Crocheting in the Car

I now have a new blog address.

I started another cot blanket for a new baby boy during the Easter holidays. Having whizzed through it while we had our tour of the country to see family, progress has slowed now that we are back into the routines of school and all the running around that involves.

Here are some pictures of me crocheting while driving in various positions in the car. I had not realised what a great place it is to crochet until I started doing it when I was making the Rainbow Striped Blanket. All that time where I would be sat doing not very much used in a productive way. Very satisfying.

This blanket started as a heart blanket like Mary Ann Frits I Love Scraps Afghan which is such a lovely pattern but it seemed not quite boyish or robust enough some how. Inspired by Little Woolies beautiful mixed stripe blanket, I decided to make a blanket with the bobble stripes and then rows of treble and double crochet so that it was a bit speedier to make.

I am hoping to be finished by the end of this week (as long as I have time to sew in all those dreaded ends!) so watch this space...
