Wash or Dish Cloths for a gift

I am going to be starting a new crochet project next week, so decided to make some wash/dish cloths for my sister Karen for her birthday in April.  We don't always share birthday gifts, but sometimes we do, and I think these are nice cloths.  The pattern is bumpy on one side and smooth on the other, good for showering or dishes I think.  I finished the pink one today and will make 3 altogether to bundle up and tie with a ribbon to send her.  The next one will be yellow and not sure what the 3rd will be of the colors in the picture.  I actually like the deep brown for some reason, although I like all the colors.  They are kind of fun to make; I can watch a movie or TV and not have to concentrate that much.  I think she will like them too with the pretty colors.

I got her bundle done, I am calling it the Neapolitan collection..I think it turned out pretty.

A Big Fluffy Afghan

I saw a posting on one of my blogs of this afghan that a lady (Purple Poncho) made for her daughter.  I fell in love with the cushiness of it and went out and bought the yarn the next day and got started on it.  Even though I didn't work on it for the month of February it was still one of the fastest afghan's I have ever made.  I thought about leaving it all cream and putting fringe on two of the ends, but after thinking about it and people telling me the fringe gets all funky and tangled when you wash it, I decided to put a border on it instead.  I found one of the colors for this brand with gray, beige and cream and went for it.  In life it looks more muted and lighter gray than this picture.  Anyway it was lots of fun to make and is super soft and comfy..love it!
