Well the weekend just gone I went on a weekend crafting retreat (will post more about this later today) and I found some time between laughing, eating and showing others how to do stuff to make my first crochet hexagon. It worked! Yay for me LOL
So I came home on Sunday and decided that this week I would do nothing but crochet, so far so good (who said housework needed to be done regulary) hehe. This is what I had made as of yesterday afternoon.
I've added a few more hexagons since then, so now my knees are nice and warm while I am working on it. In theory as they days get colder, my blankie will get bigger so more of me will me warm. God I'm a dork LOL
I'm following Lucy's fabulous tutorial over at Attic 24. Check out the rest of her blog while you are there, it is stunning.
If you want to see what other crafty lovelies have been up to, head on over to Kirsty's for a peek.

Good on you for getting your priorities right! The housework will always be there needing to be done – but it brings such short term satisfaction. This beautiful blanket will be part of the rest of your life and will bring you so much joy. It’s looking fabulous already.
