Love the colours, Rose. I'm sure he'll really like it. And the flamingo is just great - love his boots.

That looks good!
I haven't started a new crochet project for a while. Too many UFOs to sort out first!

Thanks Jilly, Yes it was a fun pattern to do but to get it to fit with the other squares on my mom's quilt I had to do it on 20 ct aida so that is why the sky did not get finished. I was going nuts with all of the color changes and the tiny stitches.

There is a huge amount of sky,one look at the chart is enough to move it to the bottom of the to do pile,on 20 count it must be mind blowing
I have many Native American designs,some are other Dimensions kits,I also have a wonderful book by Julie Hasler,I did my first big project out of that,a Tribeswoman with something like 65,000 stitches,she is wonderful though.

I forgot to say that last week-end I finished the edging for my son's christmas runner and got it sewed on. I will try to get a picture tonight and put it in the gallery. So much stuff going on and getting finished I for got to get a picture. Have to get it wrapped up too.

More progress on the second afghan. This one is a scrap pattern and it is very pretty but it takes longer as you have to change colors every single row. It is a lot of start and stop.

It must be a pain to crotchet, but purely as a spectator, I have to say it looks so good like that!

This is some more of the work I have done over the week-end. It is getting closer to done. Every one likes the colors.
I have also add some pictures of some of my other crochet work in my webshots "Crochet" folder. And some more Snowmen in "Other Crafts"

Rose, I think this is my favourite one you have done, just love the colours and I'm not into greens usually. Very nice! Just off to have a peek at your webshots now!

Here are the pictures of the finished afghans.
This is the one I did will we were down south.
You can't tell it by the pictures but there is a silver thread running through all of the yarns.

I have started a new WIP. I am not going to tell you what it is I am going to let you all guess and she how long it takes you to figure it out. Here is the first clue.
You have to be exactly.

The afghans are lovely, Rose. Did you know you've got a big, black and white mark on the green one? (Bless him!) I really like the colours of the red one. Your WIP looks as though it might be a holly wreath - but it's a bit high up on the fabric for that. Mmm...
