Hi, Mary...I'm still lurking...one day I hope to work on my ATW again:P

[Aussie]

Judy you will get it done dont worry.

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

 

Linda M - Yep the squares are totally addicting. I've now got almost 12 years of little squares and I still think of dozens of patterns Glad you're having fun with it

 

Judy - That's okay I haven't finished my ATW yet either

[judianne]

Judy - That's okay I haven't finished my ATW yet either

I feel better...I didn't even remember you had started one:eek

It's been a while It sits under the table in a basket and taunts me once in a while

[tracysthings]

everyone.

 

Mary, we got here, haven't seen Denise yet, she is working until 8pm. They gave me a key ages ago so we could get in if we ever needed to. So far all I have done is eat, sleep and drink coffee. I have got Just Ducky out to be working on it.

 

Linda M, for almost being finished, those yellows looked so pretty together.

 

Wendy, you see, you will finish CT before the Olympics.

 

The ATW is one of the WIP I brought with me to work on, going to see if can get mom to start one as well.

[Skysmom]

Wendy, I've added your squares to the list.

 

Hi Tracy~I'm glad you had a safe trip and are settled in with your hook.

 

Cara, you've been so busy with other projects...maybe move the ATW to another room so it can't taunt you.

 

Speaking of the ATW - Do you join 2 sides at a time? I've always joined in rows, so do you just leave a longer than normal tail and join the side and top to existing squares?

Hi, everyone. I slept in Paige's bed last night. An upper bunk bed in a princess castle. Had quite a time getting into it, but I did get to sleep uninterrupted until 10:00 this morning. Such a treat! Then I had to figure out how to get down! NOT graceful. But at least I was out of the early morning traffic pattern.

 

Mary, reporting in with 24 solids, 4 bi-colors, and 8 4-colors today. That's another block of squares for the painted desert.

 

John and Kim and the grandchildren are going out again this afternoon/evening so I'll get some quiet time again today. Yeah!

[Misa]

Linda - So that's the secret to a good night's sleep! Sleep in a princess bed

[tracysthings]

Mary, 21 solids and 3 bicolours, please. .

[Krystal16]

It's a good thing there were no peas in the princess bed!

Hello everyone!

So I will finally add my name to the list of saltines but with a twist. I started a blanket for my co-workers dd but didn't want as many holes so I'm making single crochet 2" squares. Also, for some reason I can whip up a single crochet square in half the time it takes me to do a saltine. I've decided to call them "graham crackers" because they look like a half of graham cracker! They are the perfect project to keep in my desk at work and work on during calls! (ssshhh don't tell the boss! ) Anyways I have finished 10 "grahams" just yesterday in the 3 hours I was at work before I left early. I will continue to work a little on them during work hours and will post how many I finish each week.

I was also messing around with graph paper and have come up with a few more designs (will post pics someday....) so there are many more "grahams" in my future!

Krystal~loved the heffalump that was in your avatar a few days ago! My dd's room is done in Eeyore and heffalumps! Cute!

Ohhh, hurry up and post pictures please! I love seeing pictures!

 

I really wish I had called in sick to work tonight. No, I'm not sick, I'm just not up to dealing with people. It took almost 45 minutes for my first sale. No big deal there. But, in that time frame I had a kid doing a prank call who was trying to sound like the convenience store clerk from Simpsons. And I had some guy who apparently was too cheap to pay for a 900 number Oh, and let's not forget the lady who took almost 2 minutes to get around to the question she wanted to ask because she apparently felt I needed to know that she has all these other items already

Morning everyone

 

Mary when I did the ATW I left a longer thread so I could do both sides of the saltine. I didnt sew in rows.

 

Linda great progress on the saltines. Are those 4 color squares easy to do.

 

Pickles I would love to see your designs and I like the idea of you calling your squares Grahams. I have never heard of Grahams crackers so do you do the first row as normal and then the second row do you dc in each stitch and 6 in the corner:think

 

I need to print out my Koala cuddle and I want to break it down into 4 blocks makes it easier. Then I want to get all my yarn ready, have it winded into pull balls so I can just keep it all in a icecream container, makes it so much easier.

Hi Linda~So glad you had a good night...this may be your only chance to sleep in a princess castle. I've added your squares - WTG!

 

Mary, 21 solids and 3 bicolours, please. .

 

Yay, Tracy! Are you working on Just Ducky? Can't wait to see what colors you've chosen.

[tracysthings]

Mary. Yes, I was working on Just Ducky. I was thinking I might take a photo tomorrow to show, it kind of looks like something now that I have started the duck.

[Skysmom]

Pickles, I love the idea of graham crackers. I'll put you on the list with the first 10 for now. How is that darling baby girl?

 

Hi Val~sorry about the frustrations at work. I remember well...and having to grit my teeth for the "customer who is always right."

 

Thanks, Wendy. I've loved seeing the pictures of the ATWs and may have to make one before long.

 

Tracy~oh yes! We would love a picture! I know - it's hard to tell what it is until you see the duck in the picture.

Morning everyone

 

 

Pickles I would love to see your designs and I like the idea of you calling your squares Grahams. I have never heard of Grahams crackers so do you do the first row as normal and then the second row do you dc in each stitch and 6 in the corner:think

 

 

You chain 13, sc in the 2nd ch from hook, sc across, ch 1 turn, sc across, repeat until square (because of guage the number of rows varies) if you crochet tight enough you dont even need a sc border around the square but you can if you feel neccesary then just do 3 sc in each corner. I have a book of different squares and motifs (the title escapes me at the moment, will let you know as soon as I find the book ) that has the bi color square in it so I figured the solid square from that.

[ThoseDarnPickles]

Pickles, I love the idea of graham crackers. I'll put you on the list with the first 10 for now. How is that darling baby girl?

 

 

She is doing great! Thanks for asking! We were able to take her swimming for the first time last weekend! A friend of ours has a "ozone" filtered pool. Don't know the specifics of how it works but it uses NO chemicals so it was baby safe! Found her the cutest swimsuit on sale at Childrens Place. I have great pics that I will post shortly. The friend is a bit of a photographer so she did a great job! And baby Lennon LOVED the pool!

[Ninn]

These are gorgeous! I am going to try the Amish Star, as a ghan I started in a similar vein just isn't coming out the way I would like!

[ThoseDarnPickles]

As promised, I present, Lennon's first swim!

[Skysmom]

Lennon is absolutely adorable. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures...can you tell I really want to be a grandma?

 

See you all tomorrow.

[Priszm]

Awww! She's adorable!

[Misa]

Lennon's adorable, Pickles
