I know. I have been cooking a lot and you think I haven't been crafty. Well you are wrong. Here is what I have been making. Blankets. For babies. Lots of babies = lots of blankets! Here is a ripple blanket I made for Angela's gorgeous baby boy Luka. And a ripple blanket I am making with a friend for another baby (it is growing!) And a Larks Foot blanket that I am making for another baby. And there are even more blankets on the way! Wowee. You can find out how to make a ripple blanket via Lucy. And the Larks Foot pattern can be found here and here and here too! So if you would like to, you can make these too!
You know, sometimes I feel like there is a bit of pressure to document religiously on blogs, to show every little thing you are doing, to post tutorials all the time.. or funked up galleries of things we want to buy. Do you know what I mean?! Sometimes it feels like that. Personally, I think it is okay to just write about what you feel like writing about. Or even just post images. I like a blog which is not always on show, ya know? In fact I like a blog which is a big colourful paste-up of real life, and UN-apologetically so (edit : sorry - ironically I left the UN off there when I first posted this!!) But that's just me. You might feel completely differently!
Crafty as I am, lately I feel like writing about food. I know. I am ca-raaa-zzzy! Perhaps I am hungry. I think I am. Anyway, cooking is what I am blogging a lot about at the moment. I want to improve my photographic skills, and blogging about food is a good way to do that. I also think it comes from spending months and months writing and making this book. I'm having a little bit of a rest from tutorials and the like. Just for the mo.
I am still crocheting like a demon in most every spare moment... And I am doing some sewing too. I just know that you don't need me to prattle on about that all the time, right?! It's nice to not show off all the time. And it's nice to have a bit of variation, isn't it?! Never fear, I will still show you the growing collection of baby blankies, as they are coming along! And some sewing a bit further down the track too.
But what about you? Are you sewing? Are you hooking? Have you made a blanket? Do you feel a bit like a blogging show pony sometimes? Are you hungry?
