Back From Vacation

I just got back from my summer cabin, I go there for a month every year. I did lots of knitting, crocheting and a little appliqué. I forgot to bring along perle cotton, so I couldn't do the embroidery on the blocks. I saw an idea in a library book about a crocheted afghan and thought it looked interesting. It uses 3 strands of worsted weight yarn at the same time and a giant crochet hook. The whole thing is worked in single crochet, so it's very thick. I went to Walmart and bought the yarn, it was difficult to find enough of 3 colours of the same kinds, the afghan requires a tremendous amount. After this picture was taken, I worked on it some more, now it's about 2 feet long. I'm going to finish it by next year and it can live in my cabin.
