New Afgan

I'm still diligently working away at my afgan, here is a photo of how it looks so far. I'm just starting the off white. It's taking a long time because it's using a single crochet variation stitch. It will definately keep my lap warm while I work on it. I do still wish that I could do that zig zag stitch. I'm not sure what my problem is with it. I never come out with the right number of stitches at the end of the first row. I've never had that problem before. Anyway, this will work just as well, maybe not as pretty but functional. I need to think of more projects that I can do after the afgan to keep busy, if anyone has any ideas let me know. I'm thinking another sweater. I have lots of patterns for those. Maybe a scarf. I'm tired of doing hats. I just like looking at all that yarn sitting there in the basket. It's comforting somehow. That's why I love yarn stores, seeing all that yarn just makes me so excited about what I could create with it. I wish I could afford the expensive yarns but on my budget it's michaels and Jo-Annes and sometimes Wal-mart, although they have reduced the amount of yarn that they carry. Well I've got my coffee now so it's time to start crocheting.
