I took a break from the big afghan to make a baby blanket for a girl I use to work with. She is having her first baby in August, a little girl. I have been wanting to try this pattern, I like how it turned out. It was made using the Bernat Baby Stripes, working from corner to corner. It takes 3 skeins of yarn to make a blanket, but since I wanted to make the colors of the rainbow, I had bought 1 skein of each color. I have enough to make another one! Humm..wonder who is due soon?
It's very muggy today. I don't think we will be swimming on the account that I hate going out and pulling the cover off just to get in for 15 minutes and then have a downpour. The sun is out, but the weather is calling for storms this afternoon. So, I guess we will find something else to do.

I gave Sue Ellen her afghan, she was pleased. I went around it a few more times to make it wider, and I was happy with it then! After the Bellwood afghan I am going to make my Grandmother one...she doesn't have anything to cover up with while watching Lifetime! And her birthday is in August..she will be 85. She always take an interest in my projects, so I will have to hide this from her! She never crocheted or knitted, but she use to paint and latch-hook...and she likes to see how far I have gotten on something since the last time she visited. She likes pink, so my son and I went out and picked out the yarn...he did a good job. I am also going to try and whip up a baby blanket for a friend I use to work with, she is having her first baby in August...a GIRL! I was also very close to her Uncle Tom( has since passed). So I am going to surprise her with it. Busy Busy Busy!

WOW! I am half way there! And this afghan is huge! It will be very nice when it is all done. I already have a person interested in ordering one...we shall see. I can't remember if I had mentioned before that this was for the Community Picnic that the town has each year. Tickets are sold for chances to win items that people in the community have donated. Last year there were some really nice things, a few quilts...and one gentleman made those really nice adorondack(sp?) chairs. I didn't win those :o( .
