I need to get yarn for the angel ghan also.

 

Cara~Have you been able to figure out approximate amounts for the angel ghan? I would figure it out but i'm not that smart.

 

Yeah, I posted yarn amounts last week I think Lemme try to find the post

[tracysthings]

Cara, I like most peppermint sweets. And wotsits don't last long in this house. There are 3 of us that like them and 2 of those 3 eat 2 or 3 bags at a time.

[Misa]

Here it is Tab. K told me how to link a post once but I've forgotten how So I will just do it the quick and easy way

 

Okay here's the math on the angel........

 

 

Burgundy - 24 oz

Aran - 29 oz

White - 10 oz

Buff - 2 oz

Brown - 2 oz

Blue - 6 oz

Gold - 1 oz

Black - 1 oz

 

And I hope I didn't miss anything

I'm gonna have to find a domestic source for those Wotsits. They're better than the cheese puffs we have around here AND they're only 95 calories for that bag. Perfect for my Weight Watcher's program That and the Curly Wurlys. My sister's gotten hooked on them too I need to order some for her b-day in April

I'm back and thankfully they didn't do $500 worth of stuff! It was only $190 something. I know they wanted me prepared since none of my deductible has yet been meet. Doc wants me to go to PT and get some exercises to strengthen the muscles around my knees. I'm also slightly bow legged, which apparently happens frequently with women, and that might also be affecting my knees.

 

Well at least you do not have to sell your arm or leg.

That be a lot of yarn woman! I am glad I cannot afford that right now.

I think I pry have most of the yarn in my stash for the angel ghan the only one i know i dont have would be gold.

 

Hi Dusti I am Andrea sorry to hear about the miscarriage and the ghan is gorgeous way to go.

 

Mary, where do you live? I live in Ohio and they are calling for lots of snow starting tomorrow night into Weds. they are saying 4-6 inches.

 

Julie hope everything went well with the surgery.

 

Me im still working on saltines i have almost all 50 of the lt purple done for the ATW.

[rii698]

"Gulp!" is absolutely right, Val. I am glad the orthopedic's 'warning' was just to give you a head's-up, but I am really glad to read that your bill is not, actually, your whole deductible in one-fell-swoop. Here's hoping the physical therapy and follow-up appts go well and give you some relief from the pain!

 

You could join us all in making Caras new pattern the Angel ghan, we are all starting first of feb.

I'm tempted... I am going to go back and look at her pattern this afternoon to see the finished size of the angel. My girls attend a parochial school, and I can just plan ahead and make the angel to donate next spring

 

Oh Dusti, I'm so very sorry about the miscarriage Been there twice and that's rough. But we're just so tickled to have you back

Your DIC is fabulous!

Thank you This is our 2nd, as well, and I can't say it gets any easier. The pregnancy started off roughly, and when the u/s at 19 wks showed the baby was measuring a lot smaller than "normal," we were quite concerned. My blood pressure sky-rocketed a few days later, and that was just...the best for everyone (we have to think that, anyway). The girls did not know, yet, and now I am back operating at full-speed.

 

Howdy Ladies. I finished one block on the flag ghan & made 8 saltines for the last block. The end is near, yippee! I figure even with work the rest of the week I should still be able to finish it.

Wow, you are getting close to the end, now. Anxiously awaiting pictures

 

Mary ~ stay warm and bundled up if your rain turns into ice. Did you get out to shop for the fur babies? Bad weather is a great excuse to relax and crochet

Hi, Andrea! It's nice to meet you, too Have you had lots of snow this winter, too? I went to college in central IN, though I taught in Eaton, OH for 4 years. Those years, we did not get much snow, but since I left the area, my friends there tell me the winters are more Minnesota-like than ever. Drive carefully if you have to go out-and-about. Good luck on the ATW What size are you making?

Here it is Tab. K told me how to link a post once but I've forgotten how So I will just do it the quick and easy way

 

Thank you so much for that. I'm sorry I missed it. I miss alot around here. First the angel, now the amounts among a ton of other stuff. Geesh, didn't people realize this was my full time job. Why oh why did I have to get another one?? Sorry just feeling sorry for myself today. I guess i'm just fed up.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Dusti~This is what my flag ghan looked like a ways back. I now have 5 blocks done & together, 1 more stripes one left to go.

Beautiful, crisp look, Tabby....:cheer

[Tia]

That's beautiful Tabitha! Man this thread moves fast. I can't keep up with it.

 

My yarn from Crafts etc. came so now I have all the colors I need for my Chains & Diamonds 'ghan. I have made enough squares that I can start joining the first row together.

 

After I get a few rows finished I'll be sure and post a pic.

[Krystal16]

Tia - you want a fast thread? Come over to SKY!

[Misa]

That be a lot of yarn woman! I am glad I cannot afford that right now.

 

Not that bad. Using 7 oz skeins it only works out to 4 skeins of burgundy, 5 skeins of Aran and 2 skeins of white that really need more than just basically scraps.

That still just totally impresses me! I love this pattern

I was just gonna say that

Thankfully, it wasn't as much as predicted! I hope the exercises help.

 

Afternoon everyone. I've got 21 solids to report.

 

So far I'm working on the scrappy doo only.

 

I figure for the angel ghan I'll work on the colors I have and then grab the others when I can afford the whole color. I'd hate to have trouble with the color lots. And we all know how RHSS no dye lots can be different.

Hi Donna! 21 more added to the list.

 

Mary, where do you live? I live in Ohio and they are calling for lots of snow starting tomorrow night into Weds. they are saying 4-6 inches. Me im still working on saltines i have almost all 50 of the lt purple done for the ATW.

Andrea, I live in a suburb of Fort Worth. Now they're saying the ice should be here around midnight. Way to go on so many squares.

Oh, it's so pretty, Tabby. Thanks for sharing the picture.

 

That's beautiful Tabitha! Man this thread moves fast. I can't keep up with it.

Congratulations on getting your yarn! And, as you know, we love pictures.

 

Hi to everyone else, too! I'm reporting 33 solids and 6 bi-colors...enough to finish through the 7th row of Pete, the Penguin. I'm experimenting with names for him.

Pete the Penguin, huh? I like it

[Skysmom]

I've just been playing around with names while making squares. How about Pedro? Or maybe Patrick?

Cant wait to see your progress.

Aren't those the best? I love them because they're soft and melty I left my second packet of Wotsits to share with BD but he hasn't touched them. They may end up my afternoon snack

 

Oh we loved those wotsits, they are like our cheese balls and very moreish, one packet is not enough.

[Misa]

Well, I called him Pepe the whole time I was designing him. Don't know what in the world possessed me to call him Pepe but Pepe he was

I know! I now have a new addiction Wish I'd get some that didn't require overseas postage

If I did not have to save all my extra money to go to San Diego next month I'd go bust my stash score even more & go buy the yarn & try them blasted bicolor granny squares. But instead I'll be a good girl & not buy any yarn.

[Tia]

I checked out that Sky thread. Wow! Seems like someone posts every couple minutes. If I joined I'd post a pic of me crocheting while on my elliptical machine!

 

Yes, you heard that right.

[msmusic]

Howdy everyone - popping in to say that I hope to join the saltine clan here in a few weeks after I finish some RRs. I decided to make the Garden Cat afghan from freepatterns.com for a friend that has helped our family with some major sewing projects for my stepdaughter - it's her turn to get one of my afghans and this will be perfect. Can't wait to get started.

 

See you soon!

[andrea2006]

Dusti the winter has been more cold than anything couple of days with bad ice the snow just really started within the last month not to bad but when we get it we get it good.

 

Tabby that flag ghan is beautiful.
