Cara, congratulations on becoming a great aunt. :c9 I'm glad mom and baby are doing well. Can't wait to hear about your day in S.A.

I hope everyone is having a great day! :hook

Wow, Linda- that is REALLY nice ! Good job on it .

Yea, maybe you need a break for a few days from the hook and knitting may just be the ticket . (or else a good book )

Cara- we'll be waiting to get the yarn report -have fun today .

Hi ladies. It's been a quiet day around here. Two whole days without my hook and I miss it! Tomorrow may be a good "stay at home and crochet" day. :hook Have a great evening.

Hello ladies

I just had to see why this thread was so popularand now I know why. These blankets are just amaizing. I made the school bus one off Cara'a website. I have to tell you the squares work up very quickly but sewing them all together was a major pain. I very much admire your dedication. Not to mention your creativity. After seeing the amazing ghans you have come up with I may have to reconsider this again after the new year. Even though I hate all that sewing I love how creative I can get. I have created several graphs for projects I have in mind but until I get all my other wips out of the way I guess I wil have to just stick to desighning them for now. If I ever do make any of them I will be sure to post them for you. Thanks for the great inspiration!

That rooster is INCREDIBLE !!

JulieKay · December 23, 2007

Hi Tammy

I'm sure Cara would enjoy having you along for another afghan, so feel free to jump in and make some more squares if you get in the mood !

Hi Olga ! Long time, no see. How have you and the family been ? :hug

busy-bee-lmt · December 23, 2007

Good morning, ladies. About all I got accomplished yesterday was taking pictures and knitting on two preemie hats. One is done except for sewing together the seam and the other has about 10 rows to go. I ran out of steam big time when I finished Mr. Rooster. :lol

JulieKay · December 23, 2007

Morning Linda

Yep, you have really been pouring it on trying to finish up all those gifts ! Don't get burnt out-- maybe a few days of knitting will be a nice break, then you'll be ready to take on the hook again !

QueenOfCrochet · December 23, 2007

Okay, i'm dwindling down on projects & the holidays are nearing an end. I have the small lapghan peace ghan & my small ripple that is almost done. So my next queston is for Cara.......ya know what's coming huh? :lol

Are there going to be new patterns put up soon? :lol Not that there's not a ton more that I haven't done that I want to but a new one just always seems to light new fires. Ya know what I mean? Anywhoo, I leave ya alone but only until after the holiday. :devil

Misa · December 23, 2007

Howdy gals :flower

Okay, first and foremost.....look at this little face on new grand nephew Peyton

He's so tiny! :manyheart Can't wait til I can get up there to see him

Linda - The Rooster is a masterpiece! :nworthy He's simply fabulous! Now I have to learn how to make your special squares because this house is Kitty & Rooster Central :lol

Okay, so previously we heard that my BIL called about yarn choices for my requested Christmas gift, right? Turns out SIL was with him as well. He was choosing RHSS in what SIL says was, "the ugliest colors they had". Of course, we all know there's no such thing. Stash building is stash building, am I right? But she checked out the Vanna's and saw the difference and the following little scene played out...

Amy (SIL): Chris, I think Travis needs to go to the bathroom again.

Travis (nehew, age 3): I don't have to go potty, Mommy.

Amy : Yes, you do.

Travis: No, Mommy I really don't.

Chris (BIL): He doesn't have to go Amy.

Amy: Yes, he does he just doesn't know it.

So BIL takes nephew to the boys room and SIL puts all the RHSS back and gets the Vanna's. BIL comes back wanting to know what happened to his choices. She tells him he can choose something too and this is what he's allowed to add to the basket.....

Amy added 32 skeins of Vannas and 3 fabulous large tote bags....

I'd have been over the moon with RHSS in various colors but I'm in heaven with the Vanna's :c9

Sorry for the long story but I thought it was hilarious :lol

judianne · December 23, 2007

What a great story, Cara! And I love the way you illustrated it with the yarn...lucky lady!! :clap :clap

Aussie · December 23, 2007

Cara that is just hilarious. Im glad you got some great yarn there and your party went well.

I havent seen this vanna yarn before, might have to have a look on ebay.

Cara im in agreement with Tabby, I too am waiting for some new patterns to inspire me to get back into the square addiction. I do want to make Mr Rooster though.

wiz3283 · December 23, 2007

Congrats on the new nephew Cara. How big is he? your hand looks almost as big as him. He looks very tiny but beautiful!

Aussie · December 23, 2007

Cara I forgot to mention that your new grand nephew is so cute. Congratulations once again. :hug

Misa · December 23, 2007

Oh yes, meant to address the new pattern thing. :blush I know I've been neglecting the site. Distracted by shiny new CALs and all :lol But the rest of the year will be spent updating and adding new goodies :jumpyay December is HYHs anniversary month. It has already been one year since it went live! It was my Christmas gift from BD last year and I must say it's the best one I ever got! This has been one of the best years of my life and I owe it all to y'all :manyheart I can never repay the support and friendship I've received

busy-bee-lmt · December 23, 2007

Cara, what a wonderful yarn story! :lol And your haul is absolutely wonderful! Your grand-nephew is charming. What a little sweety.

Mr. Rooster is washed and dried now. I need to finish up the revised pattern which will include a blowup of the head which is where most of the special squares are. They aren't all that hard, but do have more tails than the usual bicolor ones.

QueenOfCrochet · December 23, 2007

Aww Cara, Peyton is adorable & so tiny. :manyheart What did he weigh?

And that shopping story is hilarious but she did it for all the right reasons & you made out great! :cheer :lol You really have had a wonderful Christmas so far. You are going to need a seperate house just for all of your new knitting & crocheting loot. :yarn

Well, I have a room of my own for such things...I just need more storage :lol

Peyton weighed in at 7 lbs 1 oz and he was 20 inches long :manyheart

The Vanna yarn is so squishy! I used it for DS's GF's scarves...so soft!

He looks so small compared to the hands in the picture but he wasn't a real small baby. But he is sooooo cute. I wanna hold him. :manyheart :manyheart
