Lockdown Daily Challenge

 Kia ora koutou, 

For Wānanga I have put up a daily challenge. Different things that you might want to post about, and as part of that wānanga here is my contribution. 

Tuesday 24th August Daily Challenge - Post about a Hobby. 

My very recent hobby is crocheting. 

Crocheting is a form of knitting. But instead of using long needles, and having the wool staying on the needles, crocheting uses a hook to make chains and loops. 

I started crocheting because I have several siblings who will have children in the new year. A total of 3 new babies are coming. I though it might be really nice to make my new nieces/nephews some soft baby toys or blankets. 

I have started learning new stitches and made a few things for myself. As I wanted to make sure the things I make for the babies were good quality I started off by making a few things for myself, since I don't mind mistakes. 

I have started by making some squares of different stitches, and use them as face cloths as well as a large blanket for myself. Unfortunately I have run out of wool!! And since I can't go and get any more due to lockdown I will just have to wait until we can safely go to the shops. 

Here are some of the parts to my blanket below - work in progress. I absolutely
love the colours. 

I'm really enjoying it because I can put on a movie/TV series on while I'm doing it and just chill out.
