To Encourage Everyone in Making Gifts for 2017!

[Tampa Doll]

Hi everyone.  I sort of lost a week and have been trying to catch up.

Here is the new tote.  I did not have a lot of time to make extras, but I found some small things I could make.

Hope everyone is ok and having fun.  My list for this year, has gone out the window.

Have a good night.

So cute!!!   And I know about lists going out the window - every time I think I'm clear to go back to mindless crochet and use up stash I get requests from friends! I can't say no

[Tampa Doll]

Good Morning.  I am up extra early and I hope to get a start on some things I need to make to get out in the mail.

The heat and humidity is still lingering, so yarn is out of the question, so I will make some things with crochet thread.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi peeps!

Mary Jo - I'm loving working with thread again - which is good, because I have a couple more doilies lined up...lol!

I have been working on the GSD graph ghan - I'm on row 43/150!

Super nice Fall weather the past two days

[judianne]

I frogged half of the GSD face I made - I needed to lighten it up some more. Back on track, but with the AC going full blast since for the past several days the 3 H's have revisited NJ, despite it being October on the calendar.

 

Anyone else?

Working on a lovey for a coworker whose son was born on Oct 9.

Almost done. I plan to finish it tonight after work.

[Tampa Doll]

Good Morning.

I took up my knitting needles and finished my Pilgrims and turkey.  They were fun to make.  I hope to start some angels this week.

I have everything, but the turkey in a crochet pattern also.

That's a sweet gift...my son had a blanket as a baby that I finally had to hide when he was 6! ....It was disintegrating...lol!

So cute!! I haven't progressed much at all in knitting - facecloths are it so far. I need to review the basics again. It takes me a long time to get going and crocheting is so much faster, especially since I've become so popular and the list of requests has grown so much!

My coworker namer her son Killian after the Captain Hook character on Once Upon A Time. So, naturally I made him a Crocodile.

[ratdog]

I love you pilgrims. They are so swèet

[Tampa Doll]

Love the gator woobie.  That is just adorable.

I am now into Angels, I am waiting for some (sorry) yarn to make a special gift for my BIL.  It is a deer head, that looks like it is mounted.  He is a hunter. 

I bought a kit, but it comes with Wool yarn and I can not work with that, so I had to order other yarn.

Cute lovey!

[judianne]

rat dog, that lovey is amazing!! You did a great job on it. I can see him holding on to that for many years!

[Apak]

Mary Jo, your pilgrims and a turkey rules!

ratdog, the crocodile lovey is a great gift!

About the gifts - I made a gift for myself  It's an owl cell phone case (you can see it in "Cases And Cozies" Thread).

I also ordered wooden wings for my wooden figures of angels. I crochet their outfits and I could also crochet some wings and then starched them, but as the kids are going to play with them, I don't thing such wings would last for long... So I found the wooden ones and will glue them. Pics soon 

I also bought first Christmas crochet magazine this year and I can't wait to try some new ideas. 

[judianne]

Anna, looking forward to pics!!

And I bought a Christmas crochet magazine last year - it gave me a lot of ideas for gifts! Have fun!

Completed one of the GSD lapghans!

[judianne]

New project is a baby ghan. The colors are Real Teal and Soft white and I'm doing a Join as You Go.

[ratdog]

Beautiful work! 

[Tampa Doll]

Love the afghan.  The dog is just perfect.  The colors on the baby afghan are very pretty, but I am partial to blue.

[greyhoundgrandma]

The german shepherd afghan is great!

[ratdog]

Made a shark ice cream pint cozy. 

I am pairing it with an engraved spoon that says "my ice cream".

[judianne]

Thanks ladies!!

 

Rat dog, I love your ice-cream cozy!

[Tampa Doll]

I love it.  The addition of the spoon is just perfect.

[judianne]

Hi again - I'm finally getting around to washing the GSD ghan. And last night I wove in all the tails I had on the baby baby ghan. Ready to make more today!

Happy hooking!

Good Morning everyone.  Finally cool weather.  Almost time for long pants.

I put everything aside and made a cozy for our new cell phone.  Yeah, we finally got one.  The hurricane taught us that we do need one.

This was fun to make and I never did this before.  Instead of crocheting like you normally do, you crochet in between the legs of each stitch.  It made a fascinating design, besides the design in the cozy.
