August Charity CAL - 8/18 - 8/23

[nicolep]

I could not believe it when my phone yelled at me to start the charity CAL today. How could another month have gone by already?!?

 

I hope you all can join me this month for charity crafting.

 

For new comers -

 

Anything handmade (crochet, knit, sew...whatever you like to do) counts towards the charity CAL. A group of us get together once a month and dedicate six days to charity. We chat about what we're making and lots of other non-craft things that pop up. At the end of the event, we post our totals in big, bold letters so we can all see how much a few people can do.

[nicolep]

I'm going to do my best to get both of the HAP afghans I have on hand crocheted together. One of them is a little under half way finished. I haven't started the second yet. As long as nothing major comes up, I should be able to get it done with no problem.

 

I also need to finish a newborn-size shirt, too.

I somehow managed to switch shifts so I dont have to work this weekend.Which means I am in. not sure what I will make probably more stuff for a nicu

[cshort]

I go back to work this week so I'm not sure how much crocheting I will get done but I'm going to try to join in. I'll probably be working on hats.

[nicolep]

Tonya I'm glad you'll be able to join this month

 

cshort - I hope you can stop by some. Are you a teacher?

[busy-bee-lmt]

I'm in. I've been watching for the notice. I'm working on a quilt for a fundraiser for a family with huge medical bills, a prayer shawl, and Uglee dolls. So those will probably be what I'll be working on this time.

Yes I am a teacher. I teach a preschool class for children with autism and developmental delays.

Every month I am as shocked as you are! Who put the calendar on fast forward?? I'm in!!

[busy-bee-lmt]

I got a jump start on the projects for this weekend. I've got the body section of an Uglee doll crocheted. None of the bits and pieces yet, but it's started. This one is in Christmas green.

I know, right?! Before you know it, winter will be here and we'll be talking about Christmas stuff. In truth, I've started gifts already. I'm determined to not wait until the last minute this year.

Go, Linda, go!

Uglee doll #1 has a completed body, 1 attached leg and 1 leg ready to stuff.

[tonyal]

I am going to take some yarn with me tonight to work, depending on which unit Im on I may be able to get some crocheting time in.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Uglee doll #1 done and #2 started. These will go to a friend who is having a fundraiser to help pay medical bills that have become huge during her husband's fight with cancer.

[nicolep]

Linda - You're flying along!

 

I'm going to either work on a comfortghan tonight or HAP afghans. It depends on if the final two squares are at my house or not.

[cshort]

I started a hat this evening, now to see how far I get on it before I fall asleep.

[babypoohsmom]

Nicole, did you really use the word "Christmas" already? Oh dear. That reminds me that I swore I was going to make quilted place mats for everyone on my list this year. Sounded like a great idea in January.

 

Finished a beanie hat today waiting for a dr appt. Need to tuck in the ends and I'll post a picture.

[busy-bee-lmt]

The body of Uglee doll #2 is done, it just needs arms and legs now.

[cshort]

I've finished one hat. I hope to do a little stitching this weekend.

[tonyal]

I pulled a bunch of baby yarn from my stash and I have started a RR. I hope to get at least 2 done thins weekend

[tonyal]

I have one rr finished, and another 2/3 done. I should have it plus possibly one more done by the 23rd

[CrocheterAmanda]

I'm planning on starting another baby blanket for the NICU. Hubby just bought me some beautiful purple baby coordinates, and some baby jacquard. Trying to figure out how I want to work it up.

[FrLopLady]

hat for the mission. Always wanted to try cables and found out not only are they not very hard, they are a bit of fun too!

[cshort]

The hat is very nice. I think I'm hat number 6 but mine aren't as fancy as yours.

[CrocheterAmanda]

Finished the purple baby blanket today. I'm going to experiment with the Baby Jacquards tomorrow. Never used it before, but I hope the self patterning comes out alright.
