My first crochet blanket finished (25 squares). A lot of love and time has gone into making this, and lots of remembering my Nanna Garland, who used to knit and crochet a lot of special things for me and her other grandchildren. I was initially making these crochet squares in order to make a bed blanket for myself. Then a friend at work who is a member of the Zonta women's club told me that her club was knitting baby blankets to give to refugee/migrant women in Adelaide with young babies.
I decided to make the crochet squares into a baby blanket for the Zonta club to give to a migrant or refugee woman in Adelaide. I know my blanket is far from perfect, but it is the first time I have crocheted anything, and I put a lot of love into it, it's actually quite hard to part with, and I really hope it makes the woman who receives it and her baby happy :-) and makes them feel more welcome in Australia.
