One of my 15 starts for the first 15 days of 2011 was an afghan, but really more of a bedspread, but heavy fibers. Stuff that was laying around the house for whatever reason. I have done a few more rounds of it. It's not laying flat, in part because of switching fibers, I think. But it is still looking good and already is quite warm, to it is a basic success. The other crocheted project is a ripple baby blanket. I have done more on that too, it seems awfully little, so really for a newborn. And I have finally worked on a crocheted place mat for you be the judge. I started one yesterday, am about 1/2 finished. It's a nice pattern, one row of single, then a row of crossed double. Working up well. I will use this pattern to make several. I have lots of Sugar and Cream weight around the house, good way to use it up. But none of this counts in my mile. I started off so well, then I did the math, I think that 880 strips is daunting. But I keep telling myself there is no deadline.
On the needle note, I worked on the Charley Harper Needlepoint Duck, finished the cross stitch Funky Flower from By the Bay, and did a little on the Bee Line, At work I am finishing a Subversive Stitch Thanks for Sharing piece, that I want to have done by Friday so that I can give it to Terri to frame. I am doing the flowers on the edge now, might do some beads in the corners.
