In August I will

[LeslieG]

Good job, Arlinka. It does make you feel good to finish something. I've gotten out of the habit of photographing things. I'll have to get to that again. If I remember how to do it.

 

By the way Christie I love that tag line at the bottom of your sig.

[LeslieG]

Oops, I forgot.

 

I did make some progress on the Scrumptious Scraps, soo...

 

In August I will:

1. Finish my 12 to 24 Point RR - 95% Done.

2. Finish my Scruptious Scraps - 25% Done - 40% Done

3. Get 10 more squares done for the Flower Patch Afghan - 34 squares, 10 Done.

I am glad to see this CAL continue! It really helps to keep me on track. This month I am going to continue working on the Redheart Afghan squares. Is anyone else working on these?? Also, I'm wanting to finish a couple of potholders for Christmas and put the finishing touches on Tote bags. Good luck to everyone!!

[amyelise]

I saw the June and July CAL, but it seemed to be in full swing by the time I read about it. I'm so glad there is another one for August!

 

In August I will...

1. Finish pink/brown granny afghan

2. Crochet 10-20 more "rows" on Christmas afghan

3. Do 8-10 more "rows" on yellow/blue afghan

4. Maybe start a tote (never tried one before)

 

Can you tell that I like to make afghans?

[CrochetinMama]

FIND TIME to crochet..I've been helping dh at work..However I DID make a HK ami...just need to fix/order eyes.. I MISS CROCHETING!!!

[kraftynkrazy]

Well, got both arms and the neck ruffle done and stitched on my clown. I think it is about half done... Now, I am going to put that up and work on the bed doll or afghan for a while.

 

Congratulations to everyone who is making progress on their August goals! I will be :cheer:cheer you on!

[LeslieG]

Got a bit more done on Scruptious. I'm about ready to call it a night though. I got a bit done on some squares for the Flower Patch when I was at the laundromat this afternnoon too. No whole ones, I work on 5 at a time so I don't get to stressed out constantly changing colors.

 

In August I will:

1. Finish my 12 to 24 Point RR - 95% Done.

2. Finish my Scruptious Scraps - 25% Done - 40% Done - 50% Done

3. Get 10 more squares done for the Flower Patch Afghan - 34 squares, 10 Done.

Well, I made a mistake in my afghan, I searched and searched for my mistake last night, but had to put it aside. I'll try to figure it out later this morning. Wish me luck finding that one "lost" stitch!

[KellieD]

Oh, Heather! :eekI've done that more times than I can count. Putting it aside was the answer. Now when you pick it back up the mistake will pop right out at you!

FOUND IT! Back on track!

[ratdog]

Both pairs of slippers are done.

 

Now I have to figure out what to do next.

 

I can't do the Ami's until the kids are back in school.

The ice scraper mitts need to wait until I can get scrapers (hubby going to PA in October maybe he can get some then)

So, that leaves the lapghans for the VA ....

 

Now to choose a pattern that looks good in red white and blue!

[probiecrocheter]

I am very new to this site as well as crocheting in general...very new...but I think this group will help me progress and keep on track with what I plan to crochet. By the end of August I would like to crochet a tote bag that I absolutely fell in love with on the lion brand website...hopefully if it looks decent I can make another for my mother in law for Christmas.

I am going to try to post pictures of my mint green baby afghan. (edit: yeah!! they came thru!!)

This was started in the July thread and now has finished in the August thread.

 

Thanks for looking.

[fc1123]

aw that is way too cute looks scrumptous sorry kept saying that when looking and yarn today I also said that the lavendar yarn from Bernat it was their Satin yarn called that yummy

[ratdog]

Nice job on the baby blanket, well worth the time you put into it.

[Heather414]

Congrats Arlinka on finishing up your baby blanket! And everyone for progress being made on their projects!

 

I muddled through some more mistakes in my project today (I must be in a funk or something), and made it through to the next pattern segment.

[LeslieG]

Congrats Arlinka, the baby blanket is lovely. I just love that mint green.

 

I got a lot done on the Scrumptious, I'm about 2/3rds done. DH and I went to a George Thorogood concert last night. Had a great time. He does a great show. I got a lot done on my next batch of 5 squares for the Flower Patch afghan. I was a 2 hour drive to the concert venue so I had time in the car.

 

I also spent some time trying out a square for an afghan for a neighbor. It has a pineapple pattern. I did enought to know I really like it and will be making that afghan too. Not until next month probably. Well, unlesss I finish up Scrumptious and have room.

 

On the down side the engine on my van went yesterday. I knew it was going to happen I just hoped it would last until the end of August. Oh well, guess we'll tow it to the garage so they can look for a new engine for it.

[amyelise]

So I have been trying to get in some crochet time. I managed to get 3 "rows" (actually 2 rows each, just the same color) done on my Christmas afghan. I have been putting it off because I have some many ends to weave in and I try to do that as I go. I also got a "row" (actually 5 long rows, 3 in one of the main colors and 2 of my other color) done on my blue and yellow afghan. I'm getting exited about getting these done!

[Arlinka]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments on the mint baby blanket. The Grandma to the future new baby that this was made for works with me and when I gave it to her on Friday she was so surprised!!! She is giving it to the future Mom this weekend - baby is due Sept 5.

 

Keep going everyone !!!!!

It feels so good to get something finished and out to where it belongs !!!!!

Now onto the next item.

[fc1123]

Alright here is one of the things that I have completed this month a scarf so here's the picture enjoy

[ratdog]

I'm about 1/2 done with the first VA lapghan. I may need to buy some yarn to finish it, we'll see.

[Arlinka]

fc1123- great scarf!! Love the colors. I have not done scarfs in crochet- only knit. I really want to try one after looking at the lovely one you made.

Thanks for sharing.

Riddle Me This Batman ......

 

I am making a lapghan with two strands held together.

 

I have two 1 pound skeins made by the same manufacturer....

 

I am happily crocheting along and I run out of one color while I have enough for probably 3-4 rows with the other color !!!!!

 

Arrrgh! So frustrating! Now I have to go buy more yarn and the whole project is on hold until I can get to the store.

I've had that happen to me as well. Maybe one color weighs more than the other?

 

I made some good progress on my afghan yesterday. Finished up another pattern sequence. At the rate I'm going though, it won't be done by the end of August....
