August All Charity Weekend 8/20 - 8/25

busy-bee-lmt · August 15, 2009

I am going to making pink 6" squares for EMedley. She is making a comfortghan for a friend who is going through some very tough times right now. I'll probably sneak in a preemie afghan or two, too.

nicolep · August 15, 2009

I'm using the weekend as my last push to get the preemie items done. I donate them on Xavier's birthday every year. It's August 29th. I'm going to do my best to get the rest of the 30 preemie hats done.

I have too much happening next weekend I feel badly for not being able to join you this time.

Good luck to all, and I'll see you next month:manyheart

I'll be doing baby items. Have a bunch of baby yarn here I need to use before it takes over!

Two days! :cheer

busy-bee-lmt · August 18, 2009

Two days!

:lol :lol :lol I must admit I've been tempted to start early.

nicolep · August 18, 2009

:lol I must admit I've been tempted to start early.

I have started early in the past. :blush

judianne · August 18, 2009

:lol I must admit I've been tempted to start early.

Me, too - but I have something else already being worked on, so I can stay strong and wait -- this time:lol

darski · August 18, 2009

This afternoon I am going to be stash diving to find all the yarns I can use for making the bedslippers. I don't think dark colours are good for a couple of reasons: they need bright and cheerful and the dark might bleed on white sheets. I have had dark yarns stain my :knit needles so I am leery of them.

I have been tempted to start early too but I have so much on the go that my time is more than filled up :rofl

patterncollector · August 18, 2009

I'm interested in joining in for this. I've been working on hats for our local city mission. Will see how many I can make during the charity weekend event. Will be tricky with dh home from work with a leg injury (not a bad one but enough to keep me running).

busy-bee-lmt · August 18, 2009

So far I've managed to restrain myself. I'm working on finishing a shawl at the moment and have two Christmas stockings that need finishing, too. Those should keep me occupied until Thursday. :lol :lol

Patterncollector, your situation sounds stressful. Guys are so bad when they are laid up. At least IMO. They want to be waited on hand and foot, but expect us to take care of everything as usual when we are sick.

darski · August 18, 2009

Well I am just saying that I didn't really start early... I had to test drive my yarn and the fact that it ended up as a slipper is entirely co-incidental. But I only made one so it doesn't really count. :rofl

I did have to test a yarn to see if the colour and the "ragg" effect would do what I wanted. .. it did :yay

Is it Thursday yet? :hyper

You are too funny! :lol

Grammy Roberts · August 19, 2009

I'm going to get in on this. My youngest son starts his Senior year at high school tomorrow so I took the next two days off work. So I will have some time to crochet. I plan on trying to get three blankets made for the NICU. I see how it goes.

Glad to have you along!

darski · August 20, 2009

Only about 2 hours to go... but who's counting :hyper

nicolep · August 20, 2009

Well, I've had a bit of a curve ball thrown at me. I have two wakes tomorrow evening and two funerals on Friday. My great Aunt Jo passed away and my step grandfather. I won't be getting started until Friday evening. Life happens I suppose.
