Making afghans is so quick and easy; right now a very rewarding kind of project for me.
There's chances I might even finish this in time!
I have not been doing a lot of craft posting lately, but for this project I could start again. It is an afghan, to fit into someone elses living room. It has absolutely not my colours, though I chose them. Well, at least I like my idea of the pattern. It is going to be a big motif with zigzags around. Here's the first progress photots.
Tadaaa, here it is: The first big project I really finished and like and whatnot! (Shall I mention that I'm pretty proud of it?)
Yesterday, I discovered a3devries on flickr and was so amazed by her crocheted paintings (they are freeformed and flat!) that I felt an urge to paint something. It was supposed to be just background painting for some crocheted lace, but I'm not sure I'll really put fiber on all of them. Later in the evening I freeform-crocheted a golden bird. It is not finished yet; maybe I'll just use up the whole skein of yarn.
... but they said it only took one afternoon.
Not that I'd use them myself, but I decided they make great Christmas gifts. :)
Somehow, the yarn Sairy send me in her wonderful swap package, wants to be scarved up. I have not decided on what to do with the Noro yarn, but here's my first go at the Paton's.
The yarn is very nice to work with, though I guess it is not too good to use on projects were you are likely to frog a lot in-between. I very much like the colouring effects. Which tempts me a little to use the yarn for softies, because those self-colouring things turn out quite nice, mostly, but then, scarves are so nice to crochet, either. :)
I think it might be a little scratchy for a matching cap and too thick for mittens...
here it is:
