Thanks for the tip on how to wash the squares- my biggest fear is that I'll wash them and they fall apart....

Stacy's here!

 

:hi

 

congrats on your new home!!!!

[irishrose]

Thanks LeaAnne!

 

WIMs: (5-2 now, BTW)

pillows for cousin

wool-eater afghan

the cardi that Stacy shared

hats for charity

...and on and on and on

 

Stacy- Doesn't your house look even better with your stuff in it???

[irishrose]

I'm afraid mine will fall apart too. When I washed my Gram's prayer shawl, some of the ends came out. Is that normal? I had used Homespun.

[a_stitchintime]

Joanne - they won't fall apart... you could put them in a lingerie bag, if your too nervous. I was the first few times I washed projects, too.

[_Stacy_]

Joanne! Shannon! Leanne!

 

The party was okay. We left a little early and Jorge's parents are going to bring the girls home because they weren't ready to leave. We were tired, though, and just wanted to rest.

We didn't get anything else moved today. I am supposed to pack up most of what is left tomorrow and Tuesday and we are going to take it Tuesday night after karate. Then I will have all of Wednesday to get packed. LoL

 

[_Stacy_]

I'm always afraid to wash my projects, too! I washed something once and the ends all came undone.

 

How's the game going?

[irishrose]

Stacy, you're going to feel so much better after you get back that this is all done! This has happened so fast for you!

[imanurse55]

This is what my DD just sent me about the Red Sox...they will win again. i think. maybe. hopefully...

[a_stitchintime]

That's a pretty good list, Shannon!

You could do what I do and start like.... ALL of them! I'm kidding.

it is good though, to sometimes have more than 1 project going, then you can take a break of 1 and work on another.

 

...and it is normal for edges to fall apart on Homespun. I still can't that stuff...

[imanurse55]

I'm always afraid to wash my projects, too! I washed something once and the ends all came undone.

 

How's the game going?

:eekOh no, I will cry if that happens when I wash the bestie squares

 

Game is going great for me...not so great for LeaAnne..and I'm not sure who Shannon is rooting for....she is probably being kind and not taking sides.

[irishrose]

:whewI'm glad it's not just me. I wish I could start different projects, but I don't think I could do it. I'm a one-at-a-time kind of girl!

I did find a turkey square that I like for a pillow, but I haven't read through the pattern yet.

[a_stitchintime]

Joanne - tell DD I share her sentiments... we may have to concede that it might finally be the Yankees year

 

Stacy - You are going to be all moved before you go? HOLY MOLY, girl! Give Jorge a hug... he needs one!... then tell him we said you need one too!

[imanurse55]

That's a good idea LeaAnne to use a lingerie bag- I think I will do that- I'm not going to wash them until I get back from Baltimore, because if anything happens to them, I will not have a good time....

[a_stitchintime]

I think I read earlier "Go Yankees", when Shannon was going for a rest:lol:lol

 

Shannon - is there a link for that turkey pillow pattern?

[imanurse55]

Yes, Stacy- you are surely getting a lot done in a very short amount of time. Hugs to you and to Jorge (and the DD's)

[irishrose]

Actually I've grown up being a Yankees fan, with my parents being from NY and all. I usually don't start watching until the playoffs though. Football though, is another story! I love football! In fact, I had a dream last night that Brett Favre gave me his autograph. I love Brett Favre!

[imanurse55]

Mariano Rivera is just awesome

[a_stitchintime]

Just make sure they are tied off well, and the ends are tucked in, and you shouldn't have a problem. ...and I don't blame you for waiting!

 

Stacy - I forgot to mention earlier how pretty that cardigan is tha tyou are making... what color will it be?

[irishrose]

Sorry LeaAnne. I'm computer-stupid and don't know how to do links. I'll find it and let you know where you can see it.

[_Stacy_]

We're not going to be completely moved before we leave. We are aiming for the weekend that we come back, getting everything else finished. I'm going to need at least a week to clean this place up, although the manager said the "life expectancy" on the paint and carpet is 5 years. We've been here 5-1/2.

 

Shannon...maybe you haven't been crocheting long enough to have multiple projects going at once. I always swore I would do one at a time, and it worked for a while. Then another one caught my eye, and I started it to break up the monotony...then another, and another....

[a_stitchintime]

... is Brett Favre still retired? LOL....

 

He is a good QB. I don't think he should've left Green Bay, though... He just didn't look right in Jets' green:P

[imanurse55]

Brett has finally decided to retire.

 

The Titans were playing tonight against the Bills What football team do you root for?

[a_stitchintime]

... so the manager should've gotten you paint and carpet about 6 months ago, right? Or is this what they are saying to get out of returning your security deposit?

[_Stacy_]

You guys amaze me with your sports-minded-ness. Dh is a huge football fan, but I just cannot get into them at all.

 

The cardigan is super-easy! I started it two nights ago and am already half-way down the back. It is going to be a earthy green color...it will probably look good with my red hair. LoL I haven't even started the sleeves but it forms a sort-of cap-sleeve right from the start and I might just keep it like that.
