Yar, 'tis crafting I be!


This is the pirate afghan I am working on for my wonderful Cindy friend. The origianl plan for it started more than a year ago but, silly me, I have never designed anything this...elaborate. My momma has though! She is a quilter but she can knit and she does like a good challenge (though she may deny that, but don't believe her) so I rangled her help in designing this thing. It was a bit hard to coordinate because she lives in Washington and I in California but through the marvels of modern technology we finally were able to settle on a pattern. Then my marvelous mother made this amazing graph and written directions! A number of things conspired to delay this project and now I am a mere two weeks from needing it done! Actually, it's more like one week because I am seeing Miss Cindy this weekend and I don't know if I'll have another chance to see her before I leave, because we live about 45 minutes from each other and she is crazy busy. So that picuture is where it is as of today and that is probably about 1/3 done. I'm sure I can finish it but I wont promise because I still have lots of other things to do.
