Some things I've completed

Well it's been a month since I was put on bed rest and that's a lot of crochet time since that's about the only thing I can do while in bed (besides puzzles!) So I have been crocheting up a storm and thought I would share a few pics!

This first one is the Pineapples & Roses Afghan from the Nov 2002 Crochet! Magazine. It takes almost one full day to complete each square so this took me about a week! I made this for a charity craft sale we are having at work! I hope it sells for a nice price!


This is from one of those free pattern leaflets you get in the stores. I believe it was from Bernat. I really love how this turned out and it's a great way to use up that novelty yarn that you can't figure out what to do with!


This is actually a pattern for a placemat but since I used Sugar N Cream instead of size 10 thread it turned into a very nice doily! I still need to block and stiffen it but I think it looks lovely on my table!


Other than that I am finishing up a baby blanket for a co-worker, a purse for my purse swap partner and I'm working on the huge 63 granny squares project with a bunch of yarn in my stash!

I finally got a Dr's appointment to see the 2nd surgeon! I see him on Monday and we should know more after that. A co-worker let me borrow her TENS unit which helps tremendously but it only masks the pain, doesn't actually help to heal me which is what I'm anxious to do!

I will be posting again next week with the details from my next Dr's visit!
