Hi, ladies!

 

I started the marine corp emblem yesterday and added seven rows to the graphghan. Progess!

Great start!!!  Can't wait to see the finished product.

Mary Jo, your graph ghans are so…. breath taking! Amazing!!!!!!

[Apak]

Hi everybody, I hope you're warm and relaxing with your hook or needles...

 

And updating my list...

 

1. Shepherds, kings and sheep for my Nativity

2. Star wars toys for my brother

3. Shawls or wraps for my nieces

4. Ami - cat for my friend's daughter    

5. My daughter's hat

6. Hat for me!    

7. Snowflakes! Lot of snowflakes!

 

I'm done with Miss Kitty for my friend's daughter and  here it is 

 

 

And I made a hat for me - you can even see some owl in front, but I decided not to sew buttons as eyes. And I made a matching cowl. They're warm and in use   First I wanted to make braids on the cowl, but it would take me ages to finish… So I used different stiches as I went  and I didn't get bored..

The cat is adorable.  The hat and scarf look very warm.  Don't laugh, but I could use them down here.  

 

Have not been able to start my list, but I did finish the afghan and a Greek Doll and a baby doll (will post later).  I am now working on the next tote.  I hope to get out my list and check it twice.  Oh NO   I do not want to think about that now.

 

Have fun today

Yep, a very long list. I'm sure more to add. It keeps me hopping and I love a challenge . I'll get what I can done and keep going from there. At least if I see a list I know what to work towards.

I love it! Sometimes that's the only way to keep panic at bay!

[Tampa Doll]

Wow you guys are really ambitious.  I am trying to finish one project at a time, but I don't know what the project is until I look at my yarn.

If anyone can get it done... Sandra can..... I think she even crochets when she is sleeping LOL.....

[owlvamp]

I am almost done with one of the Midnight Brite afghans . They will be king size. Just some more squares to make and collect and then will start the process of getting them together. I'm doing the harder stuff right now so I will just plug along.

 

I do think I crochet in my sleep to . LOL defitinetlydefitentily think of crochet way to much in my sleep and come up with more stuff I want to do Or I need to do it this way or make it better this way. I loose so much sleep when I just can't shut the brain down. It's a real problem. Way to much on my mind and all the stuff going on in my family's life.

[judianne]

[greyhoundgrandma]

I'm at row 70/150 on the graph ghan.

That's great progress. I'm about half way through the ABC blanket, but I've been working on it a couple of weeks.

[owlvamp]

I just found a granny square blanket I was making and it only needed 4 more rows. Why in the world did I never finish it? Well I just did. I was looking for some black yarn to make a hat for someone who want to buy it and came across it. If I dig far enough I'm sure I will find lots more. I will get some pictures of most of what I have finished. Two of the tie fleece blankets are gone now to there new homes.

[Bailey4]

That's awesome!!!!
