Great jumper. :)

Done a bit more on my corner to corner (c2c) blanket this evening. Using up what's left of my aran weight yarn, doesn't matter how much I've got left or where a ball ends, it's where the next one starts. Very easy crochet.

C2C is just increasing until its the required width then either decreasing to make it square or doing an alternate decrease/increase until a full decrease to make a rectangle.

in the comments section there's a link to her normal c2c square so you can see how it's done from the start. :)

I have too much yarn!

But I’v been looking on Etsy and I’m shocked at the prices of hand knitted items so I may just get knitting more!!

£20+ for socks?!?!
