I guess the title of this post should simply be 'more, more, more' - more crocheted afghan and more stitcheries. Over the weekend I completed the third mile-a-minute afghan; this one longer than the other two because our son is tall and I wanted it long enough to cover him if he wanted to be cozy.
Here's a close-up of the pattern - certainly an easy-peasy one to do and it works up quickly.
And....three more little stitcheries have been added to the growing pile (I think there's only 8 more to go)...
Today's quote..."If there is no randomness in the universe, then what do we mean by chaos?"
I love the simplicity of the stripes in that recent afghan. And Mary Anne, I need to tell you again how much I like that quilted picture in your header. I was compelled to study the flowers in the foreground a bit today before scrolling down to read your post. Such beautiful detail.
ReplyDeleteAwww - thank you Becki! These afghans are so much fun to make - and they're a no-brainer to do sitting in front of the tv or while I'm video chatting with my friends.
DeleteYour afghan pattern is pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric tea cup, I can see a practical joke waiting to happen. lol
The quilt pattern! I love that, and it looks uncomplicated from my brain.
Thank you for more great links
Glad you enjoy the links - I have fun searching for them. I don't know if my obsession with this afghan pattern will end anytime soon but for now I have another one in the works and I think that will be it.
DeleteYou're so productive. Are you planning on a fabric teacup in your Christmas box o' gifts? It's fun.
ReplyDeleteNo, I hadn't planned a teacup for the Christmas box - but now you're planted the thought, I might be tempted.
DeletePretty Afghan--my friend Dawn just finished a Mile-a-Minute scarf that came out so pretty... ("Relaxing Robin" blogspot)--
ReplyDeleteI sure miss knitting--s i g h I always found it super relaxing...I am going to try to do some this Fall--by then I will have given myself a good long time resting...we'll see...hugs, Julierose
I've learned that it's best to change up what I'm doing to give my hands a rest, so one night it might be crochet and the next it might be knitting. Daytime hours are for needlework when the light is better. Hope you can get back to knitting!
DeleteGreat job on the afghan. Great links. I like the teapot / teacup pincushion.
ReplyDeleteThanks - it was fun to make that afghan; must be, or I wouldn't be making four of them!
DeleteAnd, just like that, you have completed another afghan. And how nice it is - perfect for your son. I like to have something in my hands to work on when watching t.v. It keeps me from nodding off.
ReplyDeleteI think our son and daughter-in-love will like it, at least I hope so. I'm with you in needing something to do in front of the tv.
DeleteI have to agree with every word from Salty Pumpkin studio. I've saved most links. The ironing board cover,for sure! Love the Afghan...what is the measurement overall, MA?
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the links. As for size of the afghan, I haven't measured it exactly but this one I think is about 5 feet long by about 4 feet wide. #1 son is 6'4" so hopefully it will be long enough to cover most of him.
DeleteYou're a busy bee.
ReplyDeleteI never have time to get bored, that's for sure!
DeleteI am finally able to do a little crochet but my hand is still annoyed so I limit myself to 30 minute sessions. But I'm really enjoying the loom knitting! There will be lots of hats and scarves for donation this fall.
ReplyDeleteLimiting yourself is probably a good idea - I know once I'm finished with the current afghan I'm going to give crocheting a rest and go back to knitting for awhile. Haven't tried loom knitting but I'm told it's fun.
