FO to report!

The FO (finished object) I have to report is the baby afghan I was working on.  At work, we refer to the folks who work in our immediate area as our office family (let's face it, the people you work with are like family, at least you see them more than your own family.  The shower was for a new office family member and on Saturday, was the shower for her and her partner.  The ladies received a lot of really nice things for the baby and more importantly, to me at least, I think they both liked my afghan.

While I hate working against a deadline (did I forget to mention that the afghan was finished with a day to spare, not bad eh?!?), I have two more projects with a deadline. The first is a hat for guy at work who is leaving at the end of June (such is academia). The next project is for my cousin who has commissioned me to make an afghan for his daughter who is moving away from home. The afghan will have an intarsia center, using a picture of their dog who is similar in appearance to Zeus pictured here. Surrounding the center will be a double crochet border.

Well need to get cracking on the hat so bye for now!
