Tracy, how big were you planning on making this ghan with the symbol on it? I have some ideas outlined for you already.

When you're done with the heart pattern you can add a border and you have a preemie blanket:c9

[tracysthings]

I wanted to make it bigger than a cuddle, but not as big as a full sized ghan, if that makes sense? She has a single bed in her room, so to fit that. I was thinking that if it can't be enlarged to that size, I might make a few smaller ones and then put the blocks together, then she would be covered in triquetras. You must have heard me talking to my mom about the sample work!

So, if the cuddles are maybe lapghan size, then you want to make this to be about 48 by 78?? Shorter, maybe??

That sounds like a good size, yes, it could be a bit shorter if the pattern works out better that way.

Tab, while you're out, would you pick us up some milk & bread? I'll pay you back, we're just out of both of those. Looks like quesadillas for lunch!

 

Sorry got bread but no milk.

Okie-dokie! I'll play with the numbers...makes it easier, I think, if you are considering more than one motif for the ghan. Hmmmmm:think

Well, it was your inspiration really, I thought about that ghan you made for your friend with her name and the bows on it.

I don't know if I should panic or not, DD wants to know can she PLEASE use my new birch crochet hook if I won't let her use my bamboo one, to make her charity squares as it will go faster than knitting? Should I run and hide them and pretend I can only find aluminium ones?

[Super Granny]

Tracy... tell her they are specially fitted to your hands only and she could not POSSIBLY use them and find them comfortable

[Skysmom]

Hi Ladies. My DSL wasn't working this a.m. , but it's fine now. They brought a new modem and all is well! I need to catch up on posts, but I noticed both Julie and Tabby have been here today...and that makes me happy.

[judianne]

Tracy, HIDE your hook!!:yes:yes, and thanks for the compliment. It IS easier to make big squares and join them....

[judianne]

Hi, Mary:hug

 

...back to my thread project now....

[tracysthings]

Thank you for the ideas, . Luckily she has now found her aluminium one I gave her in December and she is happy to carry on with that one.

Glad she found hers - but you've raised her right, because she did say "Please!"

[Aussie]

Howdy doody everyboody.

 

Tracy cant wait to see how your graph ghan turns out like.

 

Tabby its nice to see you.

 

How is everyone going with their saltines. I have a icecream container full so today(fridays are my day off) Im going to sew some together so I can show something for photo friday.

[tracysthings]

Hi Wendy.

 

I have the first three rows of saltines for my Casa and about half way through sewing the third row together (but I kinda got sidetracked with some graphs ) But I love the way the colours are going together in the Casa already

[tracysthings]

Glad she found hers - but you've raised her right, because she did say "Please!"

 

Thank you , but sometimes I do wonder about that.

[Aussie]

Tracy way to go, its great to see it come together as you add rows isnt it.

[tracysthings]

Yes, it is, I am now going around the edges to make it bigger into a little blanket.

Judy the grey that you sent me is working perfectly for what I needed, just hope you can see what it is supposed to be in the picture.

Evening ladies

 

Man am I pooped Went to all the shops and got some decent deals but not a whole lot. The local LnT didn't have my dishes so I ordered them online. Bought a rug, too but that might be going back. I'll wait til BD comes home and gives me his opinion. He has to lay it out anyway

 

Tracy - Thank goodness DD found her hook! That was close I got a piece of mail I sent you returned to me today. I must not have your latest address It was a thank you card..........so thank you

 

Mary - Glad they got your DSL working again

 

Gotta go see what to do about dinner now. Talk to y'all later

[Aussie]

Cara howdy. Hope the rug works out, Im glad you had a great day even if it was a bit tiring. While you have dinner Im gonna have lunch.
