I'm not crocheting right now, because I could be contagious on the yarn, but I'm making plans on what to make next and it's very fun to make plans and look ahead.
You did great, Nancy!
Booksaver, That woven stitch can be used for scarves, hats, crocheted in the round or flat, then sewn closed, for shawls, dishtowels, scrubbing towels, and for afghans, too. I found a pattern at Lion Brand, which is black and white striped in the photo, which is the same stitch, only striped! I'm going to crochet it for the 3 youngest grands for Christmas. When Christmas is here, their ages with be dgd-11 months, 2 dgsons-2.5 & 3.5. The older boys have tons of afghans and hats from me from over the past 16 years, they think crochet is "dorky" now and don't want/need anymore. Their moms have told me how they've felt.
