In November I will

[Swayde]

Beautiful work! The doilies are absolutely stunning! How do you work so quickly with thread and tiny hooks? I once made an eyeglass case with thread and it took me almost a month!

 

 

I don't know actually. I love working with thread. I can work with thread a lot longer in one sitting than I can with yarn. Yarn makes my hands itch and sweat so much that I can only do a little at a time, but thread I can spend hours working on at a time. Wait till you see the monster that is my Christmas pinwheel doily hehe. It is about 20".

[tahlara]

Wow, I really love the doilies.

 

I am home after work. I don't have to do anything for an hour. Time to craft!

[a_stitchintime]

Barbara Anne, your doilies are beautiful!

 

Tahlara and fc1123, I hope your "mojo" is back soon!

 

LeslieG - you are a FAST !

 

JanineW - ... I wish that visions of WIPs dancing through my head counted as time!

 

Everyone is doing so well this month!

 

:cheerKeep up the great work!:cheer

I decide not to do the shoe rug this year. My father discovered the reindeer pattern. He ask me to make it for next year's xmas. I am not sure if I want to finish the jester hats (Save them for next year's xmas ?). I still want to finish what's left of sensation skeins.

 

Last two things are new. Mom's socks might be started in December, along with the rest of jester hats.

Well worked on Santa today I have the arms finished and the other day finished putting the legs on him so now all there's left to do is put the face on the hat,mustache, and the eyes and that will be finished doing it piece by piece. I wanted to get the blanket done but that might be next month's project we shall see.

Well, I need to add a Prayer Shawl to my list. That Gingerbread man doily will just have to wait!

 

I bought the yarn today (yes I went out on Black Friday but I was back home in an hour) so I will get started on it ASAP. I want to finish it before school starts again on Monday.

[tahlara]

Pam - Way to go!

 

I am half done with third scarf. I expect to finish it, along with other two scarves that need to be casted off. I also like to start fourth scarf as planned.

 

If things work out as planned, I should get all scarves done by Monday. Then I should be all good for November even if few things have to be moved to December list.

[fc1123]

well on Monday I'll start the December thread.

[tahlara]

Ok, I will check in.

 

I finished 3 scarves. I will start last two tomorrow (last two items for Nov).

[CraftyMel]

I finally worked on the stole for my bff's ma. got quite a bit more done but I ran out of yarn so I have to dig some more out of my stash I know I have some more of the same kind just have to wind it(unfortunately by hand). I decided to make it a bit longer.

[Swayde]

Went out of town all week for Thanksgiving and didn't get a single thing crocheted or even worked on. I am now having trouble finding the motivation to get back into it even though I only have about 3 weeks to finish up Christmas gifts that require shipping. Doh!
