Hi Jessie, I recently got back into crochet after a gap of around 30 years. It was the imminent grandchild that spurred me on! (He has arrived now and is, predictably, gorgeous.) I made a pram-sized baby blanket and a snail. Yep, that's right, a snail. He's quite cute, actually. I'll put photos in the gallery.
I had some help from other TSF crocheters with patterns and also found the 'Love Crochet' site, which has a lot of patterns available, some free, some not.
Looking forward to seeing the results!
