than granny square blankets so it was good to be able to see this coming together. I added an extra row of yellow in the blanket to make it a little bigger and used a smaller hook to make the eye as the first one I made was too big for the head! I think I may have used a tighter tension when making the head so it came out smaller than it should be.
Thank you to Shell from Mamma That Makes for the free pattern. There are so many others on her blog that I can't wait to make!
