Of course I have a bunch of small yarn scraps so I have started this scrappy afghan with the common turquoise joining row! Having fun with this little block. A very portable project too.

A Christmas Afghan Finish!
My talented son carved a crochet hook for me out of bone for Christmas. I decided to use it for a Christmas afghan I wanted to make. I had purchased the yarn already and was good to go. This is the most awesome hook ever! Smooth as silk and FAST!
I love granny squares! Chevrons are so IN at the moment too. So I decided to incorporate both elements into this afghan. It is really bright and Christmassy. I love the row of granny squares - that is ones starting point in the afghan.
You make the squares first and then attach them on point with the white yarn. Then you will crochet from both ends. I did not want to leave wavy edges so I filled in the white areas on the ends of the afghan keeping to the pattern.
Here is the crochet hook that my son made. I really enjoy using it and it is now my favorite hook!
