The Wrong Color....really!

Do you relate to this?  LOL, not sure I do, in that I don't get angry, I'm more surprised and think..........how is that possible I don't have the right color?  Or I have the color, but it's the wrong type of yarn.  AND who doesn't like a good excuse to go yarn shopping?

Hope you got a chuckle and the next time you look through your yarn; maybe you'll think of this little comic.

Granny Surprise Afghan is Growing

These 18 squares have been joined since I took this picture and a few others as well.  I'm finding stitching these together more challenging then normal.  I seem to only be able to work on it with natural light,thus outside.  Some of these squares have partially felted I believe, so not really able to find the actual stitch to put together.  I normally don't accept wool, but no one knew what these were they were found..........so, will play through and assemble and will note it when it's donated.  This afghan, as you might remember is called Grannies Surprise.

I'm basically reaching into a bag pulling out squares and stitching them together, so very randomly; unless I get two of the same, then I go fish again.

Crocheted Hats and Scarves warm the Homeless

Thank you Diana K for this thoughtful donation.  Hats and scarves, some matching sets as well, all beautifully crocheted.  A good variety in hat sizes which is always helpful.  Colors for both the men folk and the ladies.  If you click to enlarge the picture and see details folks, you can see some of the hats with the brim rolled up, and in others I rolled it down so you could see the hat both ways.  Options are always nice.

Keep up the good work Diana.  Many folks will now be warmer, thank you.
