This colorful afghan was made from Vanna White's, Vanna's Afghans A to Z. I'm sure you know Vanna from Wheel Of Fortune. Can you believe that a celebrity would have a hobby such as this? But in her book, she says that she keeps a crochet project going behind stage at all times. She has made several afghans for her celebrity friends. Her grandmother taught her to crochet.

Here's a handbag that I made using squares left over from the afghan above. I've really enjoyed carrying this bag. I've received many compliments.

The bag is lined with black cotton fabric with a zipper closure and has a 2" wide shoulder strap.

I belong to a couple of internet crochet groups. They are a fun group of ladies that exchange recipes, crochet patterns, and tips as well as just a group of ladies that just like to chat.

This afghan was made using squares from a "Valentine" square exchange. We joined the exchange and then we were paired up and exchange squares over a period of months. It consists of 56 6" squares of various shades ranging from pinks, reds, and whites to burgundy, mauves and natural squares. It was a real challenge putting the afghan together but I thought it turned out rather nicely.
