Gorgeous, Debby. I haven't crocheted in years and then picked it up again over Christmas, just doing some dishcloths.

I'm currently making a Navajo Diamond pattern afghan, and a scarf for hubby.

That is lovely! It looks more like knit than crochet.

That's beautiful, Debby!

Beautiful, Debby. I can no longer crochet or knit, and I miss it. It causes trouble with my arms, and with my eyes. But I'm thankful for all the years that I could and did make things.

I ended up having to order the multi-colour yarn from amazon.ca. Neither Michaels nor Walmart had what I was looking for. I'm making the main part in black, then grey and the multi-colour is greyscale. His room and bedding are all black/grey/white so it should look good in there. I really wanted the greyscale part to be a blend of black/grey/red but nobody had that combination. I thought the little bit of red would make it pop a little better. I found my hook and should be able to get the first part done before my Amazon order arrives. I hope.... ;)

That is so pretty! My mother could crochet and she tried to teach me but she didn't have a lot of patience. I never progressed past making chains and one that looked sort of like shells. At the time I was mostly left handed... due to injuries I had become mostly left handed and always have stayed that way, except for writing, so I don't know if that was why I couldn't pick it up any better than I did.

Very pretty Debby, I'm a heavy crocheter and am always working on afghans. I've never seen that pattern before but I love how it has some nice texture to it!

Marilyn, I'm left handed, my Grandmother who was also left handed taught me when I was in grade school but after several years I ended up crocheting right handed. If you ever want to learn, I can point you to some very helpful sites, tutorial videos and help you understand a pattern or stitch if you get stuck.

That's beautiful, Ann! It looks like a quilt. :) I have yet to try a granny triangle. It's on my list of things to try. I have sooooooooooooooo much yarn, but not enough to do much with. I think I will make a few baby blankets when I'm done. I have nobody to give them to yet, but will have them on hand for when someone does have a baby. I've seen blankets made with odds and ends that look really nice too. It's a good way to use up all those balls.

That "really" looks like a quilt,Ann.

Best of luck with your project Deb!

I think we share the same Gene, ......Pain, go away...........

Years ago I made several of these to use up my yarn stash. I did have to buy a varigated yarn to go in the center of each panel. Very easy to make as it is made long-ways with the yarn being cut and used for fringe. Is this what the OP is making?

Really pretty ElizabethA!

Here's another afghan I made...this too is made the long way. A bridal shower gift. I really liked how it came out...probably should make one for us...

I made this one for the bedroom too.

Oh. I love the white one. Don't make me go buy more yarn!

I like to do a little or a lot of needlework every day, knit or crochet. Right now I am crocheting a filet design cotton thread tablecloth for our dining room table without the additional leaves. I decided I needed another project, and this time it is for me. (I mostly work on baby items, but the stork has slowed down in our neck of the woods. I knit hats and fingerless mitts for homeless youth in San Francisco too.) I should be finished with my project in another 3 or 4 weeks. My goal is to have it done for Easter dinner. I have made small table topper cloths just for fun, and I spent a few years making another filet crochet cloth for our dining room table with both leaves in it. That one I would put away for months at a time, and so it took longer.

I got about halfway through crocheting a scarf for my husband for a trip we took last week before getting sick. So I didn't get to finish it before we went. :( It doesn't get cold enough here but I will finish it for our next winter time vacation. :)

I would love to make a blanket for our bed. I tried making one once. I had 6 skeins of yarn and thought it would be plenty. The pattern was for a giant continuous granny square. Pretty easy to do. But even with 6 skeins it basically made a cat blanket lol

beautiful work,Ann

Debbie, that is a lovely afghan. I spent nearly two years on a Blue Delft afghan. My mistake was waiting until I had all fifteen squares done and sewn together before weaving any ends in and then the task seemed overwhelming. THERE WERE 1,206 ENDS!!! Just as I was finishing up, my daughter came to visit and asked who it was for. Since I was sick of looking at it, I said, "It's yours!"

ElizabethA, is that one that I saw on Crochetvlle? I have it in my "someday" loose leaf pattern book!

Debbie_ab, I've looked for that pattern to no avail. It is beautiful.

Where did u get the pattern from? Or could u post it? It is beautiful.

Debby, your planned blanket is gorgeous. I don't crochet but I used to knit and I think your son will be thrilled with it. I wish I had paid more attention when my dear grandmother had tried to teach me to crochet. I never could get the hang of it.
