My Favorite Project

So for Secret Pal 10 we have been challenged to post about our favorite current project. Lucky for me, I just started a new project. See, Sunday night my little sister and I were sitting in our living room and we came to the realization that our parents are really moving away to the Carolinas and we can do whatever we want and nobody is going to find out because our relatives all live in Iowa or St. Louis for the most part. This is how we ended up watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Surprisingly enough he has a really normal family life. His kids are normal and not messed up like The Osbournes. Gene is one of my secret favorite rockers of all time. How can you not love him? Hello, the tongue. Anyways, I was watching the show and I have major problems just sitting still so I decided since I have all this newfound free time, I should embark on an epic project. I decided to use all of the bazillion skeins of Red Heart Supersaver Plum Pudding yarn to make A-dolly her very own pink and purple afghan because those are her favorite colors. She will be three in May and already has good taste. I am using my Addi F hook and half double crochet (my favorite stitch). It is 185 stitches wide because I just chained my wingspan. I am working on my tenth row which is awesome, I think. When the body is done I am going to make some kind of wavy border. She just brings me so much joy in the short time that I have known her so far and so I want her to have something that she can just wrap around her and feel the love in every stitch.

i know it's Red Heart but she is still little and so it needs to be sturdy and washable and when she's 26 and a half like me i will make her a giant Koigu afghan or something out of soy silk maybe. It would be really cool if I could finish it in time for her birthday at the end of May but it might not be finished until my birthday in September. LOL. It's highly appropriate that I started this afghan while watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels because I am the person that taught her to stick her tongue out like he does and I taught her how to dance like a rock star. I'm sure her Mom just loves me for that but A-dolly is just sooo cute when she does that.

I should also mention that this is the first afghan that I have ever made. I originally thought it was going to be a throw she could grow into (hee hee) but seeing my ten rows stretched out, It is probably going to be closer to twin size, which is okay too. Anyways, that is the story of my favorite project, the KISS afghan for A-dolly.
