Hooking again

It's been a while since the crochet hook has been out. I'm itching to start a big crochet project to make a throw or blanket but I'm determined to finish the crochet projects that I started last year before starting anything else.  I have a half finished scarf and some blocks that were originally going to be a throw but  my idea didn't pan out so are now going to be a cushion.

I'm still such a beginner when it comes to crochet, although my confidence is building I still have to refer to instructions every step of the way......

... but slowly I'm getting there and the pile of blocks is growing.  I'm almost half way through, I'm making 16 blocks altogether 7 are made and the pile is getting bigger every day.
