AAnt's afghan is actually being worked on. I'm using up all my old acrylics for it in a queen sized bedspread/blanket. The yarn skeins are nice and wonderful colors, especially for him, and I'm thrilled to have the excuse to use them all up (that whole "moved on/destashing" kind of thing) and I'm crocheting them one line at a time, either single or double crochet depending on how wide I want the stripe. It takes a while to do one stripe so I think he'll get it birthday of next year. It was supposed to be his birthday gift last year with this year as an alternate but I've since gotten realistic and discovered how much fun reading is. Thus, I'm doing a line whatever night I feel like doing it and enjoying watching the skeins slooowly disappear.
There's also been a sock-in-progress traveling around with me and I'm very excited about it. It had started as another plain toe-up sock in a lovely skein I had picked up a year ago while visiting LMSS. The yarn was so expensive I split one skein to make a pair of ankle socks but have since realized that if I throw a lace pattern on the top of the sock foot and leg I can spread the yarn out more. The Bee (SuperGirl) picked out the lace pattern she liked and I got to work. It's turning out beautiful and works wonderful with how the yarn's colors are placed.
