Projects

I am having great fun with the Crochet Along Project, learning new stitches.

Someday there may be enough squares to make an afghan.

I need more solid squares...I will work on them in the next few days before the next design is released.

I also had a little bit of time to work on knitting on my socks.  Soon I may have a finished pair to photograph!

My other baby brother stopped by.  I gave him the wood carving I finished for him.

It is a wood carving of a Fireman, my other baby brother was a Fireman for many years.  He liked it!

  1. You are so talented!!! That fireman is awesome...you did a beautiful job on him! Your blanket squares are so pretty! Did you use a green for the border? I love it! You are far ahead of me. Someone asked how many more I had to go and I said I have no idea! LOL! One step at a time! It is fun and I agree...I have learned a lot by crocheting these various squares. I am a better crocheter than I was because of it. So glad you posted a picture of your squares. Did you use worsted yarn? I should have as the DK is a little flimsy. I haven't touched my socks...good for you! You motivate me! Unfortunately I got the quilting urge this week so off I go on another tangent! LOL! Have a great weekend!

  18. I like the fireman. Your granny squares are really bright and cheerful. With long winters of white a lot of color is needed.
