I finished 60 solid squares this weekend. I am using the join as you go method. I like the added texture it is giving me and really reminding me of falling leaves.

 

 

Hi Kidge! WTG on making so many squares. I've added them to the list.

 

So much for crocheting this afternoon...but I'm going to start now.

[Skysmom]

Hi Ladies. I'm reporting 44 solid squares.

Karen~35 solids added. Are you making more of those adorable baby ghans?

 

Yes I am making another baby quilt-ghan - this one is in burgandy, medium pink and white. It's getting closer to complete and I'll post a picture once it is done.

Cara,

 

People are just rude period... no matter how nice you can be to them.. its still

not good enough. I agree with you.. if you cant do the job, dont fake it... makes the ones that can look bad...

Just a quick hello from chilly Wisconsin :wbrrAutumn is here!

 

Mary, 10 Bi-color and 18 solids for me.

 

I managed to get the GT done over the weekend, but, alas, I have no camera to share a pic. I will have to wait until my daughter comes back from college for a weekend and get her over here to take one for me. I really love how this turned out!!!

[Skysmom]

Good Morning, all.

 

Karen ~ Can't wait to see your baby ghan. 20 solids added.

 

Donna ~ I saw your shawls on the Sky Cal - they're beautiful! Glad you're back to the IC and I've added 15 more solids.

 

Hi Cathy ~ Your Rebel flag sounds wonderful. Looking forward to pictures and I've got you down for 30 solids and 24 bi-colors.

 

Laura Lee ~ DH was in Madison last week and said it was really warm for this time of year...sounds like that has changed. Yay for finishing your GT and more progress on the Casa!

 

I'll be gone til later this afternoon. Have a great day, everyone.

I am using the join as you go method. I like the added texture it is giving me and really reminding me of falling leaves.

 

 

What is this method? Because I started a baby blanket, and the sheer volume of ends to weave in made me quit after Row 3!

[hseger]

Mary 4 solids and 8 bi-colors to report!

 

ladies just flying through with my report.

 

Linda sorry to hear Kim has shingles. My MIL just fought that on her face and was miserable. Hope she gets relief soon.

[kidge]

I am making a normal granny to start. Then on the second (and subsequent) square the first row is just the normal ch 3 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2 3 dc ch 2 3 dc ch 2 join w sl st to the beg ch 3 for the second row I turn sl st into the first chain 2, ch 3 2 dc ch 2 3 dc (in the same space), ch 1 3 dc in next ch space. then sc in a corner space of the square I want to join to 3 dc in same space of the square I am making, sc in the next ch 1 space on the square I am joining to, 3 dc on the sqare I am making. then finish the square I am making. I am joining them diagonally so I am joining two sides at a time.

 

I can post a picture after work cuz I know those instructions are horrid.

[Alaina]

Kidget, what you posted actually makes sense to me. I'll try it later and let you know.

 

Thanks! Alaina

[Misa]

Good day ladies

 

Laura - Great job on completing the GT And you're making wonderful progress on your Casa Hope DD comes home soon so you can post a photo

 

Mary - I'm sorry dear but I'm drawing a blank today What project are you doing now?

 

Karen - Can't wait to see your new baby blanket

 

Cathy - Will we see photos of the flag soon?

 

Donna - Yay for new progress on your IC

 

Well today I'm gonna make some saltines but I have three other projects minimum that I need to start. Where does the time go? I'm afraid the IC and rug will be put on the back burner for a bit since those are ones I'm actually gonna keep.

[tracysthings]

Cara, which other projects are you going to start? Looks like the days of one project at a time are gone.

 

Denise is allowed to cruise the boards and again. She finished her homework today.

Cara, which other projects are you going to start? Looks like the days of one project at a time are gone.

 

Yes, I'm afraid so. I have some holiday patterns I've got to get going on. A few dolls, some other toys, stuff like that. I always hate to say in advance because when I do things never seem to work out right We all remember that awful bear for my niece's baby shower *shudder*

[tracysthings]

Aaaawwwww, Cara, he came out so cute.

[Skysmom]

Hi Heather! I've added 4 solids and 8 bi-colors.

 

Cara ~ don't feel bad. Sometimes I can't remember what I'm working on either. Just plodding along on the double IC.

 

Anyone else having trouble multi-quoting posts? If I just click one post (for multi-quote), it goes straight to the post "box." Pretty minor inconvenience, though.

[Misa]

No it seems to be working for me. Of course, it has taken me a year to get it through my thick head how to work it so I might well be doing it wrong

[Skysmom]

Thanks, Cara. Hmmm, it hasn't worked for me in 2 days. I just tried again and it worked...must be your post that fixed it.

[econ-nerd]

Mary 50 more solids for me.

[sewnsew]

I didn't really get as far as I'd have liked on the BIC. I got one block finished on it but I only made 11 saltines. I was pretty tired last night so I went to bed early.
