Granny Afghan

Just found out today that my dad’s family is having a family reunion in 4 days and it’s going to be close to where I live (for once). They always do a craft auction to help raise money for future reunions instead of asking for donations or assuming that someone else is going to pay for it and sticking 1 person with the bill.
So anyway, with only 4 days to go, I decided the quickest thing would be a granny square afghan. I’m using 10 skein of Red Heart Super Saver simultaneously with an “S” hook.

It’s definitely working up very quickly. After almost 2 rounds, it’s about 10”.

Will definitely post completed pics with the winner at the auction. (And how much it goes for (; )
Also in the works, another baby set for the girl I grew up next door to. She’s having her first baby in July and it’s a boy. Getting to expand my horizons (a little bit) working with different colors.

Going to do the booties after I finish the afghan for the craft auction. Wish me luck. gonna need it if I’m gonna get everything done on time.

Things I've Learned Recently

1. I prefer wood crochet hooks when working with cotton yarn.
2. I prefer the Clover brand of aluminum crochet hooks and yarn needles.
3. It's going to be a very long summer trying to keep my children entertained.

Pot Lid Grabber Hats

Just finished these for a lady I work with. Pattern at: www.crochetnmore.com/lidgrabberhat.htm
Used Lily Sugar 'n Cream in 00095 Red.
Hopefully she will spread the word and I'll get to make a little extra money ;). No really, I do it for the love of the craft not the money.

My baby girl is knitting!

This needs no intro.

Does this make anyone else mad, too?!

So you went and bought that yarn you needed for that special project. You get it home and the first pull makes the mess shown above. Is there any way to prevent this other than starting from the outside tail?
