July 2009 All Charity Weekend 7/16 - 7/20

nicolep · July 14, 2009

I have a saltine preemie ghan that needs to be finished....then there are scarves for the charity in my siggy....

Nicole - have you ever made a RR? They're fun.

We were posting at the same time! I haven't made a RR. I don't really like the way they look for some reason. Maybe if I tried one I'd feel differently.

judianne · July 14, 2009

Nicole, not everyone is into RRs at all...I happen to like them because they're non-traditional, done in one piece and can be stash busters if not made all in one color. A mindless project for in front of the TV,

But graphs are my first love:manyheart

missed last month but I'm ready for this month, I'll be working on chemo caps and baby hats for the local hospital

:clap I am :xfin that I will have more time than I thought I would... I am rearranging some "life" to grab some more hours this weekend.

I will be making some bookmarks for WIZ3283 (Tammy, I didn't forget you;)), so I can send her a nice package for her library.

If time allows, I'll see what else sounds like fun :shrug :huh :2blush

I'll see you all on Thursday!

Counting the time for the official start. I really do need to focus on those shawls. Even if I do no more than move them all along a tad that would be good to go.

CrossB4Me · July 15, 2009

I'd like to join in on this if it's OK. I was thinking of putting down my crochet hook for the weekend and picking up some knitting needles, though. I've been trying to teach myself to knit and thought this would be a good way to focus on practicing while doing something beneficial for my community at the same time. Our local Salvation Army needs scarves, hats, mittens, afghans for our local shelter, so I thought I'd knit a scarf to contribute. Please let me know if knitting is a no-no. Good luck to everyone this weekend!!

Patty, welcome! It seems that pretty much anything goes as long as it's for charity. I have to complete the last preemie afghan from last month first, then we'll see where I go from there. Only 2 hours and 17 minutes to go! :hook

Maybe 2 hours for you but its only 7:24 here.

This could be good for my stash busting this week... and I sure need the boost.

I am working on a boucle shawl/capelet now and boy is it warm. :sweat But it should finish today << my bad... so why didn't I get it done sooner >> and my other lilac one should be a finished object by Saturday.

I love it when a plan comes together. :yay

nicolep · July 16, 2009

Glad to hear things are going well, Darski. I can't wait to see pictures. I won't be actually crocheting anything until this evening, but I hope to get a couple preemie afghans done. Chat with y'all soon! Happy crocheting!!!

busy-bee-lmt · July 16, 2009

I'm starting this weekend by combining the last of the squares I made last month into a preemie afghan. I'm not sure how much crocheting I'll get done, as my arthritis is is acting up today. We'll see.

jessicagil · July 16, 2009

I got 2 scarves done before I had to take the middle one to the hospital. I'll post pics later. It is just so hot right now.

nicolep · July 16, 2009

How's it going everyone? I've decided to pump out a few preemie hats. I will work on the preemie ghan, too. I should be able to get it and quite a few hats done this weekend.

judianne · July 16, 2009

I've been working on finishing a preemie 9 patch ghan I started some months back. The 9 patch parts were done, now to make the squares to frame them.

jessicagil · July 16, 2009

here are the scarves... They are June & July scarves for the 12 months of scarves CAL. But they are going to Compassionate Creations. The phots are fuzzy as I had to use my phone.

The red one is actually darker - it is Ranch Red from RHSS. The white one is Baby Clouds from Red Heart.

judianne · July 16, 2009

Nice job, Jessie!

darski · July 16, 2009

I am just about to finish my capelet and a skein of yarn. But this is not great weather for holding shawls in your lap... even short ones are very warm.

I may yet have to switch to hats. :sweat

I still haen't gotten in to making many hats - my thing is graph ghans:D

nicolep · July 16, 2009

Nice scarves, Jessica

It's not too hot for me to crochet big items. I keep the house very cool! You should see my electric bill during the summer! :lol

CrossB4Me · July 17, 2009

The scarves look great, Jessica! Really soft and fluffy!

I am coming along on my knitted scarf. It's going slow, I think for 2 reasons. #1, I don't know how to knit :think and #2, knitting is just slow. But, I'm encouraged to keep at it. Thank you for letting me join in. I enjoy seeing everyone's dedication to their projects and their progress!

wiz3283 · July 17, 2009

I went to see the HP movie this morning so I was gone a good part of the day but I did manage to a couple squares done today and a few more bookmarks.

busy-bee-lmt · July 17, 2009

I've finished assembling and putting the border on a preemie afghan today so far.

Very nice scarves, Jessica.

nicolep · July 17, 2009

I'm home from work for the weekend and ready to pump out some preemie hats. I am going to see HP tomorrow, but other than that it's all :crocheting
