[fc1123]

Ok this thread is about making a list of WIPs that you would like to finish in October.Then you report back as you are working on crossing the items off your list. You get a when you complete an item along with that great feeling of knowing you finished something. We love to hear about and see finished projects! So good luck all I'll be hosting again

[Heather414]

Thank you for hosting again fc1123.

 

In October I want to complete the Sweetheart Ripple I started this month (Sept.)

[ratdog]

I started two projects this week that I would like to finish in October and I have a gift for DH to start while he is away at a professional conference.

 

So, in October I will....

 

Make Tardis Pencil cup for Dh's desk at work

Finish the first of two comfort packs for my friend for Christmas

Finish (?) the round ripple I have started for the Elementary school auction.

[They Call Me Bean]

I love this idea...

 

In October I will...

Finish putting all those saltines together for my School Bus Cuddle

Finish the Giant Rectangle Granny for my BFF's DD

Make those repairs to my DS's Granny Ghan I've been promising to fix

Go get my stash out of storage from the move.

Find the Snowflake Ghan peices - also somewhere in storage

At least attempt to learn how to do that ripple pattern I found, lol

(I'm a chicken...anything that doesn't work similarly to a granny, I stay

away from cause I'm really bad at not missing a stitch...but I CAN DO

IT!! )

I used to chat in a parenting chat room in Yahoo forever ago and my SN was Jellybean...It got shortened to Bean and kinda stuck. I am trying the ripple as soon as I get my hands on my stash, lol. It's the simplest pattern I can find that doesn't leave holes... My DS want's to know when I'm gonna make something without all the holes.. He says his toes get stuck

[fc1123]

Well I thought of my list for October it goes something like this to add:

 

1. weave in ends to dad's hat for his birthday even though he says he's not celebrating it I told him though that whatever age he decides to be he will still have a birthday

2. Then finish the scarf for his birthday and for the scarf of the month

3. finish making the waffles add butter and syrup to them

4. Then make a beanie in jamaican colors for the neighbor he'll give me the money for the yarn to make the hat.

5. Work on the lamb for the oldest daughter for Christmas

6. Then I'll try to finish the blanket for the middle daughter for Christmas

 

 

And you all are welcome I had fun with the first two and I'm having even more fun hosting this one.

[Titus2woman]

NNNOOOOOOO! I didn't get it all done in September~LOL! I guess some will carry over, and I'll mark finished items in red:

 

1.) Finish the bunting I started to match a bonnet and booties I've made.

2.) Finish the kimono wrap I started to match a hat and cowgirl booties I've made.

3.) Make some more infant hats.

4.) Make hat, soaker, and bootie set in RH Monet.

5.) Methinks I'm gonna need some more soakers!

6.) HIGHEST PRIORITY: Make two pregnant woman forms and two dishcloths as gifts for my midwife and her assistant.

7.) Diaper bag~will this happen? I'll probably carry around a Wal-mart plastic grocery bag for a while~LOLOL!

8.) Make some baby legs... Have seen a link using knee socks and am considering this over crochet....

9.) Make hats for Hazel and I in the same yarn as Frances's bonnet.

10.) Make 2 baby earflap hats w/ matching booties for friends ~washing them up today!

To finish this month:

1.The technicolor heart afghan

2.Stepsons hat-only needs spikes and eyes

[They Call Me Bean]

OK. I worked up a small sample of the ripple ghan and after threee attempts, I GET IT!! :cheerI'm so excited!!! Now I just have to go dig my stash out of storage.....or I could make a shopping trip:2nono....then again, I'd like my Husband to continue speaking to me so maybe not, lol.

 

I'm making a lot of progress on the Giant Rectangle Granny.. It's been chilly lately and I love working on something large that I can snuggle under.

 

The Quilt Ghan is another matter entirely. I used the ends I left to connect the saltines in rows, but now I have to find the rest of the yarn to connect the rows...

[Jempast]

2. Stay caught up on my weight loss afghan

It's been getting chilly here too. For once I am glad to have so many afghan to work on. I thought at least they will keep me warm as I work on them.

[Swayde]

I would like to get my 63 square afghan completed this October. I've got 26.5 squares completed so I am almost halfway there. It's reasonable for me to finish by the end of October, not likely, but miracles do happen. =)

[NikiG]

I haven't posted in one of these but I'm hoping if I do then maybe I will finish some projects faster because I feel like I have more motivation from all of my new Crochetville family...

 

In October I hope to:

 

Weave in all the ends to my sons afghan (he's 8 weeks old).

Weave in the ends to his beanie I just finished.

Make a beanie for my friends newborn.

Make new socks for my husband cuz he wore out last years pair.

Try to finish the afghan I'm remaking because like someone else had said there are too many holes in mine, and the colors match my husbands socks.

Line the messenger bag I made about 6 months ago.

I would also like to get the Sweetheart Ripple Afghan pattern and the yarn so I can start on that after I finish my other afghan.

I also want to find a good diaper bag pattern.

I know there is more I need to do but I can't think of it.

[LeslieG]

I'm glad to be back for October. Here is the September list updated. I added a scarf to it for the Scarf Swap. I had planned to get the Afghan done but didn't happen so it and the cardigan are back for October. I really do need to get more of those Mitts done too.

 

So here we go:

 

In September October I will:

1. Finish the Monet Pineapple Afghan - 24 squares, 14 Done.

2. Finish cardigan for Chrissy, my daughter-in-law. I now have the back and both fronts joined and started on the sleeves. I decided that instead of doing them separately and then having more seams to do (don't like seaming), I would just crochet them on. It's working out well and looks good.

3. Scarf for scarf swap.

4. More Ice Scraper Mitts for quick presents.

[ratdog]

OK! Last day of september!

 

I have a good start on two of my October projects and I will start the third on Saturday - unless i go out for the day.

 

See everyone Tomorrow October 1st
