Knitted and Crocheted Afghans in the Works

 The colors here are a bit off.  The center of this knitted afghan is navy, not purple as it sorta looks in this picture.  This afghan has been real piece meal.  Started it in the car on a road trip, and then when it got a bit big for car trips, laid it aside.  Have 4 more sections to finish it, then get ends tucks in, laundered and blocked.  Hoping to get this done soon to help with our numbers for afghans.
This crocheted afghan is getting there.  The pink center was donated, and is a nice start.  Thought working on this might produce another afghan a little quicker, as crocheting is faster than knitting.  After several more rounds of the variegated, will do perhaps a pink or blue section next.  Need to check my stash and see what works.

 Hope you're all busy trying to finish up some projects.  I'll keep ya posted how we're doing against our goal of matching last years donated afghan total.  29 to go.

    Oh, those afghans will be so nice when you are done with them. Good luck in getting them finished by the end of the year! I hope to have a scarf or two for you by the end of the year. I have been busy with baby blankets lately.

    Love the mix of colors in the one on your needles. You're always so good with color. I've seen that center pink pattern before. Pretty! You're giving me the itch to try knitting again.
