So a whole month has passed, and I still haven't posted anything of Eve's first birthday. But I will!! My sister did a family photo shoot and I have to say, she did a smashing job. I can't wait to show you.
In the meantime, here is one of Eve's first birthday presents that I made for her. I used a pattern for the squares from a Mollie Makes magazine and then grannied around until it seemed done. I took the idea from Tif of Dottie Angel who is an endless source of crochet inspiration. I can't find the exact post right now, but it is in there somewhere!
Because I get extremely itchy and rashy when I crochet with wool, this is a washable acrylic yarn, which, on the bright side is nice and hardy for being dragged around by the unstoppable Eve!
I loved making this blanket for my littlest one. I have plans for more, I'm sure Caleb and Jemima are due for another one?
I have been making quite a lot of stuff lately, but have fallen off the blog bandwagon. I hope to climb back on somehow.

omg, I can't believe she is one already. I love her blankie. You did a great job. Looking forward to the birthday pics.
I love the colours.
Great crochet. I'm itching to start crocheting a blanket (but yet to learn how to crochet). What a lovely gift for Eve - one already?! Well I guess Susannah is 5 months. Gulp.
I've fallen off the bloggy bandwagon too... but still crafting!
Oh that blanket is wonderful. A treasure for your darling babe. Lovely.
phWhat a beautiful blanket! Happy belated birthday to Eve! Jessica
