@Crazymadchickenlady is the santa pattern your own or did you buy it? Would love to try make one myself.

My daughter bought me the book Crochet Socks that Rock for Christmas (so I would make her a pair!!). I can definitely recommend the book.

@Ohitsatiara he is cute, im sure she will love it, my kids still have some amigurumi animals kicking about that i made them years ago, one of my first amigurumi i made was a little white cat (with pink legs and ears) for my DD it is terrible 😂 and looking rather tatty and sad now but she refuses to part with it 😂.

Edited

Love that she still has that cat.

We were walking round Sostrene Grene and saw the chocolate bar, think it was a keyring. Stupidly nanny said oh I could make that. Granddaughter said oh thanks nanny. Nanny bought a pattern from Etsy which was rubbish then worked out how to make it although looking at the photo I posted it seems I've cocked up one of the corners as they don't match. Guess what nanny is doing later.

I do that too 😂 the “i could make that” slips out and then your committed to making it for them or like my DD earlier today, comes in shows me a picture of some character and goes can you make me one? … err possibly, i will give it a go 😂.

Oh thanks @Avie29! I made them one after the other, not all at one go! It was a steady progression of pregnancy announcements, absolutely perfect for stash busting. I’ve made a decent dent in my stash, it’s been very satisfying. I might make a few random blanket & hat sets and just list them on Etsy, unless we get a new batch of pregnancies, I work in a big Radiology department, it’s a very female-based staff group, so it’s always possible!

I do have a short attention span, big projects are a real struggle to finish, so a pram blanket and hat is perfect, takes a week or two and it’s done and I can move on to the next one!

I love those baby blankets. I have a friend who makes matching baby blanket and hat sets.
I like to have something on the go, usually a blanket but I fancy a smaller project. May I ask what size you make the baby blankets? I've made plenty of adult hats so a baby one should be easy enough.

I tend to aim for pram/stroller size, small enough to work up quickly, but big enough to be useful for as long as the baby uses a pram or stroller.

I'm making an octagon cardigan. Shaped like a hexicardi but it's made in one piece. The only sewing is a tiny bit up the sleeve!

This is a pic from last week. It's almost finished now!

I'm crocheting a little beanie for my friend's new baby - due next week. Really struggling to know if it's the correct size, don't want it too small, at least if it was too big it could be grown into. Does anyone know if you measure it flat or stretched a bit??

Measure it flat, so that it’s got the ability to stretch. Are you using a stretchy stitch?

I have two hexi cardis on the go. These are cropped and with three quarter sleeves (pic of last one I made). I ran out of yarn with both though so ones on hold the other I’ve just received the yarn. I really need to stick to my vow that I’ll only buy yarn when I know what project I’m going to use it for! But also it’s really hard to know how much yarn a new project will take!

Oh no! I've had an email from Sirdar about a Harry Potter blanket CAL. I've given myself 100 lines. I must not sign up. I must not sign up. Well at least until I've seen the blanket 😁
