OK, if you want to link to another post, this is what you do....

 

Do you see the number at the top right of every post? Well, that's a link!

 

You RIGHT CLICK on that link and then click "Copy Link Location" or "Copy Address" (browsers differ).

 

Then, when you are making your post, you paste that into the link box when it asks for the address.

 

Voila!

Welcome to the group, Smileygirl! We'll be happy to help if you have problems. :welcome

Yes, Rosie is the one who is getting Mr. Rooster. She was soooo enthused about it and the progress I've made on the squares for it. She is going to be sooo surprised! :devil She was mentioning that she gave all her crochet hooks to a friend who was laid up and now it getting the itch to start again

Made it to Michaels today, but wasn't terribly impressed with most of what they had at our store. I did pick up 6 skeins of Patons Divine in two different colors: red with black & black with gray. I'm hoping that's enough for a matching hat and scarf set in both colors. It was 50% off which put it in my price range.:hook

I ran a lot of errands today, so haven't done much crocheting, but should get in some tomorrow.

Have a great night.:manyheart

Morning.

Mary, have a good time planting.

Why is it when I get a chance to sleep in, my body insists on waking up extra early? I suppose achy joints have something to do with it. I've got a quiet day of crocheting and movie watching planned for today.:yes

Hello.

 

Cara &/or Mary~I have a question about the bus cuddle ghan. Did you both use bright yellow or another yellow? I'm not so sure if I like the bright yellow, it seems a bit too bright. Neither of yours look that bright in the pic. so I wanted to see what your opinions were. Thanks!

Good morning ladies :flower

 

Mary - Have fun with DD :hug

 

Tabby - I think I ended up using just "Yellow" on mine. RHSSs Yellow is pretty bright so it should be fine. :yes

 

Linda - I know how you feel :hug Maybe you can sneak in a nap somewhere :D

 

Well, I snuck in a nap yesterday. Meant it to be 30 minutes or so. It ended up 2.5 hrs :eek Of course that meant I didn't get to sleep until after 6 this morning. :P Sure hope I can straighten myself out by tonight :lol

 

Have a great day everyone :manyheart

I finally have a few squares finished. I have seriously got to stop starting new projects!!! I have so many WIM's that it's hard to focus on the ones I am actually doing, lol.

Now I KNOW you're truly one of us:devil

Tabby, I used RH Kids Yellow. It's a little thinner than regular RHSS, but the color worked and it didn't make any difference as far as the squares look. Are you making it for anyone special? Can't wait to see it! :hook

 

Cara, I hope you get caught up on sleep tonight. :)

 

Linda~Enjoy your crochet day. :yarn

 

We had fun at DD's and got 7 beautiful big shrubs in, mulched and ready for the edging. There's still lots to do, but it's looking better. :garden

Mary, WTG gal. You'll have them landscaped in no time.

I've watched two movies so far and have finished all the light green squares for Mr. Rooster. On to Dark Green and Browns now. :hook

OK, I have a quick question, I have 20 yards of light blue in my plastic canvas box.. Do you think I could get 6 squares out of that? It's all I need and I don't really wanna buy anything I don;t have too. Money is too tight this time of year.

That's what I decided to go with or atleast I think. :lol It was in my stash but rolled in a ball with no tag but it looks good. :D

I find that some colors are just thinner even in the same exact brand/kind. Like my black seems thinner then alot of the colors. :think Even on my half squares I don't think it makes a difference.

 

I'm making it for the kids bus driver. She goes beyond what most drivers do. My kids love her, they give her hugs everyday getting on the bus. She is so sweet & deserving. :manyheart

I love it when people think of their kids drivers! Lots of parents give things to teachers and coaches, but forget the people that get up at 5am every day to get your child to school safely. My mom is a bus driver, and she loves those kids like her own.:manyheart

Hi Bean ~ At one time, Cara told us how many squares (on average) we could make from a skein of RHSS...anyway, I was trying to do the math and figure it out.:think Too much information :lol, but I'll bet someone will come on and help you. :yes
