Night Mary!

 

I'm following Krystal's lead (pretty sure it was her ) and doing a scrap double IC. This one will be a lapghan for Sissie's seniors, provided I can get it done quickly

[Skysmom]

That's great, Val! Yes, Krystal is making a scrap IC and I remember loving the picture she posted.

 

See you all tomorrow!

[Aussie]

NCIS (8pm)and Law and Order SVU (10pm) And inbetween is the new show Fringe. I think I'll tape SVU and watch it later. 11pm is way past my bedtime

 

Tomorrow night is Bones (not premier but a new show), Criminal Minds and one of the CSIs I think

 

Thursday is Survivor and the other CSI and probaby something else I'm forgetting about...

 

I wonder when we are going to get Survivor here, I love Criminal Minds and CSI shows.

 

Hi Ladies. Last Friday they delivered my new washing machine. This morning it made a loud "clunk" sound and then wouldn't go into the spin cycle. Lowe's is bringing a new washer tomorrow. Hopefully, that is all my venting for today.

 

Now it's time for stress relief with my hook.

 

Mary thats a pain isnt it. I hope the next one they bring works ok.

 

I'm stuck working until midnight, I'm going to be recording Fringe since I caught the gist only last week thanks to calls. So I'll record it and watch it tomorrow if I can't catch it tonight. I'm hoping for Ugly Betty soon too.

 

Whats this new show Fringa about.

Priszm that sounds like a great idea, I know Krystals looks really good and its a great way to get rid of scrap yarn.

Fringe is kinda a new take on X Files. Main female character got recruited to work for a different division of the FBI, they track down issues that occur due to Fringe Science. In the first episode, she was put into a metal tank in water and given LSD so that her brainwaves could sync to her comatose partners and they could share information. Tonights ep had a guy who was somehow picking up/intercepting calls between cell phones. So he could kinda evesdrop on bad guys plans.

Oh ok it sounds interesting. Might have to look into that one.

[tracysthings]

Fringe sounds interesting, I saw them advertising it yesterday to be starting soon.

TV last night was good I did up 30 solids and attached quite a few. I should have this baby nine patch done by the end of the week to post a picture.

Hi, ladies....

Off to another late start (for me)...SDR didn't have to go to work today, so I was lazy...

 

Later, gators....

[Misa]

Morning ladies

 

Up early again today. One more estimate today. A second estimate on the a/c. Just to be sure and see what the other company offers. I really hope this is the end of it. I would really, really, REALLY like to sleep til my normal time the rest of the week.

 

Upside though? I got two more blocks done on my untouched since Thursday IC Only one more pattern block to go which I'll, hopefully, get done today. Then a sea of side squares to turn it into a bedspread.

[Skysmom]

Hi ladies. Happy Wednesday! I'm just waiting on Lowe's to call and tell me when my washer will be here...they said they'd call by 9.

 

Cara~Yay for being so close to finishing your IC!

How annoying You're much more patient than I

Ladies, I have a question. I have crocheted for many years but have only recently made afghans with granny squares. I have never had a problem with the ends before, lately, they pop out and get fuzzy. What am I doing wrong? They stay nicely weaved in, it's just the tips that stick out. I am getting very frustrated I would love to hear any suggestions you all might have.

What brand of yarn are you using?

Mostly Red Heart. Thank you for the help!

[Misa]

Hmmm, RH usually does well with the tips. Some of the softer yarns are really bad about that. Anyway, the only thing I can recommend is to "tug" the piece where you clip to flatten it out real good. Then clip the yarn.

 

Any other suggestions ladies?

[judianne]

That's it, Cara...making sure it;s woven in a lot, tug it away from the ghan a little and clip it as close to the afghan as you can.

[tracysthings]

Mary, hope they delivered your machine on time and that this one works.

[classic crochet]

Thanks for the tip. I am glad to know it's not something I'm doing wrong. I am still working on your pattern, Cara. I put it aside awhile ago due to the fuzzy ends. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist, it drives me nuts when I can't fix it.

Me too I spent years finding a method that gets rid of that. Okay, okay I get the occassional fuzzy end but not that often anymore

I admire your persistence. I confess I'm a quitter I did an "Around the World" afghan for my son and didn't do another granny square afghan for over 1 year...got brave tried it again...same problem..tried again 1 year later...I keep coming back because I love the look of the quilted afghan. I don't even mind the sewing, just wish they would stay hidden
