| Not difficult at all to do. The body of the doily is quick to work up. The flowers and leaves are done separately and then crocheted to the body. The worst part was just sewing in the ends (I hate doing that and can't stand blocking), but since the doily is not that big, it's manageable. |

I am finishing up a ripple-stitch afghan. I am working on the borders now. Hopefully I will finish it in a couple of days. I have at least five ripple-stitch afghans started, with football coming soon, I can sit and watch the games, and finish all the ones I've started.

Wow Lisa, that hat is fabulous! I'm just returned from a hospital horror show, but I think this afternoon I'm going to attempt a pot holder, if I manage to make something, I'll post it for a good laugh. I haven't crocheted in forever, but I love to do it. We shall see...

Karin:
The afghan looks like a ripple effect (7 rows up, 7 rows down) when held up. When I have time to figure how to put a picture I'll put one.

Karin, the ripple afghans are like what your granny made for the back of the couch. (at least mine did~lol) there are many free patterns online~just go to crochet pattern central and look under "afghans".
Awesome headpiece Cime!
