Just got an email from my sister that her kids want Alien Hats. So I need to add some alien hats to my list. and I am thinking about making a set of placemants and coasters for my neighbor's vacation house.

[marpan79]

Well, I'm one mitten away from having my 2 kids sets finished to mail out

 

I worked a bit on my spiral ghan and am getting ready to add in the next 2 skeins of yarn and I'm up to 10 rows on my graph ghan.

 

I need to kick my butt into gear

[Alnee]

Sprial ghan? I think I may have missed that one Is there a link that shows that the finished product will look like? It sounds very interesting!!

 

I am waiting impatiently for the UPS man to bring me my box from Herrschners. I love how they put the weight of the shipment on the box... I think it was almost 10lbs... so I may have gone a little overboard on this order... ooops!

I'm so lazy, all I've gotten done so far is a dinosaur ami and half of a scarf. I need to get a list of all I have to finish together, but I doubt that'll happen.

[Nema517]

Can I join this CAL? I've never done one before and this one sounds perfect. I have a lot of projects I want to try to get finished by Christmas. I have two projects finished already. I know I will probably not get all of these completed, but I can try!

8 Dresses for nieces (2/8 completed)

3 Adult Sweaters

1 Child Sweater

1 Vest

Placemats/Toaster Cover

3 Shawls

1 Scarf/Hat

Here is a pic of my spiral ghan thus far I really like how it's coming out. It's an easy pattern and it's from the Crochet World Afghans for Fall 2010. The pattern is Spiral Lapghan by Pauline Turner.

Oh, marissa, that is very pretty!

 

Nema517~sounds like you will be very busy for awhile! Good luck!

 

I really need to get a list together. I seem to just be randomly making things just because they "call me" and I have no destination for them.

[Alnee]

Welcome everyone!!!!! It is great to see so many here and participating!

I made it past the halfway point in my graphghan last night... probably closer to the 2/3rds mark! The end is in sight at last I think! I have never had one take me this long to do!

 

My yarn came yesterday for the 3rd afghan on my list... and my Christmas yarn arrived. A trip to AC Moore earlier this week got my the yarn for afghan #2.. and 3lbs of a gorgeous cotton ombre that I have no idea what I am going to do with!

 

Marisa that spiralghan is gorgeous Love the way it is turning out and the colors you used!
