Some good clean fun?! [Archive 1]

Wow there are 4400 posts on our thread.

LeaAnne- thanks for starting this one!

[a_stitchintime]

Your DD and my sister are the same height, and say the same thing:lol

 

see, Stacy? that 1/2" makes all the difference:yes

[_Stacy_]

Ooh Joanne, how pretty! I love it.

 

Leanne, yes, that's what I do. I cook the meat and the potatoes, then mix them in a pan (after draining the meat of course) then put it in corn tortilla and fry it. I don't think it could get anymore bad for you. LoL

[a_stitchintime]

Yay for BESTIES!:cheer

 

I think it was Shannon and Colleen and Stacy? who said we needed this CAL! I am glad we started it, too!

 

Who knew how much fun cleaning <ahem>.. yeah whatever! could be?!

[_Stacy_]

It was your idea that we agreed to, though! Anyway, yay for us!

[imanurse55]

Yea, we do lots of cleaning here:yes:devil

[a_stitchintime]

it kind of sounds like a tortilla version of tourtierre pie. I wish Mary was here, she would love that! I'm told it's a Canadian dish. My family used to have it a lot. Meat and potatoes and seasonings, stirred up, and baked in a pie crust. Very filling, as these tacos sounds like they would be.

Stacy, have you started your RR yet? I'm having a hard time with round 1. Do you have to crochet the ch really loosely?

[irishrose]

Those sound really yummy!

[imanurse55]

I think Colleen is the one that does the most cleaning --her and Mary---must be a Canadian thing:lol

[a_stitchintime]

When we started it was spring cleaning season, and we were all behind the 8 ball, if I recall...

And look! it's fall cleaning time already... Good Grief!

[irishrose]

It's certainly not me!!

[_Stacy_]

Roomie actually commented that it's like shepherd's pie in a tortilla, which I suppose is true.

 

Shannon, I'm about 20 rows into it. Which pattern are you using? Yes, I would say chain really loosely, or add a chain or two. But no more than 2 or it might screw with the ruffle-ness.

[a_stitchintime]

Joanne, you crack me up! :rofl

[irishrose]

I'm using teakaycee's pattern. It says to do 12 dcs in the 4th ch. It's a little tight!

[imanurse55]

I got 4 rounds done without a problem- I hit a problem at round 5- and had to frog it. Colleen helped me out last night- and I think I get it---but since I was going to Philly today I just took the never ending square ghan with me since it was mindless.

 

It was the first time I crocheted in public- we went to a cafe this afternoon- middle DD was studying for the GRE for grad school (going to try and start in Jan- for her masters in art and education) and youngest DD has to take her ER nurse re-certification so she was studying for that. It felt kind of neat to pull out the hook and yarn in a public place.

[_Stacy_]

Yes that's what mine calls for, too. do you have a 10 mm hook? You could try using that for the beginning chain, or do an extra chain just to see.

[_Stacy_]

That's cool, Joanne! I love to hook in public. I was doing it on the plane and the woman sitting next to me recognized it right away. Her mother does, I guess. But I was amazed that someone actually said crochet instead of knit.

... I just finished tonight cleaning up from the first day of school explosion!

I came home from the PTO coffee hour, looked around:eek:eek, put my sneakers on and went for a walk instead! when I got back, I sat outside, all by myself (well, my little doggie was with me), and enjoyed the peace and quiet. How's that for a strike?

[irishrose]

Okay, I'll try that. Thank you.

 

Sleepless in Seattle is on. I love this movie!

[imanurse55]

I'm using the one that Colleen used- the one posted by Crochet Dad. it is a 9 point RR- and you chain 4 and put 8 DC into the loop.

 

Did you know that Sunday is International Crochet Day?

[a_stitchintime]

I love that movie, too! it's a classic.

 

Joanne - for whipping out the in public! It's very liberating, and relaxing!

[_Stacy_]

I'm using the sunshine round ripple. It's also a 12-point.

 

Leanne, great job boycotting! How was the first day, anyway?

[_Stacy_]

Leanne, I read that as "whipping it out in public!"

[a_stitchintime]

I didn't know that Sunday is International Crochet Day. How cool! How did you find out?
