Nesting

As I said in my last post, not really working on much right now (unless you count Oblivion... which is really all I'm doing). Since I'm feeling a little better (head colds suck, btw), I was able to get some photos done today.

As the weather is definitely turning to fall and I'm perpetually chilled, I always seem to feel the need to make afghans this time of year. So I undug an older afghan that is well on it's way to getting finished:


As usual, Jake is not very patient with the whole "finishing" aspect of afghan construction. He likes to test it during different stages of production. Now that's a dedicated QC department.


I think it's got the go ahead... it's my breakfast project right now. It's worked lengthwise, so while the rows are really long, I feel like I don't have a lot left to do on it. I'm guessing I'm about 3/4 of the way done (not including a border. If I decide to do one).

The only other thing I'm working on is an other crochet afghan. This time doing hexagons (I think I've shown this project before, but I just put it in Ravelry and I've had problems getting a decent photo).


This is actually a little slower than the granny squares. I don't have an "assembly line" feel to it, as I'm weaving in each round as I complete it, plus I'm attaching as I go. This will be great in the long run, as I won't have to sew the hexagons together or weave in a bunch of ends... but I don't feel like I'm cranking out the hexagons. Still, it's fun and I'm enjoying it (tho' right now I'm questioning the DK weight yarn... it's a fairly lightweight afghan and did I mention that I'm chilled?)

So here we are mid-October and I really wanted to get 2 more projects done this month. The teardrop afghan might make it... but not sure I'll get anything else done this month. Eh... what gets done gets done.
