How about this for colour! Sure to brighten up anyone's day. If you have been following me on instagram (@marelizeries) you would have seen an overload of crochet squares these past few days.
Heike from Made with loops is hosting a 'homely blanket crochet along' on her blog, where she comes up with a design for a square each week. It looked like so much fun and I've always wanted to learn how to crochet.
So with a quick look at some videos on youtube, learning how to make the different types of stitches, I quickly jumped in.
Some have proven to be quite tricky, especially since I am reading the instructions instead of having someone show me. Its at times like these that I miss having my Mom close by, she is sooo good at crocheting that I if she was sitting next to me, helping me along, it would have gone a lot more faster. But I have exceeded my expectations and have only two to make and I'll be up to date.
I think that once this crochet along has come to an end, I will choose my absolute favorite out of them all and make a large blanket with just the one square using different colour layouts.
