Lots of knitting . . . no crochet . . . what's up with that?

I seem to be doing a lot more knitting than crocheting lately.

This is a square from the Oddball Sampler afghan I am making. I ripped this square out twice before getting most of it right. There are still some mistakes in it and I ran out of blue.

Another mystery knit-along dishcloth finished. This one is called Floral Eyelet and you can find the pattern at http://monthlydishclothoverflow.blogspot.ca/ .
