I also did lots of crochet gifts this year. I recently taught myself how to crochet (thanks to EllipticalArtsy for the tips) so here's a compilation
Starting with my first ever project, this little chick. Apparently that gave me the confidence to make two blankets back to back... I don't know what part of me thought that was a good idea but they turned out perfect and so cosy!
I was very proud of the autumnal scarf and my little duck teddy.
I even wrote my own pattern for a red footed tortoise for one of my lecturers because I like to make life difficult for myself. Fair to say I'm loving crochet and have even agreed to make a custom blanket for my sister who was jealous she didn't get one. I finally understand why crocheters struggle to price their pieces, the yarn for one blanket is around £60, then the fabric and time added... I doubt I'll be selling crochet items any time soon but they're fun to make
