^{How about making a Matching Crochet Baby blanket to go with this gorgeous Cardigan}

Whilst I do not claim to be a professional crochet designer I am a crochet hobbyist and addict, crochet is my passion. I love to experiment and come up with crochet designs, that I posted on my Facebook Page, which then got shared around, thus leading to people contacting me and asking to help them or if I have a pattern for them. I spent more time via emails and face book answering questions about my work, I decided to create this blog to help inspire and help others to create beautiful crocheted pieces of work. So sometimes the patterns will be written as how I have made and understood and interpreted them. Sometimes I may even make something, not take notes and need to go back and work out what i did.

As Always I welcome any constructive feedback.
