I am the worst ...

... about starting a new project before finishing the one I have already on the hook!

I am still working on the Epic Afghan, but then went back and did some work on an afghan for my son that I started YEARS ago.  Then became bored with that and started a Prayer Shawl.  After all of that, I caught myself looking at bookmark patterns today, I have some serious CADD (Crochet Attention Deficit Disorder)

I have already shown pictures of the Epic Afghan, so here is a pic of my son's afghan

This is the Refreshing Throw, by Red Heart, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/refreshing-throw
You can find the pattern either on the Red Heart Website or on Ravelry.   I am doing his in shades of pink, black and gray.  I let him pick out the colors. 

Anyway, I hope to be able to finish one of the MANY projects by early fall.  Maybe I won't start anymore before then!

Blessings!

Prayer Shawl

Just an update on my many, many projects.  The Epic Afghan is still moving along, S L O W L Y!!!  I've also been working on my son's smaller afghan.  But sometimes you just need a "Feel Good" Project.  One that you know is going to turn out great, does not take a long time to complete and you already have all needed yarn :)  My version of the prayer shawl is Lion Brand's Triangular Shawl.  It is very easy to make and always looks great when finished.  Here is the link:

I have always loved this pattern, it makes me feel good to make it and feel good to give it to someone that needs it.  They always go to my church family, so that someone in need can feel good too.

Hope you have a "Feel Good" Day!
