Afghans

One of my favorite hobbies is crocheting. I mostly do it at times I would otherwise be sitting with idle hands, such as when a passenger in the car, while watching films with DH, in meetings or visiting with people. I can even read to the girls and crochet at the same time. :) I've sold a few here and there and have given many more away.

I think this is one of my favorite baby afghans I've made so far.






It's crib cover/toddler bed size--about the same width and just slightly shorter than a crib mattress.

Here are some pictures on a lighter background:


(Wow, with yarn this soft it's hard to get it perfectly even when you lay it flat!)



I had made it for a friend who is having a baby, but it turns out she's having a boy so I think I'll sell this one and make him something else (maybe a sweater set) instead.

The patterns for all these are by Terry Kimbrough. I really like her designs.

Here's the blanket I made for our baby E. It's extremely soft. M, my 3-year-old, keeps trying to claim it for herself (even though she already has a much-beloved blanket I made for her).



I like the pineapple edging.



And here's the one I'm working on for my BIL/SIL due in November:



I'll probably put some kind of scalloped edging on it.

Right now I'm working on a baby sweater, too. I'll post pics of it when it's finished.

Here's one I made a few months ago (both doll and sweater are for sale).
