April Yarns

I can tell a big difference in the way I've been crafting lately. I haven't made an afghan square in a while. I've been using different yarns to make more usual pieces. Like April so far.
A purple "bunny buddy" blankie for a child - a square with arms & a stuffed head. I liked it & need to make more to sell @ xmas. The green scarf is from dock I overdyed, then made into a Tunisian crochet scarf. Very pleased with it.

The scarf in the middle is made with the keftovers of a skein of yarn from my Hoodie I made last year.

The washcloth with the brick pattern is a new technique in Tunisian crochet. Yes, I'm loving all the ways Tunisian is fun.

And my favorite piece I've made so far in April is this chunky "hooded cowl." Very luxurious! Now I need one for myself!

I also finished my Tunisian Spiral Afghan which is lovely & soft!

I've been planning my OWL for HPKCHC on Ravelry, starting in May. The OWL is a big 3-month project. I'll be making three scarves/shawlettes. I hope. More on that later.

On the hook now? Started a little something for Momma & Mothers Day. Chuck has given me dimensions to make a cover for the backrest on his bike. I got the yarn for it - just need to start & work out the pattern as I go. Geez. Is that it? WTF?? Good grief! I better start some more stuff so there will be more to report for April!!
