Some good clean fun?! [Archive 1]

Yodeling isn't a lost art in this house. DD loves to yodel!!

I'm trying to get some ideas for the pillows. I'm really nervous about having them done on time. I know I have a while, but I'm a slow crocheter!

[miss scarlet]

I got 4 dishcloths done and the girl the party was at crochets too and wants me to show her a pattern for a baby blanket, She just crochets straight and wants to learn a different pattern

[irishrose]

I don't know if I could draw one, and I don't know how to follow like that.

[irishrose]

Mary for finding a fellow crocheter! And for getting so much done!

[_Stacy_]

Mary it's so cool that you found another crocheter! And that she wants you to show her a pattern. 4 dishclothes- your hooks must be on fire!

[a_stitchintime]

Mary, that's neat... what are/did you show her?

 

Shannon - don't worry... just start 1 at a time. the patterns will come as you need them. If you are like me at all, you will line them all up, and then and not be able to decide what to do first...it can be overwhelming sometimes

 

Stacy - I think it would be great if you sent your new addy to everyone. I don't see it as confusing...

[irishrose]

I agree. I would send everyone your new address, just in case.

[irishrose]

I think I might try to do the pillows as the holidays come around. I'm going to do your flag square first, then I can do Halloween, then Thanksgiving....it will probably be easier to stay focused if I'm in the appropriate "holiday spirit"!

[a_stitchintime]

... that fleur de lis wouldn't be done in black and gold, would it????

[a_stitchintime]

that's a great plan, Shannon!

[a_stitchintime]

I was just thinking... if you made an extra bestie square, you would have Mardi Gras covered, right?

[irishrose]

It might be....but actually it's become a really popular thing down here, especially since Katrina. There's a lot of purple/gold ones out there too. (Go LSU!)

[a_stitchintime]

Stacy, did your girls get home yet?

[a_stitchintime]

yes. the LSU Tigers! I watch them a lot:yes

[irishrose]

That is true, I would. Silly me, I forgot all about Mardi Gras, even while staring at all this purple/green/gold yarn!

[miss scarlet]

I brought yarn with me so I can crochet out here............. I have to keep my fingers moving LOL

[a_stitchintime]

[irishrose]

Wow! That's a bit surprising, with you being all the way up there and all! You should come down and we can go to a game. I've never been to a game!

[a_stitchintime]

Mary, do you find that your fingers stiffen up if you take too long a break from crocheting? I can always tell when I am due some time by my fingers. Stitchin keeps them loose.

[_Stacy_]

Shannon- I just found a graph pattern for one at crochet.com. Just do a search from "fleur-di-lis crochet pattern" and it is the first link, I think.

 

Sorry for the pause- my IL's called to say they were downstairs with the girls.

[a_stitchintime]

That sounds like fun! HOnestly, I always wanted to go to a Saints game, and NO is one place that I have always wanted to visit. My sisters have been, but I haven't made it... yet.

We get all sorts of different college games on TV. LSU gets quite a bit of airtime up here:shrug

[miss scarlet]

Yes LeaAnne if I don't crochet my fingers start to hurt........... just so use to it now, I have to keep doing it

[irishrose]

Thank you Stacy!!

[miss scarlet]

Stacy send me your new address and I will send square there. Did you get a house???

[irishrose]

I wouldn't mind going to see the Saints. I think I was 12 the last time I went to a game. Anyone else want to meet in NO? Too bad Mardi Gras isn't during football season!
