Guessing Game Answer

A ball of rainbow coloured yarn on the right hand side with two small samples linked to it by a dark section of yarn. The largest sample starts with light blue to green to yellow horizontal striped ribbing above which are two rows of broomstick eyelets in light blue and dark blue. Following on from that sample, attached by a length of dark yarn, a sample of darkest blue post stitch ribbing. The crochet hook is still inserted into the active loop at the top of the dark sample. The hook is powdercoated aluminium with a red plastic handle. There is a white label attached with the size '2.50 mm' printed on the label. The size '2.5 mm' is also embossed on the side of the red handle in fine white lettering.

Did you guess what I was crocheting with those circular knitting needles?

If you think this blanket looks cute …


A square baby blanket comprised of 9 squares, all white except for the centre square which is yellow. Each square has a blue border and a tan teddy bear face in the middle. The teddies have three dimensional ears stitched onto the surface of the blanket.
