New Tunisian Stitch Graphghan CAL: Begins Now March 2010

[PAndrus]

OK - I think I'm going to be brave and try this! It'll be slow going because I'm already in the middle of an afghan for my son.

 

This will be the first one I've ever made - and it will be in SC. I'm thinking about trying a baby size blanket in just 2-3 colors...

Goodmorning ladies:

 

Well its a cloudy rainy day here today so I will take advantage and work on my graphghan...

 

I began to work on it last night and well i had to frog the one entire row cause i didnt see the marking and i had already done that row...None the less i frogged it and redid the right row so i feel like i accomplished something.

Well off to crochet in a wee...

Have a great day ladies..

hugs

I'm in! I'm making a blanket for my son, Lennon. It'll be the Beatles logo, so therefore, can't share the pictures/graph. I'm graphing it myself with some help from my grandma! I have to finish my other son's RR first, then I'll be on my way!!!

[moomooo]

Hello Mom2CoopnBelle:

 

Welcome and thank you for joining...

Just wanted to let you know you cant share the graph you are using cause of copyrights but Yes you can show us the work in progress and the completed afghan of the graph you used..

So please do feel free to show us your works when you get into making the afghan....

hugs

I am tempted to join in. If so I have a few WIPs that I have to finish first. But while I'm working on those, I'll try to figure out what I want to graph. Might have to start with a baby sized ghan so I don't get overwhelmed. I'll keep checking in to see what everyone is working on.

 

Have fun!

[moomooo]

Jennifer please do drop in any time you feel you ready to join and well since there is no rush and no time limit what better place to be than here ....

 

So when you ready just give a hollar...

I've picked my first pattern and deciding on how to make it...sc, tunisian or a "new" idea I've been trying...

 

[PAndrus]

I'm so excited to see everyone's work and read the techniques. I found a simple pattern in 3 colors that I'm going to try! I'm so ready to start this...

Can you direct me to a book, website, etc. that explains how to change colors. I think I'm going to try the single crochet method.

 

Thanks ya'll!

Hi ladies:

 

Got to update you on my elbow situation....

Went to see the othropedic surgeon on Tuesday and he has ordered PT til i got my nerve test done which by the grace of God and prayers the official appt was for April 8th but i got a call yesterday that there was a cancelation for today at 10am and so i grabbed it...

 

The neorologist didnt go into much details but he did say to me that ther is some nerve damage but that the orthopedic surgeon will discuss it with me...

 

I am schedule for PT starting Tuesday so please keep me in your prayers that if PT is going to make things worst then that the good Lord above interveen and that i get a call from doctors office before tuesday.... so i know what to do and what is going on and what will be done...

 

I will lay off the pc and just come on like twice a day or so and lay off the crocheting especially the graph ghan as i know i can hurt my self more if i try to do that one for now....

 

If any one of you ladies need me just email me or pm me or post here and i will get back to you...

 

Please keep on with your projects and progress and posting what you up to with the CAL so we can all still keep encouraged....

Hugs and kisses and i will keep you all posted

Lillibet

[TurtleLvr]

Lillibet, I hope that this is the right thing to make you feel better! Take care of yourself!

 

[WVUAlesha]

Take care of yourself girlie!

 

What graphing program do you have? If I like this...I might have to do more of it!

Hey all, I'm new, and I think this is going to be the first CAL that I join. I've been looking around for the past couple of days and decided that I would really like to try this one. I recently just finished a blanket that was done basically like filet crochet, so I know I can follow a graph. Something that I haven't done with any of my crocheting is changing colors, so I chose a black and white pattern that I want to start and finish before my hubby's birthday (which is at the end of May). He's a big fan of Elvis, so I just did a google search for a pattern and found one. It is copyrighted so I won't post it here, but I did get some yarn to start it today, and from what I've read, I can and will post pictures as I progress through the work. Anyway, thanks for starting this CAL, and I'm really happy to have found one to join.

[moomooo]

[Makinofastar]

I was thinking sc but found a tutorial for tapestry stitch and I was looking into that too.

[mama_crochet]

I'd like to join but I just can't do the tunisian stitch. All I can do is the sc stitch.. so if I can go w/ that .. I will join after I get all my yarn together!

[moomooo]

Welcome aboard mama crochet::::

 

Yes you are most welcomed here my dear so gather your yarns and keep on posting..

We are to have fun and learn from one another ...

 

Maybe some day i will try a full graph ghan in SC....

hugs

Lillibet

[mama_crochet]

I have done a few in sc... so I know I can do those... Now if we get the pattern else where ... once the pattern is done ..we will be able to post a picture of it, right? Cuz the one I am doing is a picture of my dgd.

[moomooo]

Dear Mama crochet:

To answer your question....

If you made the graph yourself of your dog then you can post the graph....

 

If you paid to have the graph done then I dont think You can post the graph, however the great news is that you can post photos of your work as you go along that is allowed..

 

So please free to start posting as you go along with your making of your graph afghan...

 

I know we will all love to see the works in progress...

 

Hugs

Lillibet

[mama_crochet]

Ok.. that is what I was wondering... like I said once I get all of my yarn together you will see me posting! LOL!!!

[Makinofastar]

I started it last night and decided to go with sc. Here is what I have so far. I can't work as fast a lot of people because I have a two year old and I'm finishing up my degree, but to get this done in two months I figured that I need to do at least four rows a day. So far it's just the white background, I haven't gotten to the pattern yet.
