crochet

I did it! I finally finished the afghan I’ve been working on for the past month. I think it turned out nicely and masculine for the man on my Christmas giving list. My daughter insists it’s for her “Uncle P” so we’ll have to see when all is said and done who it goes to. Oh, and thanks to my hubby for arranging all the squares. It was overwhelming for me after crocheting all those granny squares.

This is my latest project. It is really easy and I really like this unique stitch. The full pattern can be found at Marlo’s Crochet Corner. I am using Red Heart’s Cherry Chip and Off-White colours. Stunning.

I started to crochet a blanket for a girlfriend who is having a baby in the new year. Ava saw me working on it and told me, “Mommy make that for Ava.” I guess it’s for Ava now. It’s nice to know that she appreciates the homemade. She even tells people with pride that Mommy is making it for her. She also often reminds me (or confirms to herself) that the blanket is indeed for her. This is shown in the green and blue stripes but I am going with the white and yellow.
