Learning a new skill

I have been seeing crochet blankets everywhere at the moment and thought it would be great to have one on my sewing room sofa.
I have never crocheted before so decided to take a class on craftsy. It was fantastic and so helpful and informative taking time to show the stitches in detail and slowly.
I made a couple of little pieces to get used to each stitch and now I am working on something bigger-my blanket.



I decided to make it all one big granny square so that I didn't have to join squares together yet although I fully intend on making more complicated projects later.
For now I love it and am really enjoying learning something new. Plus it's great to have a basket besides the sofa which I can delve into if I have 5 minutes spare
