Scrappy Crochet Update

After so many months, I dug out this WIP and worked on it yesterday. It still has a long way to go. Though it is barely noticeable, there is some progress from the last time. If you look closely, it is now 12x12 small squares rather than the previously 8x8 small square.
Still not decided what it's going to be. But I think it will look its best as an afghan. Any other suggestions?

A Few More RAKs

Over June, I received many more RAKs (Random acts of kindness) through the RAK group at ravelry. Each of these is so special because all sent me things that I needed and not available here. These will vastly improve the quality and scope of my craft, inshallah.
The first was from Indiajoy who sent me a set of DPNs, some circular needles and a ball of lovely sock yarn.

Then SueF from USA made me dizzy with her two package. One had some lovely purse handles, magnetic closures and a set of bamboo DPNs. The other had four ball of Patons Classic Wool in such gorgeous colors and a needle sizing card.

Then I got some Peaches and Creme and Silky Wool from zortified in the USA.

And lastly, Lyndystitches sent me a afghan crochet hook.

I want to express my gratitude to all of them again. I love all these sweet gifts.
