This is a mobile I made for my new niece in Australia. I didn't get I photo of it before hand so this was taken after it arrived (it looks a little squashed after it's long trip).<br />
For the crochet birds I used a pattern from a Japanese Craft Book called the<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/101436144/new-collection-amigurumi-japanese-craft"> 'new collection amigurumi'</a> which I got my hands on via etsy. I've since seen lots of similar pattern books free online (in Picasa Web Albums) like this one <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/violeta726/Handmade_knit?noredirect=1">(link)</a> which looks very cute too. Also have a look at this album in Pinterest <a href="http://pinterest.com/panjit/amigurumi/">(link)</a> it's full of good links.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway over the last two years (in my spare moments) I've been working on a few crochet projects that I've posted on my Facebook page and I thought that it was about time I posted them here too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Firstly a big crochet blanket that I made for a friends wedding present, that was inspired by a blanket by <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/">Attic24</a>.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been back in Madrid for almost two weeks now from a month long winter/ summer break in Australia, but haven't yet had a chance to get back to my blog. I think this year is going to be a bit like this in general, between study (until the end of April) and the baby (due the beginning of May), but I will try and stop in occasionally to add any new patterns/ cool crochet things I come across and also show you any little things I'm working on ... I also have a long over due giveaway coming very soon!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Above are some images from a website I came across this week.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The brand is call <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/">Free People</a> and they have some gorgeous things, including I few crochet numbers :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm guessing they're not made by hand as they would be priceless!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm not sure why I always seem to have this problem?

It's like learning a completely new language, which is taught in a relatively new language (Spanish) ... so I think it's going to demand a fair amount of my time over the next 5 months.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll still be popping in here now and again to show you what I'm working on (I've already started on my next blanket ) and to post any good crochet patterns I come across.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
