A while ago I came across a photo of a flowery blanket on Twitter. I loved the colours and how the flowers stood out from the blanket. I think knitting will always be my favourite but I do love the extra things you can do with crochet like a flower which sticks out (see my first attempt above).
Later I found out the blanket I had seen was Janie Crows latest design and I was lucky enough to see it in the flesh at the Knitting and Stitching Show. Wow I wanted it, but it said 'not for beginners' and I still feel like a beginner although I've been crocheting for nearly a year now. But then a couple of weeks ago I tried making the square above with a flower in and it worked and it looks nice and maybe I'm not a beginner any more.

So I decided to get the kit and see. It is actually a 'crochet along', which means the pattern for each bit are released in 8 fortnightly instalments over 4 months, with the first one out today. I've got my pack of wool and all my tools, now I just need to have a go. Wish me luck!
