Good Monday morning everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
I'm happy to introduce you to another wonderful friend I have come to know through Crochet. Jennifer is the gal behind Little Luvies Shop and has been a tester for me since day. She has been a huge support through all my ups and downs. Jennifer also designs on her own, so I hope you will take some time to visit some of her social sites and see what she is up to.

An unfinished project with one question in mind - Keep going or turn it into something else?
Isn't it funny how the mind works? When the creative juices start flowing, it's hard to focus on anything else but that next design that you are dieing to work up! As I was looking for a crochet book to reference an afghan pattern to here on the blog, I had to move a box of unfinished projects out of my way. Uggghh! The Guilt and the dread that I felt - well....It was sad :(
I bet it's been close to 1 1/2 years ago that I started a small Red, White and Blue afghan. Really, it's like a baby sized afghan and it's still sitting in my pile - I know, I have issues. I have always worked really small bubble style stitches and I thought it would be fun to try a larger popcorn type of a stitch. I had a good sized stash of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn and I kept telling myself that I needed to use the stash up before I go out and buy any more. In all seriousness, do you know any hookers who clean out their stash of yarn before buying more? I don't. And don't let anyone fool you - they probably have some yarn hidden in the closet or under the bed. This pattern was fun at first. I just made it all up as I went along my merry way. Nothing spectacular, just some good ole simple, mindless stitches. Then....Creativity struck!!! Now, I don't know what it was that made me put the afghan aside, but I had to get those fingers moving on .

Ribbon Candy Afghan |
This afghan is worked C2C (corner to corner) and directions are for a finished size of 40"x40" with instructions on how to easily adjust to the size of your choice. It is such a fun design and would make a great addition to any room. This actual afghan will be a gift to my youngest sister for her baby coming this year. I can't wait for her to see it!
