Upgrade and hook update


The crochet alongs are moving along ... so much so that I've had to replace my take along bag from my canvas library bag to a much larger one as I now am carting two afghans and a hotpad.  In my true crochet addiction I had to put in a few more skeins of yarn just in case ... I always have to have enough with me!  Yes, I know, silly isn't it.   However, I do get more done this way and is a such a good way to use idle time.

Started the snowflake hotpad last night ... it goes up very quickly, now just have to crochet the pieces together.  There will be several of these made.  And yes, there will be an afghan to follow.  I just love how this looks and I think will be a wonderful throw to wrap up in come the winter months.

Several squares are completed for the Sarafia Blanket. 

 

 

And did I tell you I'm always looking for another project, another ghan ...
Check out this gorgeous bag made byLovestitch at Stitch of Love


I have already added the pattern to my tote to be maybe the next project and although I love the bag this will be another ghan.  Quite possibly the same color scheme as well.  I think the coloring is amazing.

Well, that's what new for the crochet front at my place.  Ohhhh, I just spotted two round ripples peaking out at me ... have to work them into the mix as well.  They are close to being done.  One is for the grandpumpkin and the other is one to have on hand.  They'll be worked on in between the above projects and completed come Fall.

Have a good day ...
 keep those hooks humming!

  6. Hmmm...am wondering...may I join in your CAL? I bought yarn yest. to make an afghan for my son for Christmas. Although....even though I do blog, I won't be able to post my progress on my blog for fear he somehow accidentally stumbles upon my posts about his afghan. He's been wanting a camo afghan "forever", and since he just bought his own place I thought now would be a good time to make him one...and it would be a great Christmas present. :)

  10. I'm like you; I have multiple projects in all my bags so I always have a selection of things to work on when a spare moment rolls along. I must confess, though, your bags are so much prettier than my brown paper bags! And the handles tear off mine when I put too much in them!

    I really love your snowflake hotpads. But I'll guess you already knew that.
