Piano Keys
Here is an afghan I am working on for a friend. I wish I could make it faster as it is so much fun. It has challenged my skills as a crocheter, as it has a cable stitch and some other textured parts to it. I would make it again in a heartbeat, though! Wouldn't it be pretty in other colors, too?

Pelican Pillow Finished!
The Pelican Pillow is finally done! I love the edging of it. Braided crochet all the way around it. However, I will be sure to make sure and plan for lots of time to do this type of edging. Took my at least 4 hours to complete this edge.

Lacy baby ghan
My most recent finish! I thoroughly enjoyed making this little afghan. I used Caron Simply Soft pink yarn. I will most definitely do another like this at some point.

The pillow is coming along well. It ended up being much bigger than the pattern stated. However, it helps if you check gauge (which I hate doing!). I forget that I need to use a smaller hook! The pillow form was 21X21 and fits perfectly. I did not finish this before the pineapple afghan was given to the recipient they were both supposed to go for. However, it is a wedding present and I still have time. I just have to finish a tiny bit and it will be done.

Hats for Charity
I made these hats for a charity. This is the first time I have made hats and I had so much fun I couldn't stop! I just kept going and going... just like the Energizer batteries!
I also learned a new stitch. The reverse single crochet! I have always been afraid of that stitch for some reason. I found myself fascinated with it and wanting to keep doing the stitch. I will definitely do more with the reverse single crochet.
