Crochet Crazy

The weather here has been cold and snowy but my crochet hook has been burning up. I have finished another three lap/baby afghans and I will have them up for sale in my shop by the end of the day. This first one started out green and white but I decided to add some red and make it a Christmas blanket.

I am so pleased with the way it turned out.

This one has taken me forever to finish because I used small bits of different colored yarn left over from other projects. When the balls of yarn would get too small for the afghan I was working on I would just switch over to "Candy Stripes" and add a couple rows.

Candy Stripes has a weight to it, so warm.

Whew, looking at that photo is making my eyes hurt. ;0)

This last one I am calling "color block" because, well...it is made up with a rainbow of granny squares.

I surrounded each square with black and also connected them with black
to set off the amazing color.

Then the sweet thing started screaming for a rainbow border and I complied, what else could I do? ;0)

I get an enormous sense of accomplishment every time I finish an afghan and now that two of my cozy creations have sold, I have a new found drive to keep stitching and stocking my shop.
The moment I finished "color block" I started two more afghans. Two so when I get bored with one color scheme I can switch to the other. I need to change things up now and then or my fun becomes work and who likes work?

We won't be seeing the sun for several days and the bright yarn I use helps to cheer me up so maybe I will go get busy now.;0)

Hope you are getting a bit of sun.
