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.

Inching Our Way to our Donations Goals

Thank you Sandra from Florida.  As you can see, she's been very busy.  I really think she must knit in her sleep with the quantity she is able to produce for Bridge and Beyond through out the year.  Sandra has included 7 more pairs of mittens bring our yearly total to 9 over last year.  So truly exciting!

She's gotten us a bit closer on our scarf goal.  Believe we have 34 days and need 190...how close will we get?  Only time will tell.

AND she's managed 22 hats really making a nice dent in our hat goal.

Many thanks Sandra for your kindness and generosity.  As always, beautifully made hats, scarves, and mittens.  And special thanks too for tagging mittens and hats with size.

You truly Rock!!

Knitted Scarf

Recently finished this scarf which is my car scarf.  I say that because I worked on it while I spent time sitting in the car on my way to and from Hilton Head.  Though I finished it here at home, the bulk of it was made in the car while traveling.  

The yarn is Satin, very nice and soft and from my stash of donated yarn.  I believe the colors will work for either male or female.

Knitted Thanksgiving Afghan Travels to Ohio

Thank you Darling Daughter!  My Darling Daughter knitted this lapghan and brought it home in her suitcase when she visited for Thanksgiving!!  Love it.  Love the colors, so nice and soft made with Lion Brand Homespun.  Pink, Raspberry, Purple (sorta Heather), and a pretty green, though the picture isn't showing the colors very well.

This brings us one closer to our goal of matching last year.  We have about 35 days and need 29 afghans...can it happen?

Many thanks Darling Daughter, whomever gets this to snuggle up in will be thrilled.
