Cathy howdy, yes Dad loved the yarn. We dont get the Mary Maxim book here. We have something similiar I guess and that has lots of latch hook rug kits in it too.

 

Well Im going to bed now, its nearly 11.30pm here.

 

Night all.

What is a babette cardigan? I would love to see it

 

Cathy

[tracysthings]

Cathy. I the cardigan. I was trying to make the hexagon cardigan, but doing it solid instead of granny square stitch. It just didn't look right in the size I wanted to make. Making a hooded cardigan instead.

Just chcking in! I have 18 solids done. I haven't really worked on this for a while, but I have been working on the GT and have 55 squares done on that. Gonna work on the CASA today after work though and see how far I can get before the son comes home from school.

 

Amy, great job! I am absolutely in love with that.

 

I agree on the pink ribbon blanket, 3 rows to even it out. Looks fantastic by the way!!

 

Have a great week everyone!!

[crashcat07]

I have never ventured into baby clothes yet... But i do have a few patterns for clothing.. I ought try.. I think I gotta take a break from these saltines a while, I dont want another big project. I know that i cant do long rows.... its like watching the grass grow, guess I dont have the patience.

 

I gotta go to work.. there are probably still Texans there. Probably dont know when they are gonna be able to go home... heartbreaking

 

Cya,

Cathy

Hi Tracy! Sorry if I've missed this...what colors are you using? Are you making the Double IC?

Howdy everyone.

 

My IC is going well, I now have 6 blocks of 5x5 finished.

 

Mary 53 solids for me please.

WTG, Wendy!

 

Mary,

 

Did you have fun on your vacation? I think its great just to be able to get away!! Glad you made it back safe with all this crazy weather!!!!!!!

 

Please add 36 solids and 8 bi-color.

 

Thanks,

[Skysmom]

Oops, I forgot to report my squares. 50 solid squares made.

[tracysthings]

Mary. Those were saltines for the Casa I found tucked in my basket. I am making an IC, in green, pink and purple. Baby sized, of course.

[Misa]

Ohhh! I have to share this! I'm soooo excited! Last year I meet another employee from my company at the bike MS 150. This year, we're co-captioning a team and we just got permission to use the company name! That means we can recruit riders from work!!! Yay!!

That's great news Val

Why? And if it's any consolation, I'm trying to figure out how I can skip the hills. 'Cause whoever said FL is flat, LIED!

[Skysmom]

Val ~ that is wonderful news! When is the MS 150? Hills! Watching people ride bikes in San Francisco was incredible...DH and I were amazed at them on those really steep hills.

 

Tracy, the IC will be adorable in the baby size and colors.

 

Finally! I have joined the first two 5 x 5 blocks of my double IC. It feels like forever since I've accomplished much with my crocheting.

 

It's a beautiful day and we have windows open...that almost never happens in September.

Mary IC your making great progress there. Well done

 

Yes the weather is very strange all over isnt it. Last Saturday we had such beautiful 28C weather and yesterday we had thunderstorms and gail force winds. Very unusual. It is great to have a nice day where you dont need the heater or airconditioner on and you can have the windows open.

[tracysthings]

Morning Wendy.

 

Val, good news for the cycling, almost sounds fun.

[Misa]

It's still 80 degrees here. That's too hot for open windows for me But I did turn off one of the a/c units so that's a plus

The Crystalites are plastic and it snapped right in the middle of the thinner oval-y area. I obviously was gripping too hard. But I was doing a hhdc - herringbone hdc - which isn't moving as nicely for me as other stitches do. If I didn't like the look of it, I'd frog and do hdc only

Just sneeking in to put my 2 cents worth in about this. I :lurk here as everyone does such lovely work and makes me .

But back to the hook, I have had the lucite ones from Susan Bates that are a plastic too break like that and have tried super glue and E6000 to fix it. It didn't work for me even letting the E6000 set up for several days it still pulled apart in the spot that broke. Sneeking back out....

The MS 150 for mid-Florida is taking place May 16-17th (I'm pretty sure that was the date ). I don't know where it's starting this year. But last year it started at Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven and went through the Lake Wales Ridge. Which is full of lots and lots of rolling hills. My poor legs couldn't handle it. The second day I made it to the third rest stop before they gave out on me. Here's the blog entry I did that shows a pic of one of the hills. I'm excited about having a team this year and I'm working on a way out of the hills. I'm thinking of having DBF's parents follow me, and when I get to the hills, have them take me to lunch, thereby bypassing all those PITA's

Hi everyone. Just checking in real quick. I probably won't be doing many saltines for a bit. Got a WIP someone wants to pay me for so that has to take priority. I might be able to sneak some saltines in though here and there.

 

I did get some done last night while the girls were in the pool. I got 10 solids done for the BIC.

 

It's been a busy day here. I'm not sure where it all went but it felt like I didn't have enough time all day. Hopefully tomorrow will be a more relaxed day for me though. I'm headed off to find my hook. I'll see you all in the morning.

[tracysthings]

Mary, 25 solids for me, please. I have been working on the BIC tonight.
