Afghans I made this summer:
This one looks aquatic to me. It’s the colors and the waves.
I’d wanted to make this one for a while, because I *love* daisies.
This one I threw together from a few squares I liked.
For all of them, I used Red Heart Supersaver yarn and a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
I know I said I would take more pics while this was in progress, but I finished so quickly, there wasn’t time. Here’s the finished shawl. I *love* it. It’s big and warm but also light and easy to move around in. Putting the squares together so the diagonal edge formed triangles worked really well; it folds perfectly around my neck. Plus, the flat sleeve edges don’t hang down too long in the front.
Some closeups and a full floor picture (click over to Flickr if you want a bigger view):
Next up is, er, well, maybe nothing. I’ve made everything I need! I might not crochet anything for a while. If I come up with a project, I’ll post.
Meanwhile, I’ve joined ravelry. My alias there is teagirl. See you there!
It’s finished! This blanket served the dual purpose of amusing me with its clashing colors and using up all my remainder yarn. (Well, all my remainder Red Heart yarn–I have plenty of Simply Soft left. *sigh*) It turned out to be 67”x40”–just long enough to use on the couch.
Pictures!

The full blanket (note when I took the picture, I hadn’t completed one of the black center stars):
And a closeup!
Next up, I’m making a shawl because the previous one I made is 1. too warm for summer and 2. a bit sloppy because it’s too big. Details shortly!
Here are a couple of pics from the scrap blanket in progress.
A fifth of the blanket.

After I connect all the octagons, there’s a neutral-colored star that fills the gaps
I have eighty seven gazillion remainder skeins, so I’m making a scrap blanket. It consists of little octagons that will be connected by even smaller, star-shaped, er, yarn things. I’m using a 5mm hook, but the yarn types cannot be specified due to the vastness of the variety. Here are a few octagons I’ve already made:
And a picture of a single:
These are super fast to make, but that isn’t helpful considering I have to make 221 of them! It will likely take a while.
Meanwhile, I’m looking for another shawl pattern, something delicate but warm. Any suggestions? The one I have is warm, but it’s also bulky and gigantic. I want something thinner, but not too lacy.
