Like usual, I have three crochet projects going on at once. I’m working on two different afghans for Agnes, and one housewarming gift for my brother and his girlfriend.

The first afghan for Agnes I started way back in April. It is going to be a multicolored granny-square afghan in shades of maroon, coral, and pink. Agnes chose all of the colors.

I set my pattern, and I was making pretty good progress on crocheting all of the granny-squares.

Then I ran out of pink yarn…

So I had to stop just where I was. I checked our local store every time I went grocery shopping. A few months later the yarn still hasn’t been restocked. Luckily my Mother in law came to the rescue, and she found a few in another town.

So I am back to work making bright Summery granny-squares.

When Grandma (my mother in law) visited in May, we girls went shopping. We headed to the craft department, and Agnes spotted some bright pink yarn. Grandma picked up three skeins of bright pink to start me off on another afghan for Agnes.

The pattern is a quick one. It is a single crochet, followed by two double crochets. It makes a nice and fluffy fabric, and it is very fast to crochet too.

I’m hoping to make this afghan twin sized, so it can fit Agnes’s bed. I picked up a few more skeins last night, so I can keep crocheting on this one.

Lastly I have another granny-square afghan that I have been working on since May. It is going to be a housewarming gift. I think it is going to have 400 squares, and they are edged in a pretty heather gray.

I started the project off by making some granny-squares.

Lots and lots of granny-squares.

I’ve tried to make ten a day, but I don’t always meet my goal.

This morning I finished granny-square number one hundred and thirty.

I still have a long way to go, but this colorful project has been a fun one to work on.

As most of my projects go, we’ll see which one gets finished first.
