You've nearly got me starting my triple irish chain... I'm liking my work-up in the jpeg...

 

Did ya'll hear that??? Krystal has finally given in.

 

Morning everyone, hope you are all having a good day.

TRACY HOWDY DOODY

 

Im GTing at the moment.

[sewnsew]

Morning everyone. I got some work done on the cabin ghan last night. I plan on picking up the other colors tomorrow so I can actually have some finished blocks.

 

I am going to pick out my IC colors today. I have no idea what colors I'll use. I think I'll just see what I have and go from there.

 

I got 18 solids done last night.

[Krystal16]

Did ya'll hear that??? Krystal has finally given in.

 

I know I just about fell out of my chair when I read her post. Its fantastic isnt it.

 

K's gonna do a saltine project?! I think that's fantastic

 

What colors are you doing your IC in.

 

Well, you've all done it... you've dragged me down into the murky depths of saltine-making. I have started my IC.... it's a scrappy TIC (Triple Irish Chain) - or shall I call it STIC???? I posted the link a while ago: http://www.geocities.com/arliss109/garyquilt.html

 

Mary - 7 solids

 

Yep, here I am.

 

Did I mention my afghan could take as much as 1,500 squares if I make it big enough?

 

I'll be here a while.

[tracysthings]

Krystal has come over to the dark side.

[sewnsew]

Krystal Great news that you have joined the ranks with saltine making. Cara is slowly but surely taking over the world with little bitty squares

 

I'm trying to decide if I want a nap or to go dig through my stash.

[Krystal16]

Donna -by all means, dig through your stash. If you get sleepy, you can just fall asleep IN your stash.

[sewnsew]

Krystal this is true A nice soft and warm place for a nap

[Aussie]

Krystal thats fantastic and its gonna be huge. I like the idea of a scrappy TIC. What color are you doing in the middle.

 

Ok I have done 4 GT squares now and could probably still get another square out of the skein so thats 5 squares to a 100gram skein. I have 20 skeins so wow I have plenty of yarn.

Good morning, My Chatty Friends

 

I get to bring my girls home, today. :yay I can hardly wait! I have been awake for 4 hours, already, and I do not even need to leave to meet them for another three hours. Can you tell I am anxious to see the little monkeys, again?!? Time is passing sooooo slowly while I wait.

 

Guess that means I will just have to find my and crochet for awhile. Too bad

 

Yaay, we have a new convert! I haven't been here long enough, Krystal, to tease you, but it's nice to hear you are joining the IC Gang. at your STIC. I'll be anxious to see your progress.

 

Priszm, I have been wanting to use a variegated yarn in saltines, but I just have not figured out the best way to do it, yet. I think it will be lovely in the IC. How'd the reverse bookcase idea sound in the light of morning? Like you, I was , too, but your guy must have something in-particular in mind. And, a bonus that he offered to build something custom -- it will be nice to use in the future, too

 

Mary -- 44 solids, please.

 

Wendy -- Definitely a fun way to wake up. Packages are always great:)

 

Have a good day!

[sewnsew]

Wendy you're making great progress on your GT.

 

I've narrowed it down to three color combos. I can't decide which one I like more.

 

[sewnsew]

Here is my cabin ghan so far.

[rii698]

I like the pink and lavender option... I never thought of using complimentary, light colors, but I think it would be very pretty.

Wonderful This Path to the Cabin is coming along so quickly. I really like it!

[Skysmom]

hi, another 32 solids and 4 bi colors

Hi Sunny. Are you almost finished with the Casa? Picture time!

 

I got 18 solids done last night.

 

Mary - 7 solids

 

Yep, here I am.

 

I'll be here a while.

 

It's about time!

 

Mary -- 44 solids, please.

 

I'll bet it seems like forever since the kiddos were home. Have a safe trip.

 

Squares are added, ladies.

[sewnsew]

Here is what the pink and purple would look like.

[Skysmom]

Oh Donna~Everyone knows I can never make a decision. I can see all the color combinations working beautifully, but really like the blue, brown and white together. You may have to draw straws.

[Skysmom]

Ooh! The pink and purple is adorable.

 

I'm off shortly for a haircut and errands. Have a great day, everyone.

[sewnsew]

Okay I got the other two in a graph too. I think I narrowed it down to the blues or the pink and purple. I'm not sure if I like how the graph turned out with the blue and brown.

His thought is if he reverses the bookcase and puts the open part against the wall, then my pillows and anything else won't fall down between the bed and the bookcase. But if I store items there (for example, my Princess House Goblets and my special wine glasses) that I use very rarely right now, when I do want to use them, then I have to move the bed back enough to move the bookcase out to get at the item. I'm thinking now that a thicker shelf at mattress level would work. Then I can put the box items down below and only need to move my bed when I need at them.

 

Ok, I'm gonna go work on the pink ribbon while laying on a heating pad. I think I slept funny last night and I have a sore shoulder/neck today. Hopefully it'll let me crochet since I did none yesterday.

[ThoseDarnPickles]

OOOOH I LOVE THE BROWN AND BLUE!!!!

[ThoseDarnPickles]

Looks great! Love the colors!

 

 

 

Here is my cabin ghan so far.

[ThoseDarnPickles]

Just stopped in for a few while I was checking the email. Back to packing! Having a hard time getting DH out of bed this morning so my boxes might have to be REAL loud! Talk to you all later!

[judianne]

Donna, I love the pink and lavender..the others are pretty, too...I also have trouble shopping for clothes when faced with too many choices:P

 

If I liked all of them equally, I would draw straws as Mary suggested!

[judianne]

K - are you going to just reach in a bag and randomly place the squares as you attach them? If so, that really would be a great stash buster...
