Door Hanger nearly finished, another afghan

Well the door hanger is nearly done. I finished knitting both the front and back and I have done the duplicate stitch on the front. All that is left is to make the handle and sew the front and back together.

I am nearly finished with another afghan. This one is a dark red shade. I made this one as one piece, so it is taking a bit longer. But I prefer the look of it to the one that I had to put together afterwards.

Then I guess I'm going to start whatever Christmas projects I'm going to do. They will be small this year though. I have too much school work for large projects.

Finished the afghan and started the door hanger

I finished the afghan over the weekend. It has been washed and has all the ends weaved in.
Thank goodness it is finally finished. I started the door hanger. I finished the front, now I have to do the back. That shouldn't take long. I have little less than a month to work on it. I'm sort of doing the cheaters way. I'm going to use duplicate stitch for the letters instead of intarsia. I don't have time to learn intarsia at the moment. I tried it out once a year or so ago and it did not look good. I'll save that for after the semester is over.

Afghan and door hanger

I haven't finished the afghan yet, I became lazy before I left to go to the bridal shower and stuff out of state. I'll finish it this week.

Then I'm going to make a door hanfer for my sister. I found a pattern on Knitty which I thought would be a cute bachelorette gift that would use up some scrap yarn I have. I think I will make it in red and black, and then maybe modify the pattern by picking up stitches and doing a border in eyelash yarn. But I'll have to see if I have time, since I will be busy with school.
