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

[darski]

I finished that shawl that I had going and finished the skein by starting a hat.

 

The trouble is that I wasted about 4 hours looking at and trying patterns for a stole type shawl as my next project.

 

well I think I have a pattern to go now so on with the work.

I finished this preemie sized blanket this afternoon and ran it through the wash. I think I may have enough yarn left to do a hat. I have already started a second blanket.

[judianne]

Very pretty, Jennifer!

[pineknott]

I have one 8" square done and 30 " on a scarf done

[busy-bee-lmt]

Very pretty, Jennifer.

 

I'm about half way through the second preemie afghan.

[judianne]

I'm coming along on my preemie ghan, too. And my tote bag that's stuffed with primary colors is screaming at me to make a bigger kid's blanket!

I didn't know yarn had such a loud voice:D

The new shawl is going to take a lot of time It might not be the best choice for a charity weekend push.

Darski, your shawls are really pretty! :dreaming

 

I have done 12 bookmarks so far, and hope to spend a fair amount of time with in hand today....

 

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

I found a replacement inspiration for my long-taking shawl (that's a word isn't it?)

 

I am going to try this as a blankie in yellow and white - oh yeah!!!

Those are lovely, Darski.

 

Preemie ghan #2 is over half done. We were gone for about 5 hours yesterday which cut down on crochet time. I don't think we're going out today, so should do better. I'm using up left over yarn. This one is in two shades of lavender and navy. The first one was in soft red, soft yellow and dark green.

I have to start thinking outside the box with the preemie ghans as far as color goes. You're inspiring me!

Oerfect for a baby ghan! There's a published pattern with this spiral design for a big ghan, too.

Beautiful, darski!

 

I'm home from Harry Potter and ready to start working again. Good job everyone!

[jessicagil]

I got a baby sweater, booties, & hat set done yesterday. I started it the other day at the hospital. Last night I did another baby hat. And I finished up a bunch of squares.

 

Oh an I rearrarnged the kids room & living room while I was at it. And yelled at Time Warner for my internet being shut off.

[jessicagil]

I forgot to mention I'll take pics when the batteries are chanrged. I found the battery charger while cleaning.

Beautiful! I really do like the baby 9-patch.

[darski]

Totally great stuff ladies. I love to see all that we can get done with a little determination

[busy-bee-lmt]

Jessica, those are lovely!

 

Beautiful preemie afghan, Judy!

[judianne]

Thanks, ladies:hug

[nicolep]

One more day! Tomorrow, please start posting the items you completed. I’ll tally the results and let you know how wonderful we all did this month.

[pineknott]

1 6x45 camo scarf,1 - 8" square, 10 saltines

thats my effort for this month

[darski]

I am so completely and fully ticked. All the hours I spent on this spiral blankie and it is so ruffly that it is just plain ugly at this point

 

I knew it was bad on row 6 and I have not been able to fix it at row 16. I made the hat and have the sweater started but the blankie aaaarrrrgggghhhh! To frog or not to frog... whether tis nobler to ruffle...

 

 

 

Edited to add... I am now going to go sit in my corner and make a hat... that'll show that dumb spiral blankie :grump
