finished, begun and back to school

another afghan square complete!

this makes 14 in the current bunch

I'm thinking it's time to start looking for a box to stick these in and get them shipped off

I started another one too

In other knitting news, I'm now working on the hood for the sweater I'm making --- and it's looking good!

The other day I got a new dishrag pattern that I want to try out --- when I pulled out the bag of cotton yarn to start, I discovered that I was supposed to be working on another project -- oops! Guess I'll be doing that one soon too.

This drawing is the beginning of a new baby quilt.

Yesterday the DH got a note from his oldest daughter (my step-daughter) telling us that her oldest girl is having another baby in December

I made a quilt with lambs on it for the first baby (along with a knitted lamb toy), so I think I'll put the kitties on this one (we've been told that the baby is a girl)

I'll be spending some time going through the fabrics I have on hand to see if I can't do a lot of this without spending any money for anything

Other quilting news -- the quilting on the mystery Christmas quilt is moving right along and is about 2/3 finished (and I got the binding cut!)

In the fall we go back to school!

Over at Travelin Oma Marty is going to do a 12 week class right out here in the comfort of Blogland!

Want to come along? It's going to be fun!
