My summer projects; knitting, crochet & and crafts

I have always liked to do arts & crafts. Have knitted and crochet, this and that. Never had a strong desire for knitting or crochet until a few months ago. I find it very therapeutic for me. So this summer I have decided I would start (and finish) a few projects; Scarf, Baby Receiver Blanket and a Afghan made of diferent colour yarn squares (for the Canadian winter evenings), also good to use up those bits of yarn that have no more use. So, to make it more interesting I am posting photos of all projects as I go along.

PS: When you only have a few yards of yarn left, don't throw it away! Crochet a chain with it and wrap it around an index card. Use it to tie a "bow" on a package instead of using regular ribbon. Your you can make a toy (like this one I made) for a child to play with. You can mix and match colors, and the variegated yarns really look nice!
Fabric crafts:
With some of these fabrics I will make(I will try)toys suitable for babies and toddlers..... surprise, surprise!
