Wow Dorothy, first I have to say 741 yo-yos? That's an average of 2 per day. I am afraid to ask what "373/365" means for your Boxing Day CAL!

Nicole usually does a charity CAL once a month, but maybe she won't this month because of the holiday. So I will join up. I mostly do kennel blankets for an animal rescue, is that ok?

Hello and Welcome! Any thing that you want to do for charity is GREAT!!!!!!

 

I set a goal to do 365 things for charity, hats scarves or what ever else struck my fancy... I wound up with 373 hats. Uncounted scarves and a few lapghans for the hospice center.

[basjordan]

Sign me up again! Once again, I'll have 50 hats for the brain surgery patients as my goal. Let's see if I can get the last 8 done this year....http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=80410

[dorothysgirls]

Denise and Beth!! Thank you for joining me

[patterncollector]

I'll be participating again in 2011. I'll be making hats for the homeless shelters and local collections.

[dorothysgirls]

pattern!!!!

[jenniferelyse74]

I'm in. This year I sent several (not sure how many) baby ghans to Kathryn for her NICU babies. I'll be doing that again. Also, I just joined the HAP group so I will be making rectangles. I'll have to think about a goal. I want something challenging but realistic.

 

I think I will try 24 ghans and 48 rectangles. That's 2 and 4 per month. I am hoping to do many more but we'll have to see...

[dorothysgirls]

Jenifer!

[Needle Arts]

I'll join you this year. Most of my crocheting is for charity and it would be fun to have a better record of what I accomplish.

[dorothysgirls]

Darlene!

 

I think I have everyone added and all up to date so far! I am happy that there are so many people that are intersted in this again this year!

[mommy2alex]

Count me in too! I'll be working on NICU blankets and HAP rectangles. I'm going to make my goal 10 NICU blankets and 150 rectangles.

[dorothysgirls]

Lisa!

[Needle Arts]

Oops. Forgot to tell you I'll be working on hats of various sizes, 6x9 rectangles, and going to try and get a jump on some mittens.

[Lilly Flower]

I will try to join! It sounds fun! If I can make 12 things for charity that would be a good number. I definately need some motivation. I will probably be doing whatever strikes my fancy at the moment because I have a hard time sticking to just one object or idea! Thanks for running this! You did a great job this past year! I could never make all those hats in just 365 days! Congrats!

Lilly Flower!

Good morning Ladies!!

I hope that every had a great Christmas! I have worked every day since the 23rd on average 15 hours a day.... With a very demanding client. I am hoping that things will calm down enough to get hooking!!!

[Wrennie]

I was going to keep track of how many snuggles I make in 2011 on my own. I will join here so I can start right away and play with you all!

One infant hat done, two new patterns FROGGED! At least I know the pattern I don't like.

[Grammy Roberts]

I will join but I will need someone to keep me motivation as this year I didn't to well on keep up on this. I planning on making hats and mittens for the local Headstart. Setting a goal for my self at 45.

[Wrennie]

My snuggles; vixen tested and approved. The lighter blue is also a square for the 12"afghan cal 2011. But I'm making then for snuggles instead of an afghan.

[babypoohsmom]

Oh wrennie, your snuggles are so up town! I use up donated scraps to make mine, so they are a bit more - eclectic! I've finished one, so I should have a picture posted soon.

I hope its ok to join still. I will be making hats for a homeless shelter and hope to make one each week so that would be 52 for the year.

90% of my yarn is gifted to me or thrift store partial skeins. The blue & tan was ILTY all the others were thrift yarn. The center left one is made with 5 strands of baby weight yarns, and an L hook.

I have a magic ball started that I'll mix with a couple strands of solid for a more mixed look.
