What is on my knitting needles?
A dishcloth.
What's on my crochet hook (s)?
The baby blanket I started many years ago (sigh), and I need to finish it. I left it last on the list on purpose. I can work this project on-the-go, on the porch, etc. in hot weather. It's truly a lesson on what not to start when I have so much going on in my life.
I also have a bathroom hand towel in the making. Just a few more granny squares to make.
What's on my afghan crochet hook?
A pot holder. In bright magenta. I tried to crochet this while I was in the hospital (towards the end of my stay), but the medications made me too loopy to concentrate.
What's on the tatting needle?
Nothing. I have been wanting to get my crochet threads out and get a few doilies made. I'm trying to have diligence, and not start any until other handiwork is completed.
What's on the embroidery needle?
Nothing at the moment, but I have a set of towels that I have ready and washed. I would like to get a set embroidered for my soon to graduate Vet-tech daughter (one more year of school). I also have plans to crochet her a set of cup coasters, but need to shop around for the color of yarn she requested.

I found your blog a few days ago and I'm enjoying your archives :)
I love that dishcloth pattern - so simple but lovely. Beautiful colour too.
A feast for the eyes! I love all your projects and I have been organizing my patterns and projects too...Spring cleaning is in full swing here! I threw out a bunch of paperwork I went through...that is the hardest job...going through paperwork. I think it is because it is so time-consuming and yet it doesn't really look like you did much...lol!
I love both baby blankets and making your own towels? Do you use cotton yarn for that? Sounds like a great idea as I need some new towels. I too have been trying to "finish" up projects....any and all! Take care!
A long long time ago, I had set a discipline for myself not to start one project until I'd finished the one before. That was successful for a long long time. Then we moved and a project in works got lost in the shuffle. I started another, then the first turned up, and I've been out of that discipline ever since.
I need to get back into the discipline again though. Heck, I just need to get a project started. I haven't quilted, knitted or crochetted in a long time, and there are many many babies I need to get afgans or quilts to.
Have a great weekend ya'all.
God bless.

Thank you for visiting Aurora. And thank you for the compliment.
Sam I Am, I used cotton for the towels. Way back in the day, when a yarn company went out of business, I purchased cones of 2-ply (thinner than the cotton I use for dishcloths). I have been using it up to make towels.
RB, I have been wanting to learn to knit socks for years, and have not had the time. I also have wanted to learn how to make baskets. One year I signed up for a basket making class and had to cancel for some reason. One of these days (I keep telling myself).
