They already know!

They already know!

 

I know "crazy yarn lady", "crazy cat lady". Just wait until you can add "crazy caroling lady" to your credits

 

 

 

Jenn - You are not alone! Beth and I are right there beside you in crazy-ville

 

 

 

Nicole - Welcome! You are 353 days ahead of schedule

[redhead54]

Great about it being any way we want to work it. I hate pressure and it would be awful hard to finish, say, an afghan in a month if I'm crazy enough to start another one this year!! I'm still working on that stupid Babette for daughter 2. I don't think it's ever gonna get finished.

 

It's been fun looking at patterns the last few hours. I did make one of the Sweetie snowflake thingies. Cute, but don't think I want to make anymore and I'm not considering it my Jan. project.

Jorge and I went out on a date tonight!! I got the Jan/Feb issue of Crochet Today, and it is full of Winter Wonderland ideas! Take a peek- it is so worth it! Now on my list of WIM's are the amigurumi snowflake girl, Snowy Day hat, and Bunny Slope mittens. So many patterns, so little time.

Stacy, you have 12 months to make them. We will probably have more chances to make snow-related items with other carols. You don't have to make all of them today!!! BTW, I hope you and Jorge had a great date!!!

[_Stacy_]

We did have a great date, thanks! I posted about it on the other thread. It was so nice to just sit on the pier and listen to the ocean, instead of crying and whining.

I meant so little time, in general. It seems that as soon as I finish one project, 3 or 4 more jump into my head. Methinks there will never be enough time to finish everything I want to do!

[basjordan]

Hmmmm, Stacy, that's a tough choice, listening to the ocean, or to kids whining.... How ever did you pick the ocean??? I'm glad you had a nice, peaceful, relaxing time together. Jorge sounds like a keeper to me!

[nicolep]

Thanks for the welcome, gals. Now to come up with a January project. Hmm... I guess I'll have to go through a bunch of patterns today. Daggumit!!

[SlowCrocheter]

Sounds like you had a wonderful time. And your right never enough time to do all the patterns we want to do.

My kids already think I am Crazy!

 

Don't ask me why, but one summer when I was about 7 the song "Silver Bells" was going through the group I played with!

 

We were on a boat ride at the local amusement Park called "The Congo Cruise" and we started singing it at the top of our lungs!

 

Drove everyone else on the ride NUTS!

[Colleenka]

Stacy - the ocean sounds wonderful. All we have here right now is the sound of VERY cold wind (and maybe one whiny child ). It was -22 degrees Celsius when I woke up this morning

 

I agree, there is never enough time to make all the patterns. Nicole, I'm sure you'll probably find several WIM browsing through patterns today. I always say when I run out of things to crochet I'll take up knitting. Not too much worry about that ever happening

 

Ratdog - That is a great memory of Silver Bells!

 

Well, I may not be on-line much over the next few days, if at all. I'll be busy doing some important CAL research in a wintery wonderland. I'll be back to kick off January. Happy crocheting

That is cold! I was complaining about 15 degrees (so that's about -9.5 Celsius) this morning!! Try to stay warm!

[irishrose]

Good morning all! I'm still working on my snowflake square, since like a goof I used a G hook. It's very pretty though. One day it will become a pillowcase.

 

Colleen- Have a safe trip!

 

Everyone- Have a great day, stay warm, and happy !!

[crochet123]

Hi ladies. Just checking in. I did start on the Snowballs...I made the original pattern then decided I wanted to make them in different sizes. I increased it all by myself (major accomplishment for me without instructions..lol).

 

Everyone stay warm and have a GREAT day!

[CrochetedSass]

Can I still jump in? I want to get some snowflakes done for next years tree & maybe a few for gifts.

[RaggedyAnn]

Count me in. I love the idea of the carols. I've been making my list of gift ideas already. Now to make it fit the carol of the month. One thing I didn't get time to make this year was a couple of beer bottle cozies for my DS & DD's boyfriend. I need some flesh colored yarn & stuffing for parts of it. I wonder how I'll fit that in with the carols... lol

[irishrose]

Shelley and Lori!!

 

Shelley- Snowflakes are a good choice! Did you see idagammy's link? She found some cute snowflakes to make!

 

Lori- Flesh colored yarn and stuffing? Hmmm...wonder what that could be? That's okay that they don't fit in with a carol. If they're Christmas gifts, they work!

[a_stitchintime]

... I haven't been here, but I have been humming the January song while I get my cleaning, etc done before Jan. 1st.

 

I think I will be working on a pair of mittens next... I need them! :wlol

 

Hope you are all having a great day, and st-tt-tay-ing w-w-w-warm!

[ratdog]

My Mukluk pattern has shipped! (I know! Get with the 21st century and download it already!)

 

And I bought two Caron Pounders at Joanns today .... on sale!

[irishrose]

Oooh, very exciting! What color yarn did you get? BTW, I love the joke in your siggy! And my four-year-old DD does too!

Thanks for the welcome. Those flakes are just to adorable.

I have decided to make a set of the stuffable snowballs, I'm stuffing them with mini bell ornaments. I also have my scarf and will do some snowflakes as well.

 

I've attached a pic of the snowball I've made, hope that is ok.

[imanurse55]

Makeene- love the snowball ornament- and yes, of course, we all love pictures!!!
