Crocheted blankets.

My mum crocheted my brother a blanket years ago. It was done all in squares I remember at a very early age seeing her make this blanket. Scott had blankets that were crotcheted by my Nan they were big large heavy oval type blankets they were very heavy and were very warm. Years ago I use to make crocheted blankets and thread ribbons in them for baby's cribs. I still have a crotcheted blanket that I did it was never finished. I started it when I was bout 13 I can remember certain wool from certain things. If my mum sent something with wool tied as a ribbon or something i would crotchet that in trying to never forget that she had sent us something. If you go into an Antique shop or flea market or even charity shop you will more than likely find a crotcheted blanket. Think for a moment what memories that blanket might hold or what new ones you could give it. Take it home embroder flowers on it or put ribbon through it give it a new lease on life. It's amazing how simple things can all of sudden look like new. Or make one they are not that hard and as you crotchet you are keeping your lap warm during the winter.
