2011 Christmas Gift CAL

[Bailey4]

Great teacher's gifts.

 

I am almost finished with my husband's tobaggining snowmen that he can keep in his office all winter. I had no idea how fascinated his office mates were with his Ami's until the Christmas party this year.:lol

 

The kitty afghan keeps plodding on, but it is not looking good for a Christmas Eve finish.

That's cool that your ami's are so popular

3 scarfs and 2 hats done of the zillion I have to do! But, it beats having nothing accomplished, I'll say that much.

 

Going to weave in ends and sew squares together today. Have just two days until I give my friend her comfortghan and the squares are just laid out on the table! Time to get to hookin!

 

Everyone's gifts look sooo awesome!

I don't believe it myself, but... The "Ughie" is done!! It's a snuggie, really. But I call it the Ughie. My 9 year old has wanted me to crochet him one; ever since I told him there was a crochet pattern for a Snuggie. I made the adult size, so it will fit him until it wears out, probably...

[bigfunfam]

That is so cool Tina! He is going to love it!

 

I have a snuggie that I started last year with my scraps. It isn't finished. It is in a bag hanging on a hook in my room waiting until I decide to finish it.

[Mom w/a Motif]

That's how mine was, sitting in a bag in my room... I don't know why I didn't want to work on it. I just did hdc's for the whole thing. Usually I like mindless work like that. It just seemed to take forever.

 

I wrapped it up and put it under the tree. He said to me last night, "Is that big present for me?"

 

I think a snuggie made w/ scraps would be cool. It would be economical, too.

I finished 3 pairs of fingerless mitts, only one pair left. I'm halfway through the doily and halfway finished with the afghan. Today I will work on the afghan after the children and I make and decorate cookie trees. Mmmm, I can't wait to get baking!

Yummy!

Today I finished up the "holy cow they aren't getting divorced and now I have to send something" gifts. LOL I'm sooo ready to mail this box!! Update with pictures directly. Just glad to have those "surprise" gifts done.

[Bailey4]

All the family gifts are wrapped, just need to do hubby's and finish the one last afghan!!:lol

[bigfunfam]

Great job everyone!

 

I am putting the border on the afghan tonight. Then just weaving in ends. I still need to finish the doily and a pair of fingerless mitts. I'm super close to having the play kitchen top finished. I just need to crochet the sink, finish the faucet and sew it all together. I really think that I should just not sleep until Christmas. Then I can say that I want my present to be an entire day in bed, lol.

This is a photo of a snake in progress. I am making it for my father for Christmas. What do you think? I didn't realize how much yarn was needed for the pattern! (the pattern I am using doesn't state how much yarn) I used up almost the whole 5 oz since this pic was taken yesterday.

Great afghan!! Doesn't that feel good to finish the big projects? I haven't done a round ripple in a while. They're fun. (I think the cat thinks it's for him/her... lol!)

Beautiful. That has to feel good to have it finished.

[tiffer93]

Dee your blanket is amazing! I it soooo much!

[bigfunfam]

Thank you! It feels wonderful to have it finished

 

This morning I finished the play kitchen that I was making. It's a sink/stove thing-a-ma-jig. I posted pics in the show and tell forum. I have 5 rows left on the doily for my mother and I have the last pair of fingerless gloves to make. Also I just had an idea for something quick for dh. We'll see what actually gets finished, lol. I am really looking forward to recreational crochet again instead of rushed crochet
