Our House [Archive 3]

Linda - Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear What an awful thing to come through. I hope you get it straight without much pain Great job finishing the squares for the LotL! You're in the home stretch now

 

I have finished the Argylesque I'll get a photo of it tomorrow when the light comes back. It took me all day long to add the border. Think I'm slowing down after a nice long up cycle Wish those good days would last longer

 

But now I've got to decide what to do next Wanted to do Country Roads but I don't think I have the colors on hand. I won't be getting to the store for about a week so gotta think of something for the meanwhile. Never fear I shall come up with something

[Skysmom]

Linda ~ Wow! You guys will have a full house this weekend. Will you have to do a bunch of cooking, etc.?

 

Cara, on finishing the Argylesque! You know we can't wait for pictures.

 

I worked on the Dragonfly ghan again tonight. I'm rather proud of myself for working on two things at the same time for a change. DH has an 8 am flight so that alarm will go off way too early. Have a good evening, all.

I love the way these look and every one I see I'm amazed on how well they look. The double color ones frighten me right now. I'm decided between the woven blocks and the gingham on the Happy Yellow house site. My snowflake afghan is over half way done so I'm trying to drum up another project.

Krystal - 19 solids and 9 bicolors. I now have all the squares crocheted for the rest of the LotL. On to joining now.

My troubles with the IRS started with a roommate who stole from me and bankrupted me while I was on disability and so overmedicated I didn't know what was going on around me. Then I lost my job with its $60,000+ annual salary and ended up with less than $10,000 a year in income and no health insurance. My home was foreclosed on in there, too. There just hasn't been any money to pay the back taxes. Oh, well. Something will work out eventually.

Cara, I took the pattern for Becky's Blocks and increased the width and length and am making a preemie afghan in bright orange. It's cute.

 

Sorry to hear about all the hassles you have had. Great work on the LOTL, the end is in sight, cant wait to see the end result.

 

Thanks, Mary. I don't know if I can get it finished by the weekend or not. It would be nice since a bunch of John's family will be here then. It started out that it would be his folks and one sister. Then the sister's daughter and granddaughter were added in. Now another sister and two or three of her family are coming, too. We're going to have a very full house.

 

Sounds like its going to be a great weekend.

Mary its nice to have a few things on the go I reckon. Are you sure you want just 2 projects, I think you could easily handle a third.

Welcome to the group.

[judianne]

Smith, welcome!!

 

K - did you get the 17 solids I posted last night?

[Aussie]

Welcome! It took me a while to get comfortable with the bicolor squares, but now they're my favorite ones to make. Don't hesitate to ask questions...someone will jump in with answers.

[Skysmom]

Wendy, I hope you're not getting a cold. Feel better!

[judianne]

Wendy...maybe going back to work is making you not feel well....Hmmm...

I hope you feel better in the morning, my friend:hug

[Krystal16]

Smith, welcome!!

 

K - did you get the 17 solids I posted last night?

 

Yes, I did.. that bumped you up to 8th place!

Take some vitamins, especially zinc (or have some smoked oysters) and see us in the morning!

[judianne]

Thanks, K -

 

I have to log off now - filling out our passport renewal forms. Not because we're planning on going anywhere...just because they're ready to expire.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Smith, Welcome to the group! The bicolor squares aren't nearly as hard as they look. You'll be cranking out squares in no time. I've even done 4 color squares. They aren't that hard, they just create lots and lots of tails to hide.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Morning gals.

 

 

Cara~Congrats on finishing your ghan. I can't wait to see it!

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

 

Smith - Welcome to the group! I agree with Mary. When I started all these the bicolor were kind of a pain but now they're my favorite ones to make. The solid ones are boring

 

Wendy - Sure hope you feel better in the morning

 

Judy - A passport. That's one of those things my sister keeps telling me I need. But considering I rarely even leave town I don't see the rush Good luck with yours.

 

K - Now I knew about the zinc but smoked oysters?!?

 

Gonna get a photo of the Argylesque once it gets a bit brighter in here. Seems it's gonna be another dreary day. Think it rained last night because the back deck was wet and there was water in the cat food bowl. So it either rained or someone rain our backyard through the car wash Hmmm, I shouldn't try humor before the caffeine kicks in properly

[Krystal16]

K - Now I knew about the zinc but smoked oysters?!?

 

Oysters are high in zinc.

[Misa]

Oysters are high in zinc.

 

Well whadda ya know. I've learned something new today

[Misa]

And here it is....the completed Argylesque. I'm pretty pleased with it myself

 

[judianne]

Cara, that is gorgeous!!:clap:clap

What sort of border did you make? HDC?

[QueenOfCrochet]

Cara~That is gorgoeus!

[Misa]

Cara, that is gorgeous!!:clap:clap

What sort of border did you make? HDC?

 

Thanks hon I did six rounds for the border is this order....sc, hdc, sc, hdc, sc, rsc. Love the way the rsc worked on this one. The stitch is a pain in the wrist but it is so worth it

[Krystal16]

I can NOT get rsc to look good for me. Dunno why.. It always comes out all nubbly.

[judianne]

I love the look of the rsc, too - use it alot! I found that by pulling the hook to my right ide more than toward me the stitches lay nicer, K

[tracysthings]

Cara, that is beautiful!! And done so fast, too.

[tracysthings]

Wendy, hope you are not getting sick.

[QueenOfCrochet]

I give you alot of credit Cara because by time I get to the border I usually just want it done so I go one maybe two rounds & simple. But the way you did yours really makes your ghan beautiful. I guess patience really makes a difference, something I don't have.
