FFO!

Finally Finished Object!

It's taken at least a year and a half, but I finally finished the Granny's Daughter afghan I have been making for Jalen's room.

(note: this picture is supposed to be sideways, the program keeps flipping it)

She was so excited that the main part of the afghan was finally finished that it took a little convincing for her to allow me to put the scalloped border on each end. I think she was afraid it would take me another month to finish!

60 Scarves in 60 Days UPDATE

The 60 Scarves in 60 Days challenge started on September 1st. I committed to making 6 scarves, however, by September 15th I had the 7 scarves below finished. I have since finished one more, though I haven't taken a picture of it.

I found a great way to use up leftover stash yarn and make scarves quickly! Four strands of yarn in complimenting colors and a huge crochet hook! Genius!

I thought I was finished making scarves, but then I received an email about Special Olympics scarves, so here I go again. This year's colors are Red Heart's Blue and Turqua. I'm hoping to get three more scarves made out of the yarn shown below:

Double duty: more scarves to add to my 60 scarves in 60 days challenge that will be donated to the Special Olympics!

Bernat Mystery Crochet Along!

The Bernat Mystery Crochet Along began on September 22nd. The afghan is being constructed of Bernat's Softee Chunky yarn. I wasn't feeling very original when I purchased my yarn and opted to use the colors recommended by Bernat. They sure are pretty though, and will make a stunning afghan once completed.

Clockwise from the top left: Fern, Topaz, Forest, Natural and Lavender.

Each Wednesday a new clue is unveiled. So far, there have been three weeks of clues.

We began with a simple sc, dc square. Next was a granny square. Last week's clue was a V-stitch pattern. Each week the patterns get a little more complicated. I'm really enjoying this "mystery" because sampler afghans are one of my favorite projects...and not knowing what's coming next makes me look forward to each new clue!
