It's been such a long time since I've done anything crafty. I've collected plenty of ideas and I've wanted to do something but I just haven't been able to get myself to start anything.
The other day I finally decided I would pick something and go for it. I bought yarn years ago to make an afghan but had sort of burned myself out on them before I ever got to it. I've been wanting to do a rectangular granny square afghan so I started that.
I'm not very fast making these so with any luck this should be finished by maybe April. My only problem is that I don't think I bought enough yarn and who knows if I'll be able to find the same colors.

Gosh, that's right! I haven't seen any crafts from you in so long!! And don't people craft more in the winter? Keep us posted on how it's going!!
Look forward to seeing it in April :)
I think April will be very quick in finishing the afghan. I started a teddy bear in jan last year...they usually take me a week or so to do but I still haven't got it finished.....really do need to get around to it!!
As for the colours...I think it will be great with some different colours in it anyway so don't worry too much. Good luck with getting it finished!!
Many, many moons ago, I used to crochet. Today...I haven't a clue. I don't remember how to even start! Can't wait to see your finished project though!!
Nice to know I'm not the only one that putzes out on projects periodically ;o) You should be okay on the Red Heart stuff. Probably. Maybe...
I ran out of yarn 3/4 of the way through an afghan one time and it turned out to be a discontinued color. *sigh* I did finally find some after 3 days of searching online, but it felt an awful lot like a snipe hunt for a while there. Ha.
It is great to see you doing something crafty again! I am about to donate yarn to a local knitting group. I am so tired of buying things and never doing much with them. I think I could be rich if I kept my money:)
might i suggest you make one the size that is perfect for master Duke? then he will be warm and you will not have to look for more yarn. or make worry dolls like ginny has on her site. there are instructions on making them if you google it. hugs from your non crafting friend who is only good for giving advice
Well ~ that afghan could always be a scarf. ;)

You could make for Duke.
It is looking good already.
I think blue would look great on Duke! Happy Friday Ann!!!
I hope you find more yarn the same color it is beautiful - so you can crochet too. sandie
I started a blanket in July - still isn't done - nothing is as boring as crocheting, or knitting - Nothing! I think I'd rather watch paint dry...
Just keep adding contrasting colors and make it colorful.
Finding the same colors may be hard.. Is there a 'number on the package??? You may be able to order that one online... Just a thought.
That afghan is going to be gorgeous. Love those colors...
Hugs,
Betsy
It's 'gonna be Beautiful! Enjoy! It's a restful hobby!

It'll be beautiful sweetie, I can't wait to see the finished project!
Bet I don't have to wait 'till April.
God bless ya and have a great weekend!!! :o)
Red heart is pretty easy to find and rarely has dye lot problems. I imagine you would be able to find more, or just make it a lap blanket instead of a full size afgan!
Uh oh! Time to get creative on adding in another color early, or searching for more.
It has been awhile since you've been crafty so I'm glad you're back at it! I still need to re-learn how to crochet (even though Grace says it's so boring!).
Those are pretty colors! And it will keep you warm as your making it. Have a great weekend!
Glad to see you are back at it! I love crafting and I took a break after my divorce and I missed it terribly! That break took about 4 years! So glad I'm back.
Can't wait to see the finished afghan.....in April!
YOu might want to return to be sure you get the same dye lot, sweetheart...a lesson learned...:)JP
That's a nice color combo - come April you'll have a wondeful afghan.
I wish I could get back into crafting...I finally got motivated and took my Christmas decorations down last night! : (
That sounds like a great project! Is it hard to make one? I would really like to do something like this, but I'm afraid it would be too hard to do. I figure I could do it while watching TV with the family (I'm trying to spend more time with them and less on the computer).
