WIP Chess for my Brother

This last week, I started crocheting a chess set for my little brother, who is 16 and loves to play the game.  I have been meaning to make it for him for quite some time, and finally resolved that this year I would start and finish it.

He loves red and blue, so those are the colours his chess set will be.  So far, I have nearly 6 pawns finished as you will see in the picture to the left.

This will be my go-to project when I need to take a pause from designing my upcoming crochet barbie brides / bridesmaids / just-for-fun dress patterns.

What project(s) have you been meaning to do, and have set out to do this year?  Share with me in the comments below...
