What's Knitting... What's Crocheting...

Camouflage Star Shaped Afghan for a boy...

Added some contrasting stripes... the outer border will also be in bright blue. I call this shade of blue "Cookie Monster Blue".

Chasing Rainbows... great project for TV watching/listening...
Loving my projects for The Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado.  The top afghan is a crochet project in Bernat brand "Camouflage."  After looking at this yarn for so long, I've decided what it camouflages!  I'd love to hear what you think I have in mind.  ANY GUESSES?   I'll give you a hint:  It does NOT camouflage something naturally occurring in the great outdoors.  When I have it all done, I'll tell you what it reminds me of.  Hee, hee! 

I am knitting up the second blanket in a various skeins of Plymouth Encore Worsted yarn which is 80 percent acrylic and 20 percent wool.  It is very soft!  The pattern is called "Chasing Rainbows" and is knit from the center out. It's great for "Stash Busting" because you can just knit until you run out of yarn. I've run out of the pale green but still have quite a bit of the lavender blue; I have quite a lot of the white and the variegated yarn.  This pattern is really simple and it creates a very wonky looking square.

Both look great! I really like how you added the solid blue stripes to the camo star... really adds to the blanket! Well done!
