Red Heart 12 weeks of Christmas

[smokeyp81]

I did a quick search on this, and didn't find a thread started on it. If there is, feel free to delete this one...

 

Any way, I received this link in an e-mail from Red Heart. 12 patterns, one a week from now until Christmas.

I thought the same thing! It would take me a week to make a couple of those place mats!

Thanks for starting this thread! I got the email but had forgotten about it ~ now I have it saved to my favorites!

No doubt! It would most likely take me 2 years, that seems about my average for getting a blanket done! =) Okay I am not that bad, but I do get bored with them and set them aside and do smaller things until the urge strikes again, so they do take a long, long time.

for sharing the website. I agree with the others - just one week to make the afghan. No way!!!! Not only do you have to make all the squares but join them also. What were they thinking? I mean some of us have jobs, go to school, raise children, take care of a home, etc. It's not probable that we could do all of that and make the afghan in one week also. It is a gorgeous afghan though.

 

I also love the placemats. But I must admit when I first saw them they reminded me of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. I'm not sure which one but maybe "Suspicion" or maybe "Vertigo." I also thought you could make them up using patriotic colors (red, white,and blue) and then you would have the perfect decoration for the Fourth. Again, for sharing.

Thanks for the website link. I might try it for next year. I already have two things started for Christmas Gifts, a Travelgahn which I want to make two of them and a pleated purse which I also want to make two of and both patterns that I got from 'Ville members (Thank you very much). I'm sure the recipients will like them. I will post them when I am completed. If I get done with these ahead of time, I will work on some of them for next year.

Thanks for the link. The placemats are so cool! I might try them but I don't know if it will be for Christmas.

I think they were thinking that you could spend the 12 weeks (if needed) to make the afghan. That was why it was first

 

These seem to be "featured" items rather than new ones. I made a blankie with the placemat pattern a while back. I like this set up though. I should go and see if Drops is doing this for this year. I'll get back to you if they do

Shoot, I don't blame you! I know I'm not trying to wash all the dishes and pots and pans from cooking and eating that humungous meal!!!

I really like that granny square throw! I'll have to put that on my list of ideas for next year, though - I'm bogged down for this year already!

They need to start this project like 12 MONTHS before Christmas!!

I like that few weeks before Christmas, they'll feature items that (in their words) "you can complete quickly for last minute gift-giving."

 

However, knowing my luck, they'll still allow one week for projects that would normally take me two weeks to complete.

 

I am working on a Christmas present from the Red Heart web site that they are allowing a year to complete... the "Crochet World With Love" afghan. http://www.redheart.com/tabid/204/Default.aspx A heart afghan square a month for a year. DD saw the finished afghan in last Christmas's Crochet World magazine and immediately asked for it for the following Christmas.

 

At least, I know I can pace myself getting the afghan done before Christmas. And I'm only two months behind.
