The ~63~ Club

[lmm777]

:clap:clap

 

did you order all of them?

I'm still thinking about getting the one I don't have.

I got out of work early today, and thought about going over to Michaels and Hobby Lobby to see if either of them had the book in stock. I ended up going home though.

 

I ordered 3 of the 4. #555, #3961 and #4423.

[q8_crochet]

ok ive decided to order the old one and the second one which u were gonna work on it on the first place

we can never have too many crochet books can we???

[q8_crochet]

ohh just wanted to note

if u didnt find the 63 sampler stichs squares

go to amazon . com and u`ll find it there

actually there is promotion if u did order 2 or 3 of the books

[q8_crochet]

ok i know ive been talking alot so i just wanted to say the way im gonna choose my squares from

ill choose nomber of colums from book 1 and the rest colums from book 2

for example : colums 1 , 3 , 5 ,7 are from book one

colums 2 , 4 , 6 from book two

if i faces any lacy patterns ill do them from the cable stiches afghan

for example found a lacy square which has number 35, ill look for the squares 35 from the cable afghan and do it instead

This is because i want it more solid and warm

 

hope that was easy to understand

in this way ill use all of the 3 books

I just ordered the book that I don't have yet, so I will have all four books to choose squares from.

Great Lisa !! You can start then whenever you want !

 

Athba-we'll be glad to have you along with us. Did you find your other book ?

 

Cindy- which book are you missing, the last one ?

[JulieKay]

It sounds like you guys are all getting your books together and plans in place ! This will be fun .

I am kinda leaning towards maybe some light browns and greens. I'll have to see what I come up with .

 

Anyhow, now you are making me want to order some more books, so off I go to amazon to see what I can see....

[q8_crochet]

julie

[q8_crochet]

julie

greens with browns will look awsome i like the combination

to get away from it mix them in your squares

[Gardener]

 

Cindy- which book are you missing, the last one ?

 

I think it's the last one, it's the sampler stitches one that you linked to in the original first post.

[JulieKay]

Athba-

I'm glad you got to order a new book since you sound excited to do this with us. I hope it gets there soon. Did you say you already have yarn ordered for it ,and if so, what colors did you decide on ?

 

Cindy- yes, the one I mentioned at first was book 4 .You oughta have a really good selection to choose from with all 4 books !

[1wani]

Hope you are all using the link here when you order from Amazon. Every little bit helps.

[JulieKay]

Thanks for reminding us, Wanda-- I do order a lot from Amazon, but usually forget they have an amazon link in here .

[judianne]

Jules, that Amazon link is only a couple/few months old, if I rmember correctly.....

[JulieKay]

ok,thanks-- I just never remember it's here ,and to click on it first before ordering in there .

[winterlights08]

I just ordered my book, the first one, because it was cheaper and I think I like the solid squares better. What kind of yarn is everyone using? I'm thinking of using Cotton-Ease, I just completed a ripple in Cotton Ease and my family fights over it .

[lmm777]

My other 2 books are out for delivery!!! I'll take a look at them when they get here (probably this afternoon) and see how I want to work this.

[JulieKay]

Morning ladies !

 

Erica--- I just picked out my yarn. I hope I won't be sorry but I chose simply soft ... I like the yarn a lot because it's so soft, but it is also not quite as easy in some ways to work with ...a little slippery, etc. I don't know, I was jus in the mood for something different and couldnt decide what to get ,so I got it in several shades. I have no clue how it'll look together, but just decided to try it and see what happens .

 

I've never worked with the yarn you mentioned so not sure about it. We dont have a big selection here where I live .

 

 

OOh, Lisa I bet you are excited to see your mailman come today ! Let us know how you like the books !

[lmm777]

Where in Ohio are you, Julie??

[kittyloverdeb]

I picked up my yarn at lunch today! I went with Vanna's Choice in Lamb...it's a very pretty (and soft) cream color. Now I just need the book and to finish my felted purse for the Olympic Games!

[Gardener]

Julie, I think Simply Soft will make a wonderfully soft afghan. I use it a lot for baby blankets, and it seems to me that it is less splitty than it used to be.

 

Deb, your yarn sounds really pretty.

 

I am pretty sure that I will just continue with the Red Heart SS Aran that I originally started my afghan with last year. I'm not crazy about the yarn, but I like the color. I also have a lot of the super saver in frosty green. I don't know what I was planning to do with it, but there are 5 or 6 skeins in my stash, so I might use both colors.

[JulieKay]

Lisa

I'm up near Akron . I'm not sure I know where you are. I just noticed your town name. Is that anywhere over near the Martins Ferry area or am I mixed up ? I have some of my favorite cousins over that way .

 

 

 

Deb- your yarn sounds really beautiful .Can't wait to see it made into our afghans !

 

 

Cindy- thanks , I hope it doesn't split as bad . I do like it in some ways, but other ways I don't . I like how soft it is ,how easy it slides while working with it ,and the items usually turn out so pretty .

The part I don't like is that it does split ,it seems slippery when putting it together or adding new yarn on ,etc ... I don't know how that will work out, but I was in a hurry, didnt feel like standing there for long ,so just started grabbing a bunch of it . We'll see how it comes out. I know I have a big old pile of it .

 

I like the RH for afghans . It's always really sturdy feeling and long lasting ,so it's always a good bet . It does tend to feel scratchy, more so in some colors than others, and why that is, I have no clue unless it's different dye colors . Anyhow, I think the aran and frosty green would be beautiful together ...maybe even a little linen or something thrown in as a third color ...
