Hi Miss Willo,
I didn't see this thread was still going.
I think I do have enough stock for the 24th. But to keep it interesting I offered to take some stuff for a friend.
I'll post some pictures this weekend.

@ that rate, I do not believe anyone can see you. 100 ft Up from the road & people go faster then the speed limit: they do not have time to be a peeping tom: they'd have to be close up for that.

Ok, here are the pictures of the baby afghan I made for my cousin's daughter. Alright, so it's a bit big for a newborn, but he/she will get to enjoy it for many years! Mom and dad can even enjoy it! In other words, it's a little bit on the large size.

I laid it on my queen size bed to take pictures.

I also took a close up of the corner so you could see the stitches and placed the Q hook in the picture along side a #2 pencil so you could see how big the Q hook is!

Norene...Isn't that Q hook hard to hold onto?? I've never tried one that big. Does it helps the piece go faster tho ?? It's always nice to know it will be able to be used for along time. That way all that work is in use longer

I don't have a hard time holding the hook, although it feels a little strange at first. And yes, it does make the project go a lot faster!!!
