ACK! No more blankets!

I finally finished Brandy's afghan yesterday. And just in time- her last day is Friday. I don't think I should be saying this, but it is no where near perfect. The stupid yarn says "No dye lot" and it is all "Soft Pink 7706" but some of it is a brighter pink than the others. And of course I didn't notice until I was on my third skein, and by then I wasn't going to rip it out and use all of the same color. But it is not too noticeable I guess. You just have to be in the right light and actually looking for it. I'm sure Brandy won't notice. And I will try and not tell her. :P

Well, here are the pretty pics.






And now I can take a break from blankets. I think I am going to make little heart pins for everyone at Michaels now. That is easy enough and won't take aways from my school work.

The eagle is ready to soar

I finally finished the eagle blanket yesterday. I had finished the design a week or so ago, but the blanket was not long enough, so I had to add more rows. But is is now long enough. I decided not to do a border around it, just because I am lazy and it looks fine without one. I just need to work in some ends a little bit better now.





And now I am working on another afghan. (arg!) My store manager is leaving and she asked if I would make her a afghan as her going away present. Of course I couldn't say no; she has been my manager for over 4 years now. But I have to make sure I finish it in time. I just started on it, and with school starting next week, I am not sure if I will have enough time. I guess I will need to find the time. And I will be carrying the afghan around with me everywhere.

Well, that is all for now. I will go back to crocheting afghans!
