Mother (denise) where are you? You don't visit in here, you don't phone, are you at least crocheting?

 

I haven't worked on my WB in a few days, hopefully might get back to it soon.

Hi all

 

I have being crocheting my black squares,but it gives me bad headaches. I am still determined to get them done.

 

I am amost quater way:clap

 

Tracy on Friday talk me through on how to put a photo on

 

[Misa]

Great progress Denise!! I find that bright light helps with dark squares. I just received one of those nifty neato light up hooks as a gift that I can't wait to use on dark yarn

[Everyday Crochet]

I left my camera at my sister's house yesterday so I don't know if I will be able to get it before Friday's picture post.

 

I have finished all the white and purple squares and have half of the blue ones done. I did take a break the last few days to work on the eight pocket tote. I would say I have about half of the squares for this cuddle done.

[denisethorpe]

Cara I have never heard of those hooks, I am for sure going to get one asap no matter how much it costs

[Skysmom]

Hi Ladies. I don't know why I get so nervous about going to the doctor, but it's over with for now! This is the first time our Internist took care of everything; since I had a hysterectomy at age 26 it just seemed silly to keep going to a gyn. when he can do it all in one visit. DD met me for an early lunch and I'm home for the day. Gee, is that too much information or what?

 

I'll be back after I catch up on posts.

[tracysthings]

hello mother glad to see you back. Will have to look into the light up hooks. Michelle from crochet group has one, looks cool.

Theresa, it sounds like you're making super progress!

[Skysmom]

Hi to Tracy and Denise. I've heard about the lighted hooks, but still need to try them. Crocheting with black is really hard for a lot of us.

 

Cara, Question! With the "checkered" border squares on the Fall Ghan, do we still crochet a regular border? I have a looong way to go before I need to worry about it. How is the Bear pattern coming along?

 

Britt, have fun playing with yarn today. Just hide some if you think DH is starting to notice how much you have.

[Misa]

Theresa - Excellent progress!!

 

Mary - Nope not too much info....we're nosey I hate going too. Every time I go they find something elsewrong. I swear I feel like my warranty ran out at 35 Glad it went well

 

Denise - Clover makes them which is a bonus. I wouldn't be without my Clover hooks Here's what they look like.

[Misa]

Mary - Answer: Yes it'll still need a border because, IMO anyway, the unbordered squares look unfinished.

And the bear is on Frog Round #2 But I think I have it now. Nephew was right. It was coming out just a bit large

[Qmare]

Hi, Tabby. Yeah, the rooster was giving Cara fits, so I took a stab at it using little tiny picture of rooster that I found in a magazine, gridded, and simplified. This yielded Mr. Rooster, an as yet untried pattern.

 

 

OK... This Rooster is right up my ally! Holy cow, but he's cute!

 

so, where's the pattern? LOL

[Skysmom]

Thank you, Cara. Good luck with the Bear!

[andrea2006]

That rooster is adorable.

 

I have a copywrite question though. If you take a picture of anything say cartoon character or disney and turn it into a quilt type pattern is that violating anything? Just trying to understand how all this works, I have been trying to design a pattern for a year now but everytime I do I feel like it looks like something else. I thought I read in here where someone was doing it from an actual quilt but putting it into crochet and that would violate am I right or did I misread something somewhere?

 

Wendy thanks for the compliments on the colors.

Hi Everyone,

 

Mary Im glad everything went well at the doctors. It will be my turn on monday. Im hoping after a blood test she doesnt tell me Im a diabetic.

 

Cara those light hooks look great. I noticed that there isnt much hook though before the handle. I just cant get used to those types of hooks. But I guess if it helped with dark yarns I could put up with it.

[Misa]

Andrea - Yes, copying any copyright character (disney, etc) is a copyright violation. Directly copying someone elses quilt design is a copyright violation. It's a rough area and has stopped a lot of my projects too But I wouldn't want someone doing it to me so I don't do it to them

[britt]

No squares done, I thought that I would be done with the baby blanket that I am making but it is a basketweave pattern. I have already used two skeins of yarn and I am heading into my third. I wanted to get started on the cat quilt. Well hopefully tommrow after I volunteer at school. I have to go start dinner so I will see you all later.

 

Mary glad thing went well:)

 

Have a great night

[andrea2006]

Thanks Cara for answering that, makes you wonder how there are free graph patterns out there for winnie the pooh and cinderella and such if it is all illegal. hmmmmmmm back to the drawing board for me I suppose.

They either have a licensing agreement with them or they haven't been caught yet

 

Has anyone seen Judy today?

[Skysmom]

I've missed Judy, too. Hope you are okay, Judy!

 

Britt, I love the basketweave pattern. I made a baby ghan with it last year and it did take me longer than some other patterns.

[Krystal16]

I went through a period where I reported any Ebay seller I could that was clearly churning out the licensed character graph patterns.

 

After reporting several of them MANY times without any action from Ebay, I realized that they don't care as long as the licensing company doesn't come after them. I suppose Disney doesn't much care, or doesn't know, because they're all still there!

[andrea2006]

Let me ask someone something, how does one go about contacting one of any type company and asking or getting a licensing agreement? does anyone know. I know im nosey but ya know someone has to be.

[Skysmom]

It's about time for bed. I've finished 2 1/2 blocks of the Fall Ghan - that's close to 1/3 done. It is really fun to see the pattern and colors coming together.

 

See you all tomorrow.

[Misa]

Andrea - Nope, I don't know how to go about obtaining license rights. You can always contact the company and I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.
