I taught my daughter how to crochet....
I made these key ring ducks in different colors since everyone likes it and would love to have one by me..
I bought some lovely yarn. (believe me being in a yarn shop is the same as being in a quilt shop I'm drooling over the yarn, at the colors and the feel of it. I want to buy everything *sigh* I wish I wasn't that crafty and want to do it all!)
Well I choose a 100% alpaca wool from drops in a natural color. It feels so soft.
I want to make a small lap size blanket of it.
I will use this pattern. (click) For my english readers click here.
Though.. I'm not experienced with crocheting and there is a difference in the pattern and how it is crochet at the picture. The description of how to crochet the grannies together is minimal and I think it is for someone more experienced
I found out that I made a mistake and I have to crochet the last row of the pile (left hand at the picture) of grannies over....
But I'm still enthusiastic about it. It is so easy to pick up.
I will keep you up posted about my progress...

Watching crochet on a quilting blog is no problem for me.
I love this nature color. The advantage of this crochet pattern is that you can take it with you wherever you go. Wishing you lot of fun with this beautiful project.
I how I love the crochet blocks, and so nice in this light color!
It's not a problem to mix crochet and patch :) Both of them are so nice!
Il love these blocks and I'd like to make the same:)
I'll come back to see the end of this sweet project!
I love your work, it is beautiful. warm smiles Laura
what nice looking yarn
Gaaf Lucy, alleen een tip, haak ze meteen aan elkaar vast, dat scheelt een hele hoop werk en een hele hoop afwerkdraadjes...
Your yarn looks lovely. I picked up my crochet last week after years of not doing it and I'm really enjoying it.
Prachtig garen heb je gekozen en het patroontje ziet er ook mooi luchtig gehaakt uit zoals het op die manier aan elkaar gehaakt gaat worden.
Mijn dochter haakt ook sinds de kerstvakantie en ze heeft de smaak helemaal te pakken.
I have a cross-stitching blog and all I do (lately) is knit! And before that...quilt...so I'm going with...crafter extraordinaire :)
The wool is so beautiful, soft and the colour is gorgeous. This is going to be a lovely blanket. Your crochet is simply beautiful Lucy ...
oh Lucy these are so pretty!
I Love the soft natural look to this yarn.
ok that duck is just too adorable!
pink please :)

I love your quilts but I love crochet, too -- really any handcraft. I think a lot of us are like that :)
This is going to be beautiful, Lucy! I have a quilt blog but post about all kinds of other things, too, so I'm happy to see your variety. The yarn you chose looks so soft and wonderful!!! You're doing a beautiful job.
I quilt and crochet too. :-) It's nice to see others do a variety of crafty things!
This sounds such an interesting project.
Warmest regards,
Ruby
Hooray! I have loved your quilts and now I get to watch your progress and creations in crochet. Good luck!
When I started crocheting I found heaps of help & really good tutorials on Attic24 blog nice patterns too try there xx
The wool is such a dreamy color - love it! My blog covers quilting only when I'm not busy knitting, crocheting or doing cross-stitch or embroidery, so you are not alone in having a wandering eye for the needle arts.

Lucy this is to funny. You will laugh at the crochet afghan I just posted on my cross stitch sampler blog. I love all crafts.

These look beautiful! I'm sure the blanket will be lovely!
That is going to be a lovely blanket/quilt/afghan thing. Such tiny pieces.
Hi Lucy,
I'm making a "granny afghan" also but mine is made from acrylic. I've been working on the squares for 2 years and like you, I'm at a loss how to put them together. At one point I had to start all over again, when I discovered I'd used two different sizes of crochet hooks and the blocks didn't fit together!
Love your choice of alpaca yarn.
Gail
Wow....love the color and the design...this is going to be wonderful.
love the look of the yarn! Nice!
OK, that little key ring chick is adorable!
The little duck is so adorable! Is there a pattern for him? I've searched the internet and can't seem to find one.
Wonderful blog... and I find the more crafts I do, the more I get distracted by others... :) I consider it a healthy form of ADD LOL
