Mom's "Lemon Drops" Afghan

Here's another beautiful afghan crocheted by my mother for our local Project Linus. She calls this one "Lemon Drops." It's made with all donated yarn and is approximately 30 x 40 inches. She is such a fast crocheter and is helping me out tremendously. Thanks, Mom!

For the last couple of months, I have been knitting socks, slippers, hats, and sweaters with some lovely superwash wool yarn that I purchased at Knit Picks. I love buying yarn from them and I'm very happy with it. It's extremely soft. I encourage knitters to try their hand at knitting socks because it is not difficult if you just follow the directions. Socks are fun to make, easy, and work up quickly.

Mom's "Jelly Beans" Afghan

My mother finished another afghan for Project Linus. She is a very fast crocheter! This afghan uses all donated yarn again. This one has a lot of a very pretty variegated color. Mom calls this one "Jelly Beans." Notice the beautiful lacy edging on this one. The afghan is about 30 x 40 inches.

It's really helpful to me that my mother is continuing to make Project Linus afghans while I'm busy working on some other projects. She's choosing wonderful colors for the children.
