new year, new yarn, new stitch

Having bought some of this lovely acrylic yarn from Aldi yesterday, I couldn't resist diving into it at once. I haven't used a variegated yarn before, and I love how the colours change. I've been meaning to try corner to corner crochet for a while and it's very satisfying. Very easy, and works up quick - perfect for some slightly 'jaded' New Years Day sofa time.
Have also helped my 6 year old girl make some shoulder bags for cuddly toys - will post pictures tomorrow.
