I think you should crochet yourself some new ones!

 

Actually that's not a bad idea at all! I have a book full of slipper patterns. A little altering and I should be able to come up with something Thanks for the idea hon

Cara, I did a sample of the sedge stitch and got as close as I could. Any closer and it gets really blurry. I've got 4 blocks done now: 1 solid black, 1 solid cherry red, and 2 black and cherry red striped. The picture is NOT an actual block. I did it this way to try to make the stitch show up.

 

That looks so pretty, Linda. I'm anxious to try it.

[Skysmom]

Cara ~ I'm so glad you got into see the doctor. And what a fun day for mail! We just got our 1040 IRS book and some bills.

 

I'm pretending it's not almost 80 degrees and am making Taco soup and cornbread. DH is happy.

I figured you had already figured it out! I was sorta just joshing you, expecting that you had considered and rejected the idea!

Cara I think we all just love to shop.

 

I have just ordered 2 books first one is Learn to filet crochet in JOD and Crocheted Potholders 2. I need some filet patterns so that once I learn the stitch next week I can start to make some things and I didnt have any potholder patterns and this book had some cute ones in there.

[judianne]

Cara

Thanks...it came up just before i left so i was able to get the amounts...I GOT THE YARN ...now to get my wave done so i can start it.

 

Wendy

I love Filet i am always working on one,Kathy taught me about 2 years ago when i was testing her shawl,she is a very good teacher...i am working on a wall hanging right now...let me see if i can get a photo of it....I love the roman ones.

 

[Aussie]

Shay that is beautiful. That is what I want to do. Im hoping that I will be able to get the hang of it and make something nice like that.

[JulieKay]

Wow, Shay-that filet project is gorgeous !

[Misa]

Shay all I can say is WOW!! Such nice neat filet and a very cool looking picture to boot. You definitely have more patience than I

[judianne]

Shay, the wall hanging is turning out beautifully!! You definitely have the knack for it.

 

Though it's no where as big as yours, I still have much more work to do on a test filet pattern...there's only one place that has enough light to do it by, unfortunately. I'll have to apologize to the designer for taking so long - I'm just glad someone else is also doing it!

[sewnsew]

Shay that is so pretty. Kathy also taught me when I tested her last scarf. It's alot easier than I thought it would be. Although I did learn with yarn and not thread. I will eventually want to try it in thread too.

That is REALLY pretty! What thread and hook are you using?

[busy-bee-lmt]

Shaylen, that is absolutely stunning! I don't seem to have the patience to do it any more. I've done a few small pieces, but nothing like what you have tackled. :nworthy Wow!!!

[Skysmom]

Good Morning, ladies.

Shay, your filet piece is beautiful. Not sure if I have the patience for that, but may try the beginner class.

 

DH was hit by a red light runner yesterday. Thank goodness he's okay, but his truck isn't...at least the guy had insurance. They are bringing a rental this a.m. We've both been hit by people running red lights in the last 2 years, so this is getting really old now.

 

We're going to have lunch out, so I'd better get busy. Have a great day.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Mary, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident, but glad DH is okay. Hope today is a better day.

[Misa]

Mary - Glad DH is okay but what a pain to be inconvenienced Have a nice lunch

 

Still feeling better today. House is a disaster I'm finally noticing Gotta be careful not to overdo though. When I felt better the other day and cleaned the fridge and did laundry and tidied up all in the same day I was down for two days after that Gotta go to the post office today if I can get a shoe on. Had trouble yesterday and tried my regular slippers this morning. That was painful But at least it's not broken. I can live with this better than I could a cast

[JulieKay]

Wow, Mary

That is scarey. I'm glad your husband is ok . trucks can be replaced but people can't !

 

And also, Cara- glad your Dr went ok -- it sounds like you're gonna have a pretty doggone sore foot for awhile, but glad it wasn't broken .
