Keeping Cosy

You may remember a while ago that I crocheted this blanket for my good friend's new baby.

So in true Attic24 style, here's some photos of Adam and his treasured blankie.

Adam loves getting cosy under his blanket; mum says he stares at the pattern and touches it, showing a great deal of interest. Mum and dad like the blanket too as it's a bit heavier than his other ones so he can't kick this one off and get chilly toes.

The cold winter weather is just starting to bite and I could do with a cosy, handmade blanket for myself. I really enjoyed making this cover as the individual crocheted squares are so portable and quick to do; I'd love to make a bright and cheery one (aka Attic24 again - love the style and colour hit!) Maybe that's a job for after the Christmas fairs though...

Ice Cream Baby Blanket

I've been crocheting some more little squares.

Lots of little squares in pretty ice cream colours.

I really enjoyed making the blanket for my friend's new baby and the new parents loved it too, so I thought that I'd make some more in different colourways and sell them in my Folksy shop.

I've chosen these colours with a baby girl in mind - soft pink and lilac, and fresh white.

I'm undecided as to what pattern combination to use though.

Concentric squares? Stripes? Diagonals?

I've nearly finished all of the squares now so I better make up my mind soon. At the minute I like the diagonal stripes - but I'd love to know what you think.
