In November I will

[ScoobyDoo0811]

WTG everyone on their accomplishments so far. I haven't made my list yet so what better time to do it than now.

1. Organize my yarn stash

2. Roll/organize 8 garbage bags of scrap yarn (half done)

3. Work on the baby RR (1/4 done)

4. Work on the scrap RR (1/4 done)

The 8 garbage bags of scrap yarn is what I bought the last couple weeks at the local Goodwill store. I really didn't need this yarn but couldn't resist the $1 or $2 goodie bags they had it separated in.

When I went home to TN this past weekend to finish packing I found the two RRs and I loaded them up in the blazer and brought them with me so I would have something to work on while waiting for the rest of my stuff .

My list may grow next week as I begin unpacking but for now this is enough. GL and happy :crochetingto you all!!!!

Complete baby blanket and matching sweater

Make a couple of stuffed toys(one is completed now...see the toys section for stuffed cow)

Complete two scarf, hat and mitten sets for my neices (Christmas gifts)

Make a cow toaster cover for my mother-in-law for Christmas

 

If I get all these done...I will find more lol

Diane-

what a cute bag, and WTG on finishing a 1 year old WIP!

 

Scooby-

you crack me up! I am actually :drool over here, thinking of 8 new bags of yarn to pet!

 

...I am about to start panel 2 of my "Tanner-ghan". It needs to be done by Thursday, the 12th, so I need to make 1 panel per day. Thankfully, the pattern goes up quickly

I will not be working on anything else related until I finish this project (There! I said it! Now I gotta stick to my word, right?! )

 

Have a great night all!

:D:D Glad that I can make you smile, my dear bestie!!!!! You have known me long enough and I think you have seen the pics of "what was the yarn closet" to know that I am a yarnaholic......I just can't resist yarn. Even if it means hours and hours of sorting, rolling up,organizing and untangling. I just can't help it. YES I am an addict. I need Yarns Anonymous and whatever 12 step program they may offer. NOT NOT NOT!!!!!!

GL getting panel 2 done. I am :cheeru on.

GL to the rest of you on your November Goals. I am :cheer you all on too!!!!!!!

Scooby...I remember very plainly :drooling over your closet! I have since claimed my coat closet for yarn:U

As you may recall, I, too am a "yarn snob":lol (snob sounds so much better than addict!) 1/2 of my attic is full, as well as various spots around my house! It took me over 20 years to build this stash!

I don't want no 12 step programs neither:grump:rofl

Yep I do remember that you are also a :yarnsnob . But that is ok cause at least I know that I am not alone :hug.

1) finish my two pillows.

2) add more to the RR that I stopped on cause I hate working on it.

3) make a couple pairs of slippers. (started)

4) finish putting together the tiny motifs for the Let Freedom Ring afghan.

[ratdog]

I started the prayer shawl for my neice last night. That will be my focus over the next few days.

 

Then I will try again to make the pedicure socks for my sister.

 

Yesterday I bought the thread and beads for the Gingerbread Doily from Crochet World.

[tahlara]

Thank you all for the comments on the bag.

 

I screw up on mom's afghan. So I have to about 20 rows or so. Later today, I will redo it. I hope to make a big progress today.

 

Beside that, I don't do anything else such sensation or the jester hat. See ya next week.

[CrochetedSass]

Thanks for the cheers girls. And wow your stashes make mine look pitiful. You should see my stash of paper crafting stuff though. LOL

Bummer:hug I'm sure you'll catch back up today.

:cheer:clap:clap to all. All FOs look great. My yarn stash is pitiful -- less than a bedroom closet full. I'm trying to work on it, but my hubby tends to actually notice the new yarn and the new charges on my credit card.

 

I am pathetic and have still not started in on those camis. Maybe tonight:blush?

[ratdog]

I have about 2/3 of the prayer shawl done. I hope it brings my neice some comfort. I will make myself get it done tomorrow so it can go in the mail Monday.

 

It is a simple rectangle using the original crochet 'trinity' pattern (1 row SC, 3 rows DC, )

 

Except, I am crocheting it the long way so it is a 162 chain for about 42 rows.

[kookaloo_starr]

I'm joining you for the first time this month - I need a boot up the bum to get me working on Auntie Maggies lapghan or some gentle encouragement at least. I NEED to get this finished, I love Auntie Maggie dearly but I'm wishing I hadn't agreed to make her a lapghan

 

1. Auntie Maggies lapghan (halfway there so far)

 

2. More squares for Mum & Dads afghan (15 x 8" squares so far)

 

3. More squares for hubbys hospital blanket

 

4. Purple shawl for my nieces holiday gift plus a hat or bag

 

5. Xmas tree filet and xmas decorations (2 sets)

 

 

I have loads of holiday gifts and a couple of swaps as well that I'm working on but they hold my attention better than the three things I have listed!

 

 

Apparently in November I will do none of these things instead I'll get ill and lose all interest in anything other than hot drinks,warm blankets and a good book!

[LeslieG]

Okay, I kinda fell of the boards for a while. A lot was going on and I was working on the scarf swap I just finished up. So not much got done in October. I had a great partner and we are going to try to get together next year. The Monet Pineapple is almost there. I am doing the border now. I thought I would have that one done in October but it didn't happen. It will be done in Nov. though.

 

In September October NovemberI will:

1. Finish the Monet Pineapple Afghan - 24 squares, 24 Done, working on the border now, almost there

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.

5. 2-Strand afghan for friends in North Dakota. It gets cold there.
