So I am making this afghan for Honey. I don't think I have enough yarn to complete the full afghan at this time, but I will be sure to be working before I get anywhere near the end. I have not even officially started the second row yet. I'm not working it in a plum/dark purple, but midnight blue. The lady who posted this pattern suggests not working it in more than one color, but I plan to do so anyway. I will post a photo of what it looks like when I do complete it.
I also made this scarf twice, one that was 100 rows long and another that was 70 rows long. One was for the eldest niece and the other for the youngest niece of Honey's family. They enjoy getting handmade items and I thought since the eldest is moving away to live with her father for a bit it would be nice to have matching scarves.
The scarf I made for the girls also had a matching hat, which is able to be turned into a beanie and I made that for the Little Lady, it turned out amazing and she loved it. I literally made it Christmas Eve right in front of her and finished it around 1 am. Instead of single crochets, I used half-double crochets. They look and feel so much better to me than single crochets, they are also, in my opinion, more sturdy.
I wish I would have had the blue that the scarf was made in, but I didn't, so I made them in the Soft Sage color that the baby afghan was made out of. I made Little Lady's beanie out of off white because she preferred it to the sage. The Soft Sage color is like a light mint green.
I've really learned a lot of new crochet stitches, too since I have restarted this hobby. The LionBrand yarn website has a great tutorial section on how to do certain stitches. I can't do them all yet, but hopefully someday I will, well the crochet ones anyway, I don't plan to learn how to knit, crocheting is complicated enough for me!
