I finished my first solo work!

Hi there,

I'm so excited as I finally finished the afghan I did for my sister's birthday. It was the diamond trellis one and it turned out great! It's the first one I've done totally by myself without help from anyone (from a pattern). I got the pattern from the back of a Red Heart skein. I think she liked it. I'm pretty sure she did. She's not a very demonstrative sister emotionally but she is the best as far as being caring and giving.

Also, last week, I went back to my mom's and helped her organize her new apartment and she let me take two more big tubs of yarn home WOW!!! So now I have plenty to start many projects.
I started a new afghan for my friend yesterday. It will be lavender and cream colored stripes and the pattern is from a Red Heart one online called "Rippled Romance". It's my first ripple ghan.
I'm excited to see how it turns out. I haven't changed colors in a pattern before either so that is making me a bit nervous, but excited too!

Well, that's it for now.
