craft fair are starting

I am starting craft fairs for the year.   The first one is this weekend.     Then I have 2 in the month of April so far. So have been busy getting some knitting and crocheting done for it.    I have the first baby afghan half finished for my order.   Daughter is so nice to me and takes orders for my work at least three or four times a year.   So I now also have to make four towels for a gal.    She comes to craft fairs and buys them and when she needs more she gets me the supplys to make them.  
  I have been playing around making some jewerly it has been fun and enjoying making the earrings.   I never thought that I would like to work with beads.  It has turned out to be fun.  But cuts into my knitting time.  
Have gotten 3 bags crochet and ready to go for the shows.  Now I need to go get some balloons so that i can display them on saturday.   I will put the balloons in the bags and they will hold them up and looks good on the tables.

baby afghans

I have started the afghan that i was ask to make.   It is going to be in white and pink.  I may even have enough to make two by the time the yarn is used up.   I did the first five or so rows in white then started the pink.   Will get pictures when i get some taken.
I also have been working on the tweety afghan.   Trying to get at least two rows a day.  
Will only take me two months to finish it if i do the two rows each day.

They all have finished at least one dishcloth and have move right along to other projects.   I got one that started on an afghan and another one made fingerless gloves.   they all have caught on right away  It is fun to watch as they catch it and move on to bigger projects.

Central park hoodie sweater process

I almost have the fronts of the cph done.   got about two more inches to knit. Both fronts are knitting on the same knitting needles that way they come out even and are the same length.   I will also cast on and knit both sleeves the same way.   That way both of my arms are the same length and not short and long...lol
I am hoping to get this done before winter is done but if not will work on it during the summer.   It is a good project for summer as it don't cover my lap like an afghan would.
