I am finishing up my project for the Charity CAL, and then want to get back to "threading":lol .... My problem is, who will be the recipient of it when finished: My mom, my MIL, a friend, or dare I keep it for me???? decisions, decisions!

 

I hope you are all having a great day!

Well I finally finished a baby one of these! I use Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and a "G" hook. I made a couple row changes because I didn't like the bobbles. Hope you all like it!

 

 

It's beautiful!

[tobybob]

I haven't had too much time to work on this again...

 

I was finishing my sis' birthday gift:

 

It's my own design

 

It's a beautiful design!

so I finished the bobble row. Where your drop the yarn... finally:yes. I put it down mid bobbles because I was a bit intidimated by it. And didn't look at it for like three weeks or more:eek and just now I just picked it up and finished the bobbles and picked up the first color like I knew how to do it all along... lol It only took me like 20 mins to do and I'm ready for the next round. I'm going to start it at work tomorrow. I like to take things to work to show off and I need to bring in this before it get too big. & A girl I work with saw a picture of it on my facebook and wants to see it in person. So to work it shall go!! I just wish I wouldn't have freaked out about that bobble part and just went with it. I would have realized that it wasn't hard at all... stupid me! I'll try to post a picture tomorrow of the progress.

I haven't worked on it too much because I was running out of yarn. I spent some time with Erin last night (sweetpossibilities) and she was so kind and bought me one skein of almost every color in my blanket!!! So I'm able to work on it again. I've been having some money issues lately So I can't wait to get going on it again.

How nice that you got to meet up, and that you got a very nice gift! Did you know each other already?

Yes we did. I actually introduced her to the ville. We met through a mutual friend a couple years ago, and we hit it off, she's a very close friend of mine. We try to make it a point to get together once a week and crochet, chat yarn, gossip, and drink smoothies and or frappes =-] Although this week's a double treat as she's comming over tonight as well. =-]

And tonight lol. My progress is slow going since I had to start over. I messed up somewhere along the way and I was missing some stitches. But I am doing pretty well I can't wait to get as far as Melissa is and then have it done !!!

[roundpeg]

I just received my book/pattern and I am eager to get started on this. I need to finish up a quick project, but I hope start this week. I am thinking jewel tones, I have an ombre and several solids I want to use.

You'll probably beat me. With work I don't always get to work on it that much. I had to stop taking it to work with me becaue it was getting too big.

Melissa, THANK YOU for taking the time out to go to WM and write down the colors of the yarn that you are using for your beauty!!! I'm going to go and buy my yarn soon and begin one for my brother as his Christmas gift. He will absolutely LOVE those colors. Hopefully, I won't keep it after it's finished... Hugs!!
