In June I will...

[Colleenka]

Ninn, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is getting a bit off track . Working only on a ripple blanket was driving me batty! I need a variety of projects, not just a ripple! Crocheting is my hobby, I should enjoy it . So, I've started a new WIP (shrug) and the ripple will get done...someday. Because of this CAL it is farther along than it was June 1st!

 

WTG everyone on getting things done!

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who has several projects going on at once I started piecing my cardigan from the Crochet Today magazine but haven't finished since I need actual help with it and I haven't finished my beret because I also need help with that so now I'm working on a lapghan for my grandmother's 90th birthday

I hit a snag with my Doilyghan as well. I have to finish a red scarf before July 6th so that has to be my new priority. This pattern I am using (pineapples) is charted but I have to make a filler portion myself and then repeat the pineapples at the other end. (Yah know... there is an alternate universe where that makes sense )

 

 

I will work a few sts on my ghan but it just can't be the focus this time out.

[TexasSugar]

I think we are all guilty of starting something new with out finishing something else. Other wise none of us would have more than one WIP at a time.

 

Sometimes we just need a change, and sometimes things come up to distract us from one thing to another.

 

I finished my blue squares. Tomorrow I'll be sewing in ends on them. Woo Hoo, so much fun!!

[Arlinka]

OK.... I am so happy I am not the only one that is not able to do what I said I would.

I am still working on the oversized baby blanket but I will NOT be able to get to the other things I planned to complete this month. No way !!!!!!!!

I think the main thing is that SOMETHING get finished - even if it is just one WIP that makes it out of our baskets.

 

My crochet abilities are not what I thought they would be at this time in my recovery so it is all going slower than I like or planned or expected.

Sooooooooooooo....... I will be happy finishing my 1 project and still making baby hats in-between when I am not feeling well.

 

This CAL has really helped me stay focused- I don't think I would complete anything if it weren't for everyone here.

Thanks !!!!!!

You know, I almost let myself get off-track yesterday and today. I was bummed to learn that projects I was working on for the county fair cannot be submitted to the state fair. So, I am left without an entry. Time to get to work on something entirely new so I will have something entered and be completely stressed out!! I have never entered anything in a fair before, so I was excited about the thought of doing it. Then it dawned on me this afternoon, I don't need to have an entry in both. Why stress out to have just anything to enter?? So, I'm not going to concern myself with the state fair this year, just concentrate on the county fair, learn as much as I can, and prepare for next year. Having never entered anything before, I just might find out I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to crochet and just make a fool out of myself letting the entire state know!! I much more relaxed now

 

Anyway, the E-6000 seems to be good stuff, so I'm drawing a line through the Chakra Purse. Here are a couple of pics of the completed project. Hopefully she will be good enough for the fair

[Colleenka]

Beautiful purse, Patti! Way to go!

[TexasSugar]

Love the purse! Great job on it!

[christinanthemum]

I know I'm late joining, but with school having just let out last week, I'm behind on a lot of things...

 

For June, I need to complete...

 

1- scarf for lil cousin

2- baby afghan - 12(?) granny squares

3- baby dress from Crochet mag. (start)

 

Can I do this in 14 days...?

 

Lovely purse! I love the bobbles!

[Arlinka]

I did it!!!! I did it!!!

 

I am done with my oversized baby blanket and just need to do the edging. I am going to show my edge proposal to the mother-to-be and see if she agrees or what she wants. Once the edging is done I will post a picture.

 

And I still have time to do more from my list this month!!!!

 

Patty- beautiful purse!!! I am sure it is a winner !!!!! Keep us posted.

Congrats on finishing your WIP.....What a since of accomplishment :hug

[TexasSugar]

Welcome Christina! 14 days is long enough to get at least something crossed off the list.

 

And for all of you that got side tracked from your original list, I'm in the same boat, and I think it is completely normal. My goal for these thread was to help encourage myself and others to complete something this month. I do plan to do this again next month since I will have a WIP that will have to be done by the end of the month. So I hope ya'll come back and join me for that.

 

Arlinka, woo hoo!! I can't wait to see the finished product!

 

I just finished sewing in the ends on the 49 blue squares. That leaves me with 97 more to go. I'd really like to finish this thing this week, but I'm not sure that is gonna happen.

 

----- ----- -----

Just wanted to add that I finished another 20 purple squares this afternoon. So now I have 69 totally completed squares. Woo Hoo! I have to go get ready to teach now, so I won't got to play with squares until later tonight. I am hoping though that I can finish the other 19 purple squares this evening, if not more.

[TexasSugar]

How is everyone doing? Making any progress?

 

I finished the purple squares last night and started on the teal ones today. Right now I have a total of 98 squares completed with only 48 more left to go. I'm on the down hill run now. Woo Hoo! Guess I better start thinking about how I will be attaching them all together.

[TexasSugar]

I think finishing 6 out of 13 items is awesome, even if you started new things!! Congrats!!

 

I've only finished 1 out of 3.

[christinanthemum]

Awesome Kelly!

 

Trace, I feel ya, I finished the scarf - 1 of 3.

 

However, I did start on a patriotic wrap/shawl and am making a few little things as I want to open a booth at the local flea market later this summer and need more little things to sell...

[TexasSugar]

My squares are ready to start sewing together, haven't worked on them yet, since I was baby sitting today, but I really need to get them started so I can get it finished!

[happy stitcher]

I've done 6 squares (out of 12 planned) for my bag, 3 daisy squares (out of 15) for the afghan, and no rows on the graphghan (out of 45).

 

I'm trying to do one daisy square a day, and I haven't gotten today's done yet....actually, I haven't even started today's yet!

 

In my defense, it's been a crazy day, and I haven't had much time to rest at all. After I get DS off to his backpacking trip tomorrow I may be able to find the time to get caught up! So after about 2:00 tomorrow things will calm down - then Sunday DH and I are driving to lunch about an hour and 1/2 away for Father's Day. He has to go out of town for work, and I'm going to follow him until we get to a restaurant he likes. We'll eat, and then he'll get back on the road and I'll go home. Sunday night will definitely be crochet time!

 

12 days left (counting today)!

[Ninn]

YAY!! Not only did I finish my charity donation travelghan, but I actually got it delivered on time! And I still have almost 2 weeks to finish my list! WOOHOO!!!
