Encouragement for Getting Gifts Made in 2015

[shuttlebuggy]

I love this! Your replication was amazing! She will love it!

[Tampa Doll]

Here's Violet.

 

I bought this as a kit from Mary Maxim.  They show it in yellow, but you can choose any main color you like.  She is nothing but lace, but she did turn out.

 

We named her Violet after Dh's Mother.

 

Now I am on to the next tote and a Dish cover or Potluck cozy.  This is great I am getting so much done with this thread.

 

I have also joined the washcloth KISS.

 

Watch me turn

Mary Jo, Violet is adorable! Yellow wouldn't have been my choice for her, either....

I'm so glad you found us and that you're feeling inspired!

[shuttlebuggy]

Violet is so pretty!

Msry Jo will your Potluck Cozy be your own creation or a set pattern?

The pattern is in CrochetWorld August 2013.  I wish I could create my own patterns, but I am not that good.  I will mix patterns, but not very good at creating.  Never got that gene.

[shuttlebuggy]

Gotcha! Me either!!! ; )

I actually think I know the one you mean, it is for a 13x9 casserole dish???

It is called the Potluck Cozy on page 24

[shuttlebuggy]

Yes! That is exactly thec one! I have the pattern

[Tribble79]

Beautiful bag!! I am sure it will make her very happy to have... I think I must crochet very slowly I don't seem to get anything accomplished!!! I am still working on Little Tribble's Blanket, pillow and an amigurumi for a swap on another forum... 

[Tampa Doll]

Well my tote went out and is on it's way back.  The PO says it can not be delivered as addressed.  I don't get it.  That is the address she gave for her wish list.  I am now trying to get a hold of her.

 

Today I start the potluck carrier.  This will be fun.  I will be using a tree trunk for the hook an I.

[shuttlebuggy]

Must be a Jimbo hook!

[Tampa Doll]

Must be a Jimbo hook!

Nah anything over a G is like a tree trunk to me. 

[shuttlebuggy]

That's right!!! I forgot you are a big fan of the smaller hook sizes

[greyhoundgrandma]

She's such a lacy cutie, Mary Jo!

[Tampa Doll]

Just thought I would let you know.  Elle got her tote Saturday (PO said it was undeliverable).  She is thrilled, so my day is made.

 

I have started the potluck carrier and it is interesting.  I am now getting anxious to see it done.

 

You guys have sure helped me get my Christmas Crocheting moving along.

[judianne]

Mary Jo, that's great news! What a relief....

 

Happy hooking!

[ratdog]

Pot Luck carrier in Crochet World

 

I am almost done with this pattern and I need more yarn.  I ordered exactly what they told me to order.  I ordered 6 Hot Pink and 4 Over the Rainbow in Sugar N Cream.  I have run out of Over the Rainbow and I still have the top part to make.  So if you decided to make this patter, make sure you order more of the second color then they tell you.

 

It is coming out nice, and looking pretty.

Can you still get the yarn?

I hate when that happens!

[Tampa Doll]

Yeah I can find it in Joann's either on line and in the store.  I wanted to warn anyone who was thinking of making this pattern.  It is turning out nice.

 

The odd thing is I usually order extra, this time I did not.  Oh well, won't do that again.,

[ratdog]

Ffinished and delivered the ID lanyard. The teacher told me to make whatever i wanted so i gave her gold stars on her lanyard.

heading to hobby lobby today to get cotton yarn for the sleep masks

[Tampa Doll]

Just finished this craft basket.  It took one day.  It was so easy, but another pattern using a tree trunk to crochet with, size I.

 

I am thinking of putting my SIL's placemats and potluck carrier rolled up and put in.  Not sure yet.

 

I am moving right along with my Christmas list.

 

  Check me out

[judianne]

Mary Jo, that bag is so pretty! I love the color, too. If you could fit the other items in there that would be perfect!

[Charis]

Agreed, that basket is super pretty! Love it! Good color choice!
