Pyjama weekend sounds like a good way to spend the weekend. Just dvd's, , and .

[Skysmom]

Thanks, Tracy. Since I am sooo not techie - would you check the link and see what you think as far as formatting? Please tell me if you would change something.

[tracysthings]

It took me straight to the post, perfect.

[mommy neel]

Well, I've got good news! I've completed 60 saltines AND ......

 

I just realized that I forgot to mention they're all solids!

 

And it looks like Hanna is going to graze by my location, but we're already getting major rain. Oh, well, looks like another opportunity to crochet!

[Skysmom]

Thanks so much, Tracy! I'd never done that on the 'ville before.

60 solids it is!

Ok, after doing my statistics homework for the weekend, I added up all of the saltines I will need to create for the three quilt ghans I have plans to make!

Pretty Gingham Baby Quilt - 225

Penguin Cuddle Quilt - 266

Just Ducky Quilt - 372

That is 863 saltines in all!!! I will decide which one to get started on after I check my stash to see what I have on hand!

Thank you, Suzanne! Can't wait to see which one you start first.

It's the Penguin Cuddle Quilt that I've chosen and begun to make saltines for! These little guys are addictive, especially in using a "G" hook!

Happy crocheting!

[DreamsOfYarn]

OK Ladies. My preemie saltine ghan is almost done. I just need to put a border on. I have a few ideas of the border, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

 

Here is the Preemie Saltine

It is wonky cause I just tossed it down and snapped pictures before I lost the light. Been a gloomy day.

[Krystal16]

Oh, that is so cute!

 

I'm really diggin' my rhdc as a border, so I would do a round of sc in the yellow, then a round of the rhdc-ch1-sk 1 st in the turqua/teal color.

 

Just my opinion.

[LavenderBear]

Mel,

I LOVE yours! How about two or three rows of hdc in white?!

[LavenderBear]

Ok, I made my FIRST 14 saltines and pieced them together to make the first row of the PCQ for Violet! I won't have time to work on any more this weekend as I have a TON of homework, but I will make the next row in the near future!

 

Mary, please put 14 solids for my total so far! Thanks!

[Shaylen]

Howdy everyone,

 

Just got back from Netball and voting. We had a minor election for South Australia here, have to vote or you get fined $50.

 

Well I really need to do some housework as I have Mum and Dad coming tomorrow. Sunday is Fathers Day here in Australia.

 

Suzanne great start on the PCQ.

 

Krystal I havent done the RHDC as a border yet, but I do want to try that method.

 

Mommy Neel great progress as well, its a lot of fun isnt it. Hope the weather doesnt get too bad there.

 

 

 

Mary the Saltine Smackdown info looks great.

Shay that pattern looks great, are you going to do it in squares, you could you know. It would look awesome.

Oh Mel! I absolutely LOVE that! I agree with K on the border as well. Except I'm still doing reverse sc because RHDC doesn't seem to wanna work left handed

That's a neat one Shay That would love really great as a quilt ghan

 

Howdy everyone,

 

Just got back from Netball and voting. We had a minor election for South Australia here, have to vote or you get fined $50.

 

Sometimes I think we need to go to that system in the US Think I read last presidential election only about half the population voted. That's unacceptable imo Okay off my Wish Dad happy Father's Day from us

 

Mary - The saltine rules look great! You do a wonderful job on keeping tabs for us

 

Well, we've been gone most of the day. Had the a/c in our bedroom go out the other day. Try finding an a/c in September There's nothing left but the big 27,000 btu monsters. Don't need that in our little bedroom. So we're gonna get up early tomorrow and go talk to the fellow at Home Depot about central heat and air. That should provide sticker shock

 

Then we went out to eat Chinese and I completely blew my diet for the day But it was awful good. Back on track tomorrow. Just gonna go check Sky real quick then finally settle in with my hook

[DreamsOfYarn]

Thank you everyone for the kind words

I am now addicted to saltines

I don't think I did too bad considering this is my first attempt at making anything with squares and having to sew them together. I sewed some of them too tight and a few are wonky. I also tired a few different ways to sew them together, so the back of it looks messy. This one will stay here and be used by the kitties.

 

I already have ideas for 2 more preemie ones. Hopefully the back will look better.

 

I like the idea of the rhdc for the border, but since I still have trouble with the rsc, I will have to practice a bit more on a test piece. My hands just don't cooperate crocheting backwards

[Aussie]

Cara howdy:hi hope you can find some airconditioning. Im glad you had a great chinese dinner, I just love chinese food. Have a great night crocheting.

 

Well Im watching Stargate and making some squares.

Tip: Yank on it in all directions. Most times that'll flatten it out if you get too tight. I used to have that problem all the time

[Priszm]

One more row done! I have 4 of the body, then I'll add white to the ends and edge! With luck I'll be done next weekend! Of course, depending on Ike's path, I may have lots of time to crochet this week.

[Aussie]

Priszm your making great progress, hope the storm wont be too bad.

 

Im busy with saltines on the cat ghan tonight.
