Back... and with lots of pictures. Unfortunately, this is about all I've got to show so not sure when I will have something else new and exciting after this.

First up, a baby sweater I was commissioned to make. The only specifics were a fall sweater for a baby that will be about 6 months old a the time but large for her age. So I used my leftover purple amore from my afghan and a ball of the multi I had and worked this up:



It took 3 tries on the sleeves to get them to a good length and not running out of yarn. I ended up doing stripes and it worked out well, I think. I also happened to find the perfect buttons in my stash:



So I busted stash and made money. Woooo!!!

Next up I crocheted a quickie sweater out of some Pistachio cotton ease I had. This one isn't for anything in particular, was just for something to do. So I experimented with granny squares:



Here it is a bit closer up, with some buttons I bought super cheap (like maybe $1 for 12).



Not sure about the sweater, but I love the buttons with it!

Last up is the afghan I have been working on FOREVER. I bought a ton of this lemon lime cotton from lion ages ago and started all the hexagons some time as well. Then awhile later I picked up 4 balls of sugar n cream in sunshine yellow and worked on the other motifs and border. However, I ran out of the yellow partially through the border and couldn't find it anywhere near me, of course. Luckily, Janine saved the day by sending me 2 balls (and some other goodies). So here is the finished blanket, in bad lighting:



Draped over the couch near the window so it can get some natural light:



And a closeup of the corner... these colors are pretty true:



That's all for now! Starting on another afghan with more tons of lion cotton I bought. Knit and crochet on!
