Finished Item - Crochet c2c Scrapghan

Yay I finally managed to sew in all of those horrid ends of yarn from all of the colour changes I had done during the making of this scrapghan.

I love how it turned out but I really dislike having to sew in all the ends. I probably should have sewn them in as I went along but I didn't just in case I made a mistake and needed to pull it apart, which I had done earlier on in the blanket. When I sew ends in I do it so they never come out.


Anyway, it is complete and it looks amazing!! Although I do wonder if I should place a border around it. It edges do look 'finished' but perhaps a border might make it look better. I was thinking perhaps a navy blue. I may just leave it as it is.


Now I need to work out what I am making next ...

WIP - Crochet - c2c Heart Squares

I have decided to make another corner to corner blanket. This time it will be with little squares. Some plain and some with hearts in them. I thought it might be a great way to use up some of my smaller yarn scraps. All of those leftovers/scraps from the applique blankets I have made.


I showed Brodie the first square that I made. He promptly turned it over and made fighter pilot noises .. 'pew, pew, pew and said "Look Mum space invaders!"
Yup that's my boy! He's right. It does look like the ship from the Space Invaders game.


**Edit: I don't know what went wrong but I tried making some more squares. I guess I got distracted by the dvd that Brodie and I were watching but I made quite a few mistakes. I may put this in the WIP pile and come back to it another time. I still want to make a few more blankets for the Mums to be at Church. Now to work out what blanket pattern to try instead...
