Many colored afghan from magic ball



This is an afghan I am working on with scrap yarn that I have tied together to make a "magic ball" of yarn. I was going to donate it but daughter wants it herself. I will start a new one when this one is finished.

I have been crocheting baby booties this past week. I am hoping to get at least 30 pair done by the 1st of the year. I have also been trying different patterns. Not so boring.
