March Charity CAL - 3/15 thru 3/20

[babypoohsmom]

Well I am absolutely cheating this month. I have no idea when I finished what I am sharing, but they finally got washed over the weekend. I was just going to post these to the Boxing Day CAL and saw that I missed this one completely this month. (Today was the first day in about a month that I left work while it was still day light!)

So I'll share with both CAL's. Does anyone mind?

Here is another two:

And finally, one that my mom made. She loves to makes scrappy quilts but doesn't want to make cat mats that are not color coordinated!

Darski, I *love* your patten in both colors. Wow, those are pretty.

And Darlene, I have not tried a star blanket yet, but yours look like a hexagon (?), did you make that up or is the a pattern to follow. It looks a bit simpler than a star, is it?

So I made:

5 Cat Mats

Well I got finished what I planned to finish if not what I hoped to finish. (half a lapghan )

 

My totals:

 

1.5 lapghans

 

1 Dora outfit

 

10 child hats

Love it Darski! What pattern are you using for the square? It is very pretty in both color combos

 

Dora is adorable. I wish she was more readily available still

The pattern is available in Free original patterns:

Believe it or not I still have a lot of members who have their Dora's and love the new patterns. In my mind, the "Dress Up Adventure Dora" was the best of the lot.

 

Interestingly enough, CPK has a new line of dolls who can wear my Dora patterns...

Denise, yes they are a hexagon and makeup quite quickly. I have the pattern memorized but will try to look up the source (think it was from someone here) and post it for you. I love to put stripes of color in these and it is a great way to use of small amounts of yarn. Our local NICU loves these.

ok you will have to explain CPK? Cute doll though!

 

Ok hats I did. I am having to struggle on an afghan so I didn't get much done. Actually didn't get much done on anything!

CPK = Cabbage Patch Kid

[FrLopLady]

oh doh..and it even looks like one. Might have to go see what I can find for dgd so I have an excuse to use your patterns!

I finished 1 preemie afghan

[Skysmom]

Congratulations, everyone! I love seeing all the pictures and reading about your accomplishments! Due to family issues, I haven't finished anything this time. But, I am about 1/3 through a baby ghan and 1/2 through another scarf!

 

Darski, I still have DD's (she's 37) Cabbage Patch dolls with their certificates.

I was only able to finish two child's caps for this charity blitz. The basic pattern I used was for a cap published in the October 2011 Crochet World. I tweaked it to suit me. I have started a third one tweaking it my way also. This one is for an adult though.

It sure looks like our hooks/instrument of choice were flying this month. Great job everyone. Looking forward to next month.
