What little free time I do have, I enjoy crocheting. I no longer try to crochet blankets, because I don't have the time for that.
This summer/fall I started doing dishcloths. This is a bad picture, but you get the idea. I think I will give them out as Christmas gifts.
Then I got tired of doing dishcloths, and came across a free pattern for a prayer shawl. Jerrod's grandma has been ill off and on and I know she is frequently cold, so I decided to make one for her. I used a really silky, satiny yarn. I think it turned out well and she seemed to really like it.
After that was finished, I thought I would make a poncho for Julia. She picked out the yarn she wanted me to use and I made it. About the only time I got to work on it was the 30 minutes during her swim lessons. After several weeks, I finally finished it. I had her try it on this morning. Excuse the pj's and bed head, but it was early yet. I made it slightly big so she could wear it over heavier clothes.
I am making myself one out of the same pattern. Although, I will be using different color yarn.
I have a few more projects I want to do, but we will see if I find the time to do them.
