Okay, I'm officially insane! This afghan is made from 750 yoyos (tiny circles). That is a king sized bed under the afghan, which was made over about a year. The joining pattern is posted on my free patterns page. Simple Yoyo Square

Terry Kimbrough pattern Detail
I've had my eye on this pattern forever! The pattern is by Terry Kimbrough.
Finally took the time to tackle it, and it was great fun!
Darrell's mom is the new owner of this afghan.
You can find the pattern in the book Crochet With Heart Best-Loved Afghans, page 58. Leisure Arts copyright 2000; ISBN 1-57486-199-9.
The pattern is also in booklet #3209 from Leisure Arts, "Best of Terry Kimbrough", page 47.

Granny sampler afghan - 10 colors and 38 color changes!
I loved making this pattern and will probably do another one sometime.

Hats for Crochet-a-Thon
Another group that I belong to, Crochetlist, has a monthly Crochet-a-Thon for charity.
The September 2002 charity was the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in North Dakota.
These are the hats that I made for the children of that reservation.

Mom and Dad's afghan
I made this afghan for my parents. It's very warm and cozy, made with two strands of yarn held together.
You can find the pattern in the book Quick and Cozy Afghans, from Leisure Arts; ISBN 0-942237-48-X.

Exchange squares

This is the baby afghan that I made for Grant, the son of my cousin Greg and his wife Jenny.

Comfortghan squares

Giant granny square afghan. I used 20 different colors in this one.
Katrina, age 2, loves the bright colors.

These are the teddy bears and balls I made during the summer of 2002.

I made these slippers for Juliette, Katrina, and me.

Exchange squares - I participate in several online exchanges of afghan squares.
Each person is assigned one or more partners for whom they make squares.
When I get enough squares, I'll make a friendship afghan.
