For me it's coming up close to June and I am trying to finish my mom's Tropico afghan before her bday in June. So to having this crochetalong may just have me push right though these projects.

 

So what do everyone like to try to finish or work on in May?

 

Show pictures and update if you like as you work on your projects.

 

1) Finish my mom bday Tropico afghan

2) Finish my blue and black afghan (Its in my avatar)

I want to make a pansy afghan for my mother for mother's day after I finish the current sock monkey I'm making.

[Lesalicious]

Aww how nice I wanted to make something for my mom for mothers day but, I know it wont be done in time. So I am going to take her out to eat and to the movies.

[Lilly Flower]

I will join!

 

My goal is to make at least a couple of 6 inch squares, A wheelchair bag, and a 12 inch square for an afghan I am making.

I will have my list up and going after my classes are over thanks Lesa for starting this one. I normally would have started it but I am so exhausted from studying for classes. So I am glad to see someone else has started this Cal.

Opps my fault didn't know that this was a monthly thing I just started back posting on here this week. Been gone due to some family problems and I guess I was way to excited to get back to crocheting. Sorry

No don't apologize I am just glad that you jumped in I appreciate it more than you know with going to school now. I will not have much time anymore to host a Cal. So Lesa don't feel bad I am just glad you started it. Granted I will still be in some cals just not as much time as I use to have.

Thanks for doing the hosting so far this year Faith and thank you Lesa for taking over the hosting I really like this CAL it makes me set goals and get things done and spend less time thinking 'what should I do now'!!! I will think about my list and come back in a bit to write it up!

Well ok since we is so close to May I am so trying to get this afghan done it is so hard.

 

 

The picture below is what I have so far but, I have more squares since I've taken this picture.

 

I found this afghan in a cross stitching magazine that I thought I can make into a crochet afghan instand so wish me luck. I will connect the squares I have done by the end of the weekend and have a update. Off I go to make at least 10 squares today.

[fc1123]

Well I think tomorrow I will work on my list going to gather it together tonight. I am just so glad school is done for the semester now to wait to see what will happen to my financial aid for The Spring/Summer semester though only taking 3 classes this coming semester.

Susan,

I know I am a little late to the party, but I really like that V stitch baby afghan. A good marriage of pattern and yarn choices.

The rectangle granny's square isn't chopped liver, but the V stitch just caught my eye! Thanks for sharing, and WELL DONE!

[GlasgowLindsay]

I have made myself a new bag/case for my MP3 player but I managed to lose the picture from the last batch I downloaded so I will need to try for another picture later!?

 

Meantime I have assembled, sewn on flowers and edged the 9 scarves that were WIPs! They are scarves #9-#17 on my blog! Clearing that lot sure made lots of space in my work basket!
