It is a good thing I managed to get something accomplished last night because I certainly have little to show for today’s time.

This is the first of what I hope will be many afghans for donation this year. It took a bit of time to figure out the crochet stitch and then the limited amount of yarn I had didn’t go as far as I expected. It is a nice lap size though or perhaps for a baby. I have started another one with the same pattern so there will be no rest for my sore wrists.

I certainly noticed the stiffness in my wrists today as I spent most of the day cutting. For a couple of projects I’ll be working on next week I needed several background squares cut – 300 in one size, 150 in another, and 72 in another. Before I’m ready to start working on the projects though I still have to mark sewing lines on 150 of those squares.

I’ve set out another scrappy pinwheel quilt on the floor across the hall; I sent a photo to Stacia and Deloise to get their opinion before I start sewing the blocks together. I’m expecting Pat will be using my computer over the weekend so he can weigh in on my placement too.
