I am glad to see this CAL go up! I can't start mine yet, but I am most definitely in. I am thinking of using a variegated yarn to choose my colors, but I am not sure which yet, as I have yet to go buy my first skein. I might just dig around in my stash and see what I can dig up. I'll post more when I know more. I am really excited about this one! :yay

Thanks for starting this CAL up, JulieKay. :clap

Hi Crafty -

( Can I ask what your first name is ? ) I always like calling people by their name, so it seems like I get to know you all better. You live in my favorite state, you lucky thing ! What part of the state are you in ?

Great to have you join !!! Can't wait to start working on this either. I have a truckload of yarn , it's just sorting through it to decide on colors .

I am looking forward to making

this afghan.

I just have to find the leaflet.

No luck at Michaels, Joanns or

Hancocks today.

Guess I may have to find it online.

Still thinking of colors.

I have chosen my colors. I kinda wanted to go along with the rustic type look that they used in the photo, so I am using - gold, carrot , dk sage, ranch red and cafe . It kinda looks like fall colors .

What beautiful colors for this ghan. I'm in this one too. Starting 3 ghans at once is kind of silly, but I just can't help myself...lol. I also like the rustic colors, I have so much yarn, that I'm not going to buy any new yarn for these ghans. I can't decide which one to start with.

Shaylen · January 1, 2006

That is really pretty olga,how big did it turn out for you and what size hook are you using??

Marnie-so glad you are joining us.

Well, if you're silly for starting three, then I'm even sillier . I'm on 4 -- how I'll pull this off, who knows ,because I'm not usually good at juggling several things at once. I guess that can be my 2006 Resolution . To finish what I start .

Shaylen,

I love it ! That is really pretty ! No, it's not too bright, I like it a lot ! This is sure gonna be a pretty afghan isn't it ?

JulieKay · January 1, 2006

HAPPY NEW YEAR , Let's have a beer !

No, ,we can't do that here ......

What was I trying to think

Besides , I don't even drink ! :ccompute

Get out those patterns, yarn and hooks

What, you don't have the book ? :eek

Email me and I'll try to help you

If you don't have the pattern, what are you going to do ? :think

We are all working together to make a beautiful thing

Just think what joy that is going to bring :jumpyay

Whether it's for your friend, relative or just for you

It'll be worth all the work you have to do . :whew

So let's get started, friends, today is the day

Get those hooks flying and make some headway ! :knit

Happy New Year's Everyone.

I'm trying to decide what yarn to use for this project. I'm debating on whether to use up scrap yarn or to the yarn I have in the stash for a granny square afghan that I have slowly been doing.

Madelyn

JulieKay · January 1, 2006

Happy New Year to you ,too Madelyn . :yay

We'll be waiting to hear what colors you decide on !

gavinsmom · January 1, 2006

I'm here also. I have the pattern I just need to decide on the colors. I have a ripple i started for my couch that I think I may frog. I want to make this for my couch instead The ripple was navy, navy varigated and off white. I think I have some pinks and greens to throw in too. I really need to cut down my stash, its getting a little unruley I need to finish a mile a minute afghan for my sil before I start but I hope it wont be too long.

knotme · January 1, 2006

I am so in! :hook I have had this pattern forever and always admired it but for whatever reason never started. Guess I will dive into the yarn stash... :think

Love the poem BTW!

Patty in MI · January 1, 2006

Shaylen, what a beautiful start you have on this. Makes me want to get going on this one first...Thanks for sharing.
