Yeah I had it done too with keyhole surgery. Boy was i sore afterwards.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good morning, everyone.

Julie, I had my gallbladder out many years ago. Before the keyhole technique, so I have quite a scar, but haven't had any gallbladder problems since. It was well worth it. My last attack was when I was driving and I had to pull over and sit and cry until the worst of it passed. Don't miss it at all. Glad the doctors were nice. I've had some nice male doctors, but, on the whole, I prefer female doctors. They understand female problems much better.

Holes in the Becky's Blocks? Where? I don't think I have any. At least, not that are big enough to call them holes.

Good morning ladies

 

Julie - I'm glad you've found a pair of doctors that you feel comfortable with. Now if they can just get a few things straightened out. They will. These things take time sometimes. We're here if ya wanna rant, laugh or cry

 

Wendy - I'm not sure if I know what you mean by holes. Where exactly are you getting holes? I don't remember getting any But I frogged the stadium ghan last night...too big, too ugly, too boring....and I'm gonna just do it in BB with 2 colors. Maybe I'll see what you mean But I'm concerned since more than one of you are getting holes

 

MAN! It's cold out there again today!! And I left the cotton picking A/C on all night so I've got icicles on my nosie Think our little Indian Summer thing is passing

[Skysmom]

It's still morning - barely. I've been on a roll cleaning the kitchen and pantry so I can play this afternoon. I need to be in the office going through tax stuff, but since I do our taxes it can wait.

 

Julie, it sounds like you have good doctors...we want you feeling better soon!

 

Cara, I just saw your filet gift. It is gorgeous!

Hi Ladies,

 

Getting ready to head out the door. Hope everyone is doing well. I will check in later.

 

Have a great day.

[Misa]

Mary - Need to start rolling round my kitchen too. It needs help BAD! I'll be quite glad when this foot is back to normal. You don't realize how much you need your foot til it's messed up Didn't Shelly do a fabulous job on the filet piece? I just wish I could've gotten a better photo. I love it

Cara the holes are where you do the sc row on the foundation side. My last block I have tried doing the sc right into the stitch of the first row to get rid of the holes.

Oh I see. No I didn't have that problem. Maybe the yarn I was using was thicker? No, maybe not if others are having the issue. Did sc'ing right into the first row fix it?

[Aussie]

Yes you cant see it as bad but then my last block was black. Im now making a blue one and this time I made sure my chains were tighter so hope that helps.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Cara & Wendy, I've done all of mine going into each chain of the initial chain and I don't have any holes.

[Misa]

Okay, I've just finished one block since I'm doing the BB again for my BIL. I think I see what might be happening to you because I did it by mistake. You have to make sure that you sc into each ch of the foundation. That means the bottom of the cluster and the 2 chs that are in between each cluster. So that's sc in the cluster, sc in each of the next 2 chs, sc in the next cluster, etc etc etc.....I missed a spot and got a hole...went back and redid it then it was right. See? Sometimes making a mistake can be a good thing

[Aussie]

Oh I see what I have done now, where the 2 chains are I have just been doing one sc and I have been going over the chains and not into each chain if that makes sense. Boy what a dumbo I am.

[judianne]

Sometimes I have the hardest time with easy patterns, too.

 

Decided to use stash when I'm ready to do BB...I printed out the pattern:hook

Judy welcome to the block club.

Oh no no no Not dumb at all. It happens to all of us. I do it all the time Don't feel dumb at all

Completed another BB block today. Today's is Amethyst (What I'd call Royal Purple.) and Bright Yellow. It's striped but in a pattern of 4 rows purple alternating with 2 rows yellow. I miscalculated so one end has 4 rows of purple and the other has 2 row of purple. :lol Oh, well. It's still pretty.At the rate of 1 block per day I'll have enough for a 4 block x 5 block ghan in 3 weeks or a 5 block by 6 block ghan in a month. Then I'll have all the joining to do. These blocks are very addictive, Cara.

[Aussie]

Linda I agree, the blocks are so quick and easy to make.

[Misa]

Glad y'all are enjoying them

[Skysmom]

Hi to Valerie ~ are you able to get any crocheting time? I hope your work schedule eases up a little soon.

 

I'm so glad you all talked about Becky's Blocks today. Hopefully, when I make one, I'll remember all of the tips! Of course with my memory, you'll probably get the questions anyway.

 

I finally got my hook out tonight. I don't know why I think there will be quiet crochet time around here. Silly me for not using Caller ID and Voice Mail at all times.

Linda, I love the Amethyst and I bet it's beautiful with the Bright Yellow.

[Misa]

Taking a break from the house wifery thing. Man this place has gotten out of control. I mean it's not a dump but it's just...just....untidy...and it makes me nuts Getting the laundry done. Made chili for supper so it can sit and meld awhile. Trying to do the 2 color BB for my BIL in between.
