Lots of love Baby Afghan pattern
So I stumbled upon this cute pattern on Pinterest! And I have to say it is quite a fun pattern to work with! I decided to make a Baby Afghan from the pattern, one that I could put away for future use ;P
Here is my Current Progress with it! It doesn't show the actual length but I love the reversible effect it has!
I couldn't tell you what color blue this is, because it came in a 'lot' of yarn my Husband and I bought. But it sure is pretty, and I pray I have enough to finish! LOL
Well here is the link to this fun and cute pattern!

I will continue to post my progress as I go! :)

Granny Hippy Afghan
So My husband and I started this awesome hippy Peace Sign afghan for our niece.
It took well over a year and lots and lots of leftover project stash yarns! We had so much creating this afghan that is sure to keep her warm for many many years to come!
We got the square pattern from here:
Granny Peace Sign Square
Here is the finished afghan! I had to have my husband take the picture because I am much too short to capture the whole thing myself LOL! It is laid out across our cali king bed, but it will fit up to a full sized bed comfortably!
