Two finishes for OPAM....





I've been a bit quiet on the bloggy front as I've just been given my first assignment for this term and I've been doing a bit of research and book reading but you know me I can't just forget about my craft for too long and decided I needed a break .I picked up my crochet hook and some leftover balls of wool and made up these two little baby beanies for my new great-neice who was born premmie a few weeks ago ( weighing a huge 820gms ) I'm also planning on making up a couple of crocheted jackets but I'm still trying to source out some premmie crochet ones so if anyone has some great sites they could link for me in their comments I'd really appreciate it :)

I also finished working on these two BOM blocks for July just in time for the August blocks to be put out....I'm loving the simplicity of working with just one thread colour.

I've also been putttering along with my cream and pink crocheted blanket and just have 5 more balls to work with till I can say it's finished.I'll post a progress update photo as soon as I can just to let you see how much it's grown since my last post about it.
