Purple Queen Crocodile Afghan

Second time doing the queen afghan. It was easy to start but I had forgotten how to do the posts for the crocodile stitches. I went online and previous afghans and remembered. This queen afghan is bigger than the red,white, black one.

Pattern:
Chain 221.
Sc in second chain and sc 6 or 5 lines.
7th line Dc 6 times, chain 1, skip 2, dc in same spot 2 times. Repeat across until you get to the end chain 1, dc 6 times, chain 1
8th line sc 6 times, Two posts do the following: in first post dc 4, chain 1, dc 4 repeat until end and sc 6 times chain 3
Repeat 7-8 until you get to line 110
Repeat 1-6 and then clean up your work by making an edge on both sides not the bottom or top just the sides to make them even.
The only thing I dislike about this blanket it's time consuming. Last blanket took 1 yr 7 months. this one so far has taken 3 months.

Claire La'bounty (Robyn's friend) had asked me to make one for her only using Purple and black.
I was only able to get to line 67 due to Claire not having any more money to supply the yarn. I gave her the blanket 03-20-2017. If she asks I may finish it. Oh well her choice and not my problem anymore. Pretty and heavy blanket.

C2C graphs

Not sure if I should make this a blanket.
So far I have three squares done and starting on the fourth. Amethyst, light blue, paddy green and yellow.

I found a butterfly. It is bigger than I thought for it will fit two heart squares in this center piece. I had a hard time finding the same size as the hearts. I may have to add a border to fit three as you can see in the photo.

Finished, I then put it on a cardboard background and hung it up in my kitchen.

First time doing a graph butterfly. I used Orchard, white and ocean yarn.
I finished the butterfly C2C, I didn't do any more hearts and left the butterfly alone. I put a shell edge on the butterfly.
