My own personal challenge

I'm taking a short break from reorganizing and shuffling around my crafting supplies, especially my yarns. I can't believe how much yarn I have. I filled two more big, plastic storage bins, but could use a couple more to be rid of the cardboard boxes once and for all. My bedroom is quickly becoming my personal hobby lobby, but since I live alone, it doesn't much matter.



So here's my personal challenge: to make this Peacock Afghan with only yarn I already have on hand.

The colors will not be exactly the same, but I will do my best to make it look nice, but I have so much yarn that needs to be used. The most difficult part will be finding 42 oz of the same yarn for the background...it'll probably have to be white or off white.



If anyone's interested in making this, I found the free pattern here on Free Pattern.com.



If it turns out nice, I want to send it to my dad and his wife in Germany for Christmas this year.  That means having to get started right away as I have other projects, like finally crocheting this Creche that I didn't have time for last year:

If anyone wants to make this, you can buy the pattern at e-Patterns Central.com.



Well, I'd best get back to my chores and hope I can find that box of vaccum bags for my Bissell so I can finish up here and get on with my more important crochet projects. (I know, housework sucks!)
