Original blanket


This is the first blanket I ever crocheted. I got the idea from a Cath Kidston blanket I had seen but couldn't afford...so I decided to make one myself. It consists of Granny squares. It now keeps guests warm in our spare bedroom!

Tom's blanket


There has been a baby boom amongst my friends and I! I enjoy making things for my family and friends. Here is a blanket I made for Tom, Colette and Shaun's lil' one!

Mischa's blanket


Here's a blanket I made for my friends Clare and Sturgess daughter Mischa, as soon as I found out it was a girl I frantically crocheted the flowers to make it more girly.

Baby blankets


I love the retro feel of Granny square crochet, it reminds me of my Grandma when I was younger. I didn't know what I was having when I was pregnant but knew I wanted the nursery to be fun, bright and cheerful. I thought these colours would work well either for a boy or a girl. Turns out I had a boy...Seth loves the blanket I made him and snuggles up to it at night.
