I was finally able to find some time to take some pics of my current projects. Take a look!
P#3: This is the pattern where I use every scrap piece of yarn. I just tie the colors together and single crochet. I have a pic of one completed and then a pic of the one I'm currently working on. I also included a close up pic of how I let the knots show.
P#1: This is the one intended for my sister. For some reason (and I don't know why this is) but the camera can't capture the light green color. I think this is a really pretty blanket. I have my projects laid out on the billiards table, so they look really small to me... I need motivation to finish this one. It's so close to being done now. I think the reason I don't finish it is because I can't stand the thought of parting with it.
This is P#2: This is the type of blanket I really love working on. The random colors keep my interest. This one was started about a week ago.
Here is a completed version of random blankets I enjoy doing. The colors vary, but the pattern stays pretty close to the same general idea.

The plan is to use up all of my yarn in the next four months. We are starting to pack up our house in preparation for selling it - that includes my yarn and completed blankets. I really don't want to move a lot of yarn. However, let's be honest. I often get in the mood to visit my local craft store and cannot pass up yarn on sale or a really cool new color. So, the idea is to move as little yarn as possible.
OK, that's it for today! Talk to you soon!

Nice stuff!
On the non-scrap blankets, do you just crochet the new color or next spool underneath the stitch?
And I really like that v pattern. Is that difficult? The random colors seems to have been selected as they look so good together. Amazing how that works out.
;-)
No, I don't carry the old color. I drop it and then pick it up again on the next row. I hope you are referring to P#1 or P#2...
The V pattern is not difficult (which is why I like it) although I do count because each side has to be correct or the pattern will start to get messed up. The first row after the main chain row is the hardest. After that, it's all pretty easy - just count!
Thanks for the comments! It's just little ol me doing something I love! :-P
