Colourful crocheted blanket.

I was asked to crochet a blanket for a little girl's bed....this is what I came up with.

Crocheted wheaten scottie dog

My son and daughter in law have a black scottie and a wheaten scottie and so I thiught I would have a go at crocheting a wheaten one with some spare cream arran wool.

I'm very pleased with the result.....I made it up as I went along, but didn't write the pattern down as I was doing it! Now I wish that I had!

Knitting & crochet

Here, as promised, is the Aran cardigan that I made for myself. I like it so much that I am going to make myself another one in beige, but this time I shall add pockets. I had some wool left over and so I knitted my little great-nephew an Aran jumper with it. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to his mum!

I had a lot of ends of cones of wool and decided, while I was waiting to buy the wool for my beige cardigan, I would crochet some squares and make a little bed/lap cover for my dear old mum! I  made 5 squares of 7 different colour combinations and tried to put the squares together in a continuous pattern. I also made 3 different variations of square pattern, just to make it a little more interesting. I only had enough of 3 colours to do the edging, but I think it worked out quite nicely!
