...........Good Afternoon all!!!

 

How is everyone today?

I have been crocheting like crazy these last few days... trying to get things done for gifts and swaps... and and and ... LOL

Its so neat all of you ladies that have taught your kids to crochet and/or knit! All 6 of my kids know how to knit and crochet!

All of their first projects were crocheted scarfs and knitted dishcloths! Its awesome! The most recent project was made by my 9yr old. Towards the end of the year.. he had an American Indian report/project to

do. He made this dolll ( I did the hair... he said it would look like a tornado if he did it....LOL)

and we made this Wild Meat soup together (made with real deer meat...which it called for!)

[ATTACH]22914[/ATTACH]

He got an 'A' on his project btw!! The class LOVED his soup and everyone was impressed with is doll!

I love getting my kids involved in projects! My daddy did alot of needle work... and they saw that when they were little... so the boys arent afraid of crafting... and actually very proud of what they create!

 

Keep up the good work ladies!

Spread that love of crafting and the love that goes with it when gifts are given!!!

 

 

 

Well....off for a coffee refill and getting some packages together!

 

 

wow I'm very impressed by the doll!! I can't even knit...

[x3melissa3705]

I would like to join this CAL. I don't want any squares, but I want to make some to RAOK.

 

That doll is so cute teakaycee, your son did a great job. (And the hair looks lovely. ) The soup looks good, too. (Been a long time since I have had venison..) Oh, and our oldest son knows how to crochet (although it has been a long time since he made anything.) All three of our boys have tried to crochet one time or another.

 

 

Welcome Welcome Welcome!!!

Very nice I can't wait until my kids are old enough to understand what I am trying to teach them. Your son is very talented.

Thank you. I was just reading your blog this morning, and I crocheted one of your Cue-Tip Cups. I posted it here (on Crochetville) under Kitchen & Bath.

Actually I guess I will take squares, 8 inch, anything/ any colors. (I like bright or rich colors.) But I will take anything.

[mandymae]

Thank you SO much Brendra for the two squares and the ADORABLE crocheted towel hanger! I already have the towel/hanger in the kitchen.

I bought this pattern this morning from Smooth Fox on Etsy. It was SOOO easy! Plus depending on what round you stop on the size can be varied. I made it the full 12". The only thing I would change is on the last 2 rounds instead of doing 3dc, ch 2, 3dc in the corner I think 2dc, ch 2, 2dc. I think it wouldn't have been so wavy. (Its for the comfortghan Nicole is making.)

 

 

[hhensler]

Oh, Sue...that is a pretty square!

[hhensler]

Tina...welcome to the CAL!

 

Brenda, THANK YOU for the square http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee239/hhensler_photo/001-3.jpg , and also for the crocheted towel hanger http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee239/hhensler_photo/002-1.jpg ...is that a pattern you can share? I would love to make a couple for my mom...

You're welcome. For some reason things look so much better when they reach their new home than they do here. This is the pattern for the towel ring.

To be more consistent I started wrapping 3 or 4 times around a 3 1/4 inch piece of cardboard. I make the tab 6 stitches wide and make 12 rows.

We've had a couple more people join in so anyone needing an updated list let me know!!
