Resting up in bed, watching lots of TV my hands were itching, so I started on some more crochet blocks from this book: 
Traditional Granny – a block I’d already started in a bigger needle, but decided to follow the pattern in the book instead ;)
Into the Blue - Feeling chuffed with my earlier effort and impressed that I have somehow managed to make my crochet look neater, I moved on to a harder (for me) block:
Sunray - Still impressed, even though my 2 blocks weren’t quite the same size (whoops) I whipped up this one:
Coffee & Cream – inspired by the previous block, I decided on this one:
After this little bout of crocheting, I can now confidently say I am now acing both the treble (TC) and double crochet (DC). I have also learnt to adequately Half treble crochet (HTC) and have done at least one double treble crochet (DTC)
A mere 12 months ago, I couldn’t even chain on ~ now I’m working stitches like the pro’s ;)

They are amazing squares!!! You are inspiring me... QUIT IT!! :) Perhaps a skill for 2011 to learn?
Oh I love Coffee and Cream. You'll have an awesome crocheted throw rug by the end of your bed rest :-) Hope you are feeling ok!
Love the last one Car! Hope your feeling better!
You show off! One of these days I will blog my crochet, because you deserve a laugh!!
(gosh I am sooo behind!)
Is this a good book? It has been on my wishlist on Book Depository for ages but since I can't crochet (yet) I have been hesitating...
