Here are the April Squares from the Block a month Afghan CAL on Ravelry

The first is called Chocolate Delight but I did it in Green and White. The next is the filler block and is called Pinwheel. Here they are:

I redid the January squares. The CAL square is Dream Catcher and the Filler square is the Birthday Flower Square

I’m done with the Craftsters February Crochet Along Squares. Of course, this made me rethink my January squares colors. And, I came to a decision. The Bobby square, I will use in another afghan which will be multicolored but each square will be one color only. Each of the CAL squares will be two colored and one color will be common in all squares. The common color will be white. The other colors are going to be blue, light raspberry, yellow, brown, bright red, green, black, orange, pink, purple, a dark red and maybe country blue.

Here’s the February squares:

The Jewel top is almost done! I have the neck edging left to do and then the ends to weave. Here’s a picture taken in the bathroom mirror.

Well, we’ve been a little busy to say the least. Andrew developed a heavy chest cold at the end of 2007. He was wheezing and uncomfortable to the doctor prescribed Albuterol. He took that for a week and at his follow-up he was much better but still a little congested. Alexander started the round and got better first but he’s gotten another cold again and we’re hoping he does not spread it around again! We’re still recovering from the previous round.

In other news, I’ve decided to learn knitting this year. I’ve started a simple new sweater for Alexander using Homespun Delft and this pattern. Hope it turns out okay. I’ve also joined the Craftster 12″ Square a month Crochet Along. I am doing Two Squares a month and hopefully at the end of the year should have a pretty large Afghan from this. Here are the first two squares:

I am also working on the Jewel top by Doris Chan. Will post pictures of that soon.
