Good night, Wendy. Only one more day until the weekend.

[Krystal16]

Oh, I got that LL Bean catalog yesterday, now what did I do with it?

[tracysthings]

Here is the progress on Just Ducky.

[Skysmom]

Awww - He's so cute! I love the colors you're using. Doesn't he just make you smile?

Tracy, Just Ducky looks great! You're doing a wonderful job on it!

 

Good morning, everyone. I've been working on the filet this morning, but I'll have to check and see where I'm at in the next block of saltines for Painted Desert. I have some done, but not sure how many. I have to get back to that soon.

[tracysthings]

Thank you, ladies.

[crocrazy]

Too cute Tracy!

[luvtocrochet757]

Just popped in to say hello. Will check back later.

Tracy - The ducky looks great

[tracysthings]

Mary, 18 solids and 1 bicolour again, please.

 

One of the tiles are broken. I ran out of yarn on the LAST green saltine, so finished it off with cream. Mom says it is hardly noticable.

Tracy - Well, the Amish (the greatest quiltmakers in the world) always put an intentional "mistake" in a quilt. The theory is that only the Creator can be flawless. So I'd say you're in good company

[jmccrochet]

I know I'm fairly new to this CAL, so forgive me for this, but I wanted to point out the humility block thing is apparently a myth. See here and here

For the Amish, it would be prideful to even presume they need to intentionally make a mistake.

However, I think all things handmade would suffer the inevitable error, that's part of the charm of handmade.

Apparently, however, the concept of the deliberate mistake existed in rugmaking.

[Misa]

Joyce - Well I stand corrected. Not the first time and I know it won't be the last But still I like the quirky creativity of some mistakes Thanks for sharing

[jmccrochet]

Oh, I totally agree. I don't think I have made anything without a mistake in it. I just had read up on the Amish thing (I work in a community that has a huge Amish population).

[judianne]

I don't have to "intentionally" put in a mistake, either - happens with every project I make:lol

[econ-nerd]

Every project of mine has some little boo-boo in it - and a long hair or two usually gets crocheted into everything too I usually don't notice the hair until it has been firmly stitched in place

[tracysthings]

I usually have a mistake or two somewhere, too.

 

Karen, I also seem to get hair into everything I make. And it's not like I have a hairbrush near it or anything. I just think, "the person getting it will have a piece of me, too."

[Misa]

I don't even wanna think about how much hair DNA is in my stuff One of my meds makes my hair fall out

[Priszm]

I just figure those little mistakes make the item that much more personalized

[jmccrochet]

Oh, yeah, my hair is adorning several gifted items.

[tracysthings]

Cara, at least you have an excuse for your hair falling out. Mine is ALWAYS tied up and it stills falls out. Maybe I should start blaming Kyla?

You're supposed to blame Kyla for gray hair not missing hair

[tracysthings]

I won't be surprised to find grey hair soon, though I can't blame that all on her. Her hair is always lose and was thinking that I could say it was her hair being crocheted?
