September '10 Charity CAL 9/16 - 9/21

[busy-bee-lmt]

All right, we're a small, but proud group this month! I'm all ready to get started. I had a new bible study start last week. It's on Thursday so I won't get much done tomorrow evening. I'll stop in and check in all of you though. Someone has to keep you all in line.

Aint it the truth! :lol

 

I've got three projects to work on. A prayer shawl, a RR lapghan for the nursing home, and 4 inch squares for a comfort ghan for a little girl just diagnosed with cancer. The first two are started, but far from done.

 

Have a great day, everyone.

I'm still planning on making slippers. I hope to get a few pairs done anyway. They are going to a local nursing home. I live close to a large hospital so there are a lot of nursning and retirement homes around.

I keep calling it a bible study, but it isn't really. It's a study on Church history. It just happens to be the adult bible study group. I guess there is some bible discussion in there though.

Of course, you may join us! Welcome to the group! I'm half way through an 8" square. I had to frog it and restart it as my guage was off.

[nicolep]

Sounds like everyone is making good progress!

 

I get off work at 12:30 today so I hope to get some slippers done this afternoon. I need to stop by the store and get some yarn though. I want to make them bright. I don't have the right Vanna's Choice in my stash to make them.

[a_stitchintime]

Top O' the Mornin', Charity CALers!

 

Happy Friday!!!!

 

Just wanted to stop in and wish you all a "Stitchin' Day"!

 

[pineknott]

I'm in, have two scarves to finish,and then I can move on to other things

[Needle Arts]

Stopping in to see how you are doing and support your efforts. Lost my crochet mojo a couple of months ago and have not picked up a hook in many weeks. Now that it is raining, or overcast and grey outside, almost daily, I am sure my stash will be calling my name again soon. Think a small portable project would be the way to get back into my groove. Keep up the good work ladies...I have been lurking, just not posting.

[nicolep]

pineknott - Welcome!

 

Darlene - Good to hear from you! I hope your crochet mojo comes back soon. Maybe a small project for yourself will help.

 

 

 

Well, I'm almost finished with my first slipper. It's really more of a sock, but in worsted weight yarn. They should be very warm for the residents in the nursing home. I had to go to Petsmart after work so I didn't get started until about 4:00 even though I got off work at 1:00.

[tmpinsnty]

darlene- i know what you mean!

 

nicole be in indy sunday and monday! should be able to get a lot a work done

[busy-bee-lmt]

After talking to the director at the local nursing home I've started another RR lapghan for a little lady resident who likes red, is always cold, and turns 106 next Friday. I'll be working on it big time this weekend.

[ratdog]

I have completed the four "paws" of the bearghan. I will try and get the head and tummy done tomorrow.

[tmpinsnty]

i was able to squeeze in a few rows with over 500 miles in between...

[nicolep]

It sounds like everyone is plugging along well!

 

I finished my first pair of slippers for the nursing home. They are very soft and warm. I hope the person who gets them enjoys them.

 

Here's a picture...

 

 

 

Oh and Hank wanted to say hi!

 

[PiscesCrocheter]

Hank, your such a cutie just had to say hi back

 

Nicole love your slippers, what pattern did you use? I will be working on scarves with my mom, and other undetermined charity things.
