Crocheting Mood


I thought I would share the pic of the afghan I made for my daughter for Christmas. She doesn't read my blog so I don't have to worry about her seeing it. Its not a really clear picture but at least you can see what it looks like. Its made from 40 crocheted blocks. I really enjoyed making this. It went pretty quickly. Since I work the midnight shift I was able to work on it at work. I had a lot of compliments on it from people at work and a couple wanted to know if they could have it. I am working on another one for my granddaughter for Christmas. I had her pick out the yarn because I know I would have gotten it all wrong. Teenagers can be so hard to please at times. She wanted one done in pink, green and orange neon colors. She settled on blue instead of orange because she couldn't find one that she liked. I am doing it in a seed pattern and also doing them in squares. It will be 6sq X 12sq. She can't have it till Christmas though. I really enjoy crocheting and knitting. I also made a fluffy eyelash yarn scarf for my mother. I forgot to take a pic of it before I gave it to her. She bought the yarn and asked me to make it to match her new coat. It really turned out nice. Those scarves are not the warmest but they sure can brighten up your wardrobe. My mother made me a couple of wreaths for my living room and one for the outside of the house. When I get the pics uploaded from my camera I will post those. I am trying to rearrange my house and pick up things as I see them to give my home a more county look. I have lots of things already I just need to use them correctly. It all takes time.
