Memorial Day 2018

Crochet the Day Away

I'm afraid the time got away from me over the last month or so. I've been working on a couple projects here and there as the Smidget allows, but no earth-shattering progress so I've been hesitant to write a post. 

I finished a second square of my Joy's Journey afghan. This is still an easy-peasy mindless project, perfect for throwing in a few stitches here and there. 

Below is the afghan from 100 Afghans to Knit and Crochet. It is called Reflections on the Go and its a fun motif project. I've been joining them along the diagonal and weaving in ends as I go and I'm happy with how its turning out. I went down a hook size from the recommended size.

My two current crochet projects are another square of Joy's Journey and a butterfly Amigurumi from Beetles Bugs and Butterflies. I have an idea of who I'd like to give this too, assuming of course that I ever finish it. 

I'm also attempting to get this really super annoying quilt out of the way. This is a QAYG kit that I picked up from my church's sewing group. I have discovered that I loathe this kit and will never ever do another one. I've had it for three months and this is as far as I've gotten. Here's hoping its done soon.

The cross stitch has been put away as the Smidget is starting to be mobile and I'm going to have to figure out the best way to be able to work on it on occasion and still keep things like scissors and pointy needles away from his every curious grasp. Anyone have any suggestions?
