A Doily to Blanket A~Long

[teakaycee]

finished mine in record time! I used the summer splender pattern...its utterly delightfull to make, well written and easy to follow and has made a lovely baby afgan! I totally love this idea!

Wow!!! that came out really neat!!!!

[teakaycee]

This is what I have so far.

I'm making this for my mom for Mother's Day! I think she would love to have a Doily style afghan to hang on the back of her couch!

ok stats! lol

I used an unknown brand of a fine 1ply cotton mixed with viscose yarn, it is on a huge cone so Im guessing its ment for machine knitting, I used my yarn winder and made yarn cakes so that I could use 4 strands held together that comes out at about double knit weight ( light sports weight? ) I used a 5mm hook ( bamboo ) and the pattern calls for 26 rounds of which I did 25 opting to leave off the final round....it worked up at aprox 80cm across x but I guess its different each time you make it according to your yarn choice xx:hook

[Wrennie]

ok. Finished all but blocking it. It only came out 28" unblocked. Not the greatest picture but I loved doing it. I want to do another. I just have to get some more yarn when funds come in. I have a long list of patterns I've already picked out so narrowing it down may be hard. lol

 

eta: boy the color sure didn't come through. It's Vanna's Choice SeaSpray Mist, a light greenish, kind of fading light to a bit darker.

What pattern did you use? It's very pretty.

Here is my first one. I have many others that I want to try. It is loosely based on this design.

I made so many changes that it is hardly recognizeable.

[Shell Lee]

gorgeous!

[ddc]

Very pretty.

 

As for myself - :bang

 

Remember I posted that I had to frog almost a whole outer row because I hadn't completed a shell? Well, I got to the same place today and -- on the redo, I had just carried on and STILL had not completed the shell. I had to frog it all again.

 

I'm going to go bang my head on a brick wall for a couple of hours so that they will have to give me the brain transplant I so obviously need, and I'll kick myself all the way to the emergency room so they can do it. They obviously won't have to waste much time taking out my current brain, because it has clearly shrunk to about the size of pebble. I could be the poster child for "dumb as a box of rocks."

 

Sigh. Off to do it again.

Sorry that you have to frog again.

I didn't get back to That Round last night. Couldn't face it. When I finish it, again, I think I will have crocheted about a quarter mile of it. I'm off work early today so maybe tonight.

[tralee]

I started the Romantic Pineapples this morning. I am using size 3 thread and a Boye F hook. I am loving it so far.

I am sorry I've been mia for the past several days. Last week we received some news from my husbands dr. He has colon cancer, the dr. thinks he got it all, but we are going to another dr. tomorrow to see if/what to do next. We spent the past weekend in Gatlinburg Tn just to have some time together as a family and try not to worry to much. It was a good trip and seemed to help put things in perspective for us all. We are just trusting the Lord to see us through. Please keep him in your prayers.

So sorry to hear this. So glad that they think they got it all. You've put your trust in exactly the right place. He will see you through. He will never fail you. Praying for your family.
