Crochet WIP Green Afghan

I have one more square to crochet before I am ready to start crocheting these squares together.
On Facebook I saw an afghan done in black and white (CLICK HERE)
I really liked the black and white but I only had shades of green Stylecraft yarn.  With only 3 squares left to do I ran out of Stylecraft yarn but I found some Caron Simply Soft to work with.  The 2 squares on the right hand side with the pale green outer border use the Simply Soft green and I had to leave out another shade of green - I have one more "off" square to make.  I don't think it's too noticeable and I think the 3 different squares will be put in 3 of the corners so maybe they won't stand out too much.
There is a free pattern for the square so CLICK HERE if you want to try making one.  Scroll down to the "Etched Copper Afghan"
I used 2 rows of 5 different colors of yarn in each square until I ran out of yarn.

The last 3 different squares only have 4 colors of yarn - starting in the center I crocheted
3 rows COLOR A
2 rows COLOR B
2 rows COLOR C
3 rows COLOR D

Finished Baby Afghan

This is the last of the Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in Spumoni.  I used the moss stitch, or linen stitch which is such a relaxing way to crochet during football games.
I don't know what will be next but there are plenty of UFOs to work on.  That usually means I will want to start something new.
Happy days of stitching for the rest of the month to all

Quilting Finishes

I made these 2 jar quilt tops about 5 years ago.   I am so pleased that they are finally finished into quilts.  I forgot to get pictures of them before they were given to my granddaughters but my daughter kindly sent me pictures of the quilts.

I received thank you cards and it reminded me that I had not posted the pictures on my blog, yet.

Have a very merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

Baby Afghan Finish

I saw a youtube video to crochet Fiber spiders Which-Way Filet Blanket here
It's a great repeating pattern to do while watching football.  I used the Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn in Spumoni that was used for my last finish.
Happy upcoming Turkey Day.

Lady of the Flag WIP

Oh my, this is a dark photo.  As you can see there is not a remarkable bit of progress.  It's a busy time of year so I am pleased that there is any stitching added.
Mostly housework is on schedule for today and then I have a very old quilt top that I want to sandwich, quilt and bind so next week's stitching may be even less.
Here  is a picture of the top that is speaking to me lately.  It's been saying "Surely it's time for me to be finished now" for so long I just can't continue to ignore it.
Happy stitch days

A Finish and a WIP

I finished crocheting the baby blanket with bubbles that I started so long ago.  Click here to see where I found the pattern.  This is only 30 inches square but it is very cuddly so I hope my daughter will find someone to love it.

There has been a little bit of progress on Lady of the Flag but there is much left to do.

Happy days of stitching to all

LOTF progress

It doesn't look like very much progress so I have decided to forego most of my household chores so I can stitch a bit more this coming week. 
I confess I tend to lose my place easier when I am watching baseball so I did crochet an old wip during the games.
Happy Labor Day weekend to everyone celebrating this weekend.

lady of the flag wip

This is making my heart sing even though like most of my projects it is taking much longer than I thought it would.
I did do some crocheting for a few hours this week but only because an old wip caught my eye one day so I spent my play time working on it.  I like to watch the Diamondbacks baseball games but this particular day it was not on tv but only on youtube.  Rather than move my cross stitching project from the tv room to my play room for the game I decided to crochet while I watched baseball on my computer - it just seemed easier to crochet in my play room where the computer is located.
Find time to make some happy stitches this week.

WIP Lady Of The Flag

I finished the Lady's face and I think she is so pretty.
I hope I can do a lot of stitching in the next week.
I can't believe how many beautiful (and new to me) crocheted afghan patterns I have seen in the last week, but I am determined to finish this before I pick up a crochet hook.
Happy stitching

WIP LOTF

I had a couple of visits from the frog this week but everything is ready to move forward now.
Have a great week of stitching!
