Current Projects

This is the fabric that I'm going to use in the Lady of the Lake quilt block.  Got it all cut out before I had to be at work yesterday morning.  I didn't get to work on this during my lunch hour yesterday.  Had to run and get some yarn for the afghan that I am currently working on.

The lighter yarn is what I started with.  I had no idea what size I was going to make this afghan, so, I didn't buy two jumbo skeins of it.  Bad idea!!!  They discontinued the yarn at one Wal-Mart.  Went to another one.  They had some mauve.  Bought two of the jumbo skeins on clearance. 

Got another afghan started.  Decided that I didn't want to take forever in getting the afghan finished.  I'm already behind!  

Off I traipse to Hancock's Fabric for yet another shopping excursion.  This time I brought the afghan with me.  I had seen some purple yarn of the same kind and color as the first jumbo skein of yarn when I went to Hancock's on a previous shopping mission.  Alas, no match.  It was a shade different even though there was no dye lot. 

I had to hurry up and decide what shade of purple yarn I wanted to go with the lighter colored purple.  I was on lunch and had to hurry up and get back to work plus stop and get something to eat.  After a few minutes of walking back and forth, I chose a darker purple yarn for an ombre look. 

I came up with another idea as I am sitting here typing this up.  It will involve some frogging.  I'm going to make a border out of the dark purple instead of just continuing the way that I was doing. 

I'm thinking of crocheting some flowers and add to a corner of the afghan.  I might have to do a bit of embroidery too....we'll see.
