For some time now I have been busy working on a multi-coloured crochet baby blanket for friends who have recently had a little baby boy. I made granny squares then sewed them together.

It was my Mum’s birthday recently and I crocheted her a teacosy which I have already written about here. I also crocheted her a granny square dish cloth using blue and white cotton yarn. I was easy and quick and she really like it. I think I will make a few for myself.
