52 Week Crochet Challenge Week 7 & Week 8

Week 7: Now that your yarn is nicely organized, make a scrappy yarn project.

Week 8: This week your challenge is to go through any unfinished projects you've had sitting around and either work it or frog it. If you don't have any unfinished projects (really?), then show us what you are working on.

Since I missed out on last weeks challenge due to my not having any internet, I thought I would combine these two weeks into one. I also thought these challenges kinda, sorta fit together anyway.

I had three colors of yarn rolled up in little scrappy balls,

 left over from other projects: white, light pink and dark pink.

So I decided to turn them into a Baby Afghan made from a giant Granny.

I had started it weeks ago, but never finished it.

So here now it is finally done, lol.

Since I don't have any babies around me currently, Pooh Bear had to

model instead.

Here Pooh Bear said he was to tired and just couldn't sit up any longer.

Pooh Bear giving you all the biggest smile he could muster.

As a finish I added a ruffle all the way around,

at which point I actually ran out of scrappy yarn.

Now to find a "Happy Baby" to give it to.

Countdown

           Yes, yes it is that time of the year again and the Countdown to CHRISTMAS begins. Am I ready for it? NO and no again, but it doesn't change the fact it's coming. So we might as well get into the Spirit of things and start somewhere, which I guess would be the beginning.

            So today I actually have a little TAH-DAH...... yes, what do you think of that? I finished my first Christmas Present. I can't mention who it is for here, because that person might read my blog, but showing it of I can. So here without further ado:

She loves really bright colors

The Back

I just loved these little buttons

One more look at it

What you think of that green Border?

As finish my little post here, I would like to ask all of you: What is on your needle or needles for the upcoming holiday?

Until the next time my friends........

Giant Granny - Part #2

Last night was so nice and quiet around here I did manage to actually crochet on the Giant Granny to round 30. Feeling mighty accomplished after that. Yay.....it always does feel good when something is moving ahead.

Have you all noticed the nights are starting to feel cooler.....oh happy days, or should I say nights. Will personally be so glad when this heat goes away some. I don't think I would want it to be quite Fall already, but I would really like to enjoy some outdoor time before it gets plum cold again. How you feel about that?

Giant Granny Square

Yes my Friends, I am actually here a second time today. Hard to believe huh? Well I guess I am really getting back into the swing of things and getting back to enjoying creating something new. It's been missing a while, but I am glad that it is making a return.

Making a Giant Granny is nothing unusual around here at the moment as there was a crochet-along. Most of you have already finished theirs as I am jumping in at the back-end of it, but better late than never, right? So far this morning I have crocheted 10 rounds, not much but a beginning. Hopefully by this evening I will have doubled that. As it is a rainy day outside and I actually don't have that much to do today, that is a good possibility, if not more. Will keep you posted on my progress.
