Here is a hint for all of you ladies who order online...

When you put in y0our name/address - just make sure your "Ship To:" address is different than your billing address. .... Change the name to "Joanne Smith - RAOK" and then you can tell your DH's that it was a gift.. :lol

DreamsOfYarn · August 28, 2008

Yes we do love to get everyone excited about making saltines. I love the star in your avatar by the way.

Thank you. I made it last year but have no idea where it wandered off to. My DS probably walked off with it. He loved it. I'll probably see it hanging on his Christmas tree this year :lol

tracysthings · August 28, 2008

Ladies, we now know how Krystal snuck that stash of hers into the house. :devil :lol

Skysmom · August 28, 2008

Hi everyone! I've started 3 posts and the phone keeps ringing, so I'll just make it short for now.

Welcome to Annie and Mel! We always love to have new people join in. :hook

I think we need to discuss something, ladies. Now that Krystal has finally given in and joined us...and even though she has sworn that she would never make little squares...and even though we are so happy she is here - don't you think we should ask her to leave her bat at home? This calls for a vote. :yes

Krystal16 · August 28, 2008

Nah, I don't have to sneak stash... HB never complains unless the yarn takes over his side of the bed. He just shoves it to my side and then I yell at him for being so rough with my yarn!!! :lol

Krystal16 · August 28, 2008

Oh, I left my bat in the other CAL... :angel

Aussie · August 28, 2008

Krystal thats a great idea. :yes

tracysthings · August 28, 2008

oooo Mary, where is the spoon smiley? :devil I vote the :tryme stays in the Row a Day and Wheel of Fortune Cals. :yes

tracysthings · August 28, 2008

HB is rough with the yarn!!! :eek I think you should educate him in the proper yarn handling procedure. :yes

You guys are too funny today. :lol

I know I haven't said this in a while...you all are sooo special and sure are the "bright spot" for me on lots of days. This afternoon has been full of more family stuff and I'm laughing with you instead of :thair . Thanks, ladies.

Priszm · August 28, 2008

Thank you Cara and Joyce.
Joyce, that is beautiful in those colors.

Looks like mine are ok

I got bored today and I played around with graph paper and came up with a pattern for a baby (preemie) ghan. I'm starting small.

Looks like I am going to try my hand at a saltine ghan

this could get interesting

Mel, here's a present for you! I used this site for my pink ribbon ghan. I figured out how big I wanted it to be, plugged my length and width nbrs in and magically got a graph based on my design Plus, when it's in Adobe, if you copy it to Clipboard then paste it in Paint, you can use the paint can and line draws to help create your design.

No problem. That was part of the issue I was having w/ the pink ribbon. I had to have an exact in order for me to figure out the design :lol

I was having a heck of a time today, so I stuck with a simple 3 color preemie size.

Making the saltines isn't a problem at all. I like making them. It is the sewing together that may be tough. I've never sewn squares together before.

This could get interesting :yes

I'm doing Join as you Go, but I wish I'd stuck w/ whipstitch. It's gotten very bulky as I've gone so now I'm skipping a row, starting over and the skipped row will be a joining row.

I love the way your evil little mind works :devil

I second that :yes

Yes she should! Might have to call the ASPCY (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Yarn) on him :yes

Just make sure you don't let them pile up and it's not so overwhelming :yes

Shaylen · August 28, 2008

Ive only ever done the chain in the corner and i also don't turn the square...i think it looks better if its all worked on one side...just my take on it.

Welcome to the new Ladies!!!

I got my first 4 rows whipped :yay together so now back to making more saltines.

Krystal16 · August 29, 2008

I have learned the hard way to join/stitch each square as I go (using Wendy's long tail method, except I sc in the corner so my tail come right out the corner intead of off to the side), and I do all the ends as I go as well. I'm working on it now as HB watches the Bills play pre-season football.

jmccrochet · August 29, 2008

Yes, Wendy, I am making an attempt to make a saltine ghan.
I couldn't resist the force field coming from the saltine ladies any longer.

Careful, they're addictive. I started one and put it aside to work on one for the games, finished that and have plans in mind for a Christmas-y one to do with my Red Heart Christmas yarn and one for my sister involving roses. Of course, I have to finish the first one I started before October. It's never ending once you're sucked in. :lol :hook

I can get on board with that. Or at least leave it at the other CALs:hook
