UPDATED FEB 2018
This Winter I picked up my crochet hook for the first time in a few years and I found it really soothing. So as we go into Spring I’m thinking about projects for next Winter. Maybe if I start early…

{gorgeous shawl made using a huge hook}
{Love the colours in these hexagons – maybe my next blanket?}
UPDATE: The source for these hexagons has vanished from the web and I cannot find it! But here are the hexagons that I made and the link to the Ravelry pattern.
{something cute for my Little Miss}
{something with rainbow colours – nice bright one like this!}
{I suspect this one might be beyond my skills but isn’t it lovely?}
Do you plan projects ahead of the season you want them? Or leave them to the last minute like me?
I think I’ve spotted some knitting projects too – check them out here.

I love that Rainbow blanket, so bright and cheery, just what you need on a cold Winter’s day! Great choices.
Thanks Christie. I’m thinking I’ll try the shawl first so I bought a huge crochet hook yesterday.
Hello again!
Wanted to let you know I have made that kids poncho and it is pretty easy and cute (you can find it on my blog under ‘yarn’). Would love to make another one as it was a gift. Like you I also find that I make something and once it’s finished I want to do it all over again! Being a blogger though it’s better for me to try something new. I am also working on a ripple blanket made up of rainbow colours. I can’t remember when I started (probably a good thing) but it was so long ago they don’t even sell the yarn at Spotlight anymore. Only 8 more bands of colour to go! So near but yet so far. I keep finding more exciting projects to start!!
PS thanks again for your comment yesterday. It’s all fixed now!
My biggest problem is finding newer more exciting projects I want to try, so I understand the unfinished ripple blanket. I started a second smaller one but I’ve already put it aside in favour of a shawl.
PS Glad to help
I would love the pattern for the Rainbow Blanket? with the granny squares at the ends of the rows. When I click the photo, all I get is the photo. It is lovely and bright… could I please have the pattern? Thank you, sean.
Hi Sean,
I didn’t make that one. It was made by a very clever lady called Ria who sells crochet items on her Etsy store. Originally there was a pattern but it is no longer there so I suggest you try to ask her via her Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/handmadebyria
I hope that helps,
Tonya
Would you please share the pattern for the hexagon granny? Hoping to make my MIL an afghan for Christmas (2017) and another or a friend using this pattern. I’m sure more experienced folks could figure it out but I’m still a beginner/novice. Tia
