My latest afghan

I started yet another afghan, and I still haven't finished the others. I just couldn't help it the yarn just jumped into my cart and demanded to be made into a afghan. Yup thats exactly how it happened. Its just a basic granny squares nothing fancy. They are a little over 12" so that will make a nice sized afghan, which we wanted for our queen sized bed.

kitchen towels

I have been wanting to make something for my other mom for the longest time so I finally did. It was funny I had been working on these, then randomly in an email she had said that she could use these. Quite funny what are the odds of that happening. At first I was nervous making my other mom something because to me she is a crochet goddess and I am a beginner. All I have left to do is sew on the buttons. For some weird reason though the color of the tops came out darker in the picture, I did the toppers in red hearts light sage green. I also made her something else but I can't post that as its a secret until she gets it lol.

I call her my other mom because in our family we drop the in law titles. Family is family for us just the way it is.

Heres the link I used for these towels.......

Just a couple dishcloths

Diamond Dish Cloth very easy to work up. I love the fact I can hang these without having to put them in a drawer.  I made these for my mom although she doesn't know that. Here is the link to the pattern.  http://www.kaleidesigns.com/crochet/patterns/archive/dish005.html

I'm down for a bit

Uck......I am having dental issues right now so will be down for a bit. I have been blessed with one wall banger of an infection that is taken a bit to get rid of. I am also on all sorts of meds but figured I better post while I am somewhat lucid. So far the meds are helping it took awhile before they kicked in but finally they did.  The worst part is I had to put the crochet down because I kept messing up, I just cant think straight.

I know I will have to have a couple of teeth pulled, really not looking forward to that as I am terrified of dentist so that should be real fun. I actually pity the dentist lol.

My very first beanie hat!

I was up late watching some movie really wasn't into it, so I decided I wanted to see how hard this would be for me to learn to make. Although its not perfect I am thrilled it resembles a hat!

Heres the link to the pattern for those who want it. I do suggest going with a bigger hook, this size hat is nice but probably wouldn't fit an adult head.
