Elizabeth... that is gorgeous! Way to go!

Hi everyone... I'm almost back... been really derailed but I'm dying to get my hands back into the alpaca basket...

Take care,

Mare

PS Madelyn, you are an animal! #3? Wow!

I'm still here but I am reallyyyy ssslllloooowwww on it. Things get in the way and I wander off to something else and come back and get another row in there but i'm not quiting.It just seems the closer I get to the end the longer the next row takes ....i'm on row 66 I think and it feels like i've been on that same row for the past month:sigh lol....i'll make it sooner or later cause i'm also making hexes...yeah ....i'm still working on that too. :hook and they are both really big afghans and take a lot of work and PATIENCE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARE

:bday

BE VERY GLAD YOU CAN'T HEAR ME SING ......

People would actually poke their own EARDRUMS out so they could stop the noise when they hear me sing !!!!

Have a great day ~~~~ :manyheart

JulieKay · March 3, 2006

Hey Olga

Hurry up and get these afghans done. I'm waiting for you over at the 63 number 2 ~~~~~

We are watching for your final photo- Elizabeth !

I think I'm glad I had decided to stop when it got to 50x50 - I was somewhere around round 70, and yep, each row would take ages. Of course, at that point, you're doing about 7000 stitches each row...

irikel · March 3, 2006

JULIEKAY..... :eek :eek :eek ...I know you got to be kidding me! :hook

threeolivemartini · March 3, 2006

i wanted to stop early too but this thing needs to be the full size .. its going to some one that is 6 foot 3.. so i am glad i did it in larger yarn with a larger hook.. and need it to be the full size.. why cant i have friends that are average height? LOL

JulieKay · March 3, 2006

Nope, not kidding, Olga .

We NEED you over there . We are like a jigsaw puzzle with a missing piece - YOU . :manyheart

irikel · March 3, 2006

awwww Julie how sweet . But really, i'm not sure if I am able to handle another 63 right now...My L/B is kinda starting to frustrate me all over again because its starting to ruffle on one side....and I ASSURE YOU 100%...I'M NOT :frog :frog :frog ING

OOHHH NOOOOO :hook

JulieKay · March 4, 2006

Olga -

We'll be over there for a long time . Plenty of time for you to wrap up your other afghans. Maybe by then you'll be ready to join up .

If you really don't want to, you don't have to , but you sure make good company !

Don't frog your LB now-- just try adjusting the stitches on that one side if it seems to have too many ... make a few decreases if you need to .

threeolivemartini · March 5, 2006

ok

drumrollllll pleaseeeeeeeee!

i am finished !

i have pictured the finished afghan and a detail shot.. both clickable..

that way you can see the colours close up.. and yes i am completely finished.. all ends woven .. all loose stuff woven and snipped.. finished!!

and you are gonna laugh.. just put in my knitpicks order so i can make another for myself in merino wool.. cause i think i could totally be quicker with smooth yarn .. will be a while before i work on it though ..

anyway .. here we go ..

just wanted to say i used a suede , wheat, sea glass, charteuse.. chocolate, mahogany, violet, beige, pesto, and a marled sage/burgandy/gold/tan

Qmare · March 7, 2006

Well, I am happy to report that I have limped up to row 24! That means 1) I have very little time to crochet 2) that I crochet like a turtle and 3) I'm not out of this yet... :lol :lol :lol :lol

So, anyone else still with me? :think

I'll post a pic of the progress as soon as I have enough to show you!

Comeon, ladies! :yay

Comeon, ladies!

I'm still with ya! I have been gone on a vacation and no stitching time at all! Plus, the last 2 months have pretty much been filled with life and finalizing my parent's 60th anniv. party (that was this last Sat).

BUT! Now that it is done, I can concentrate on getting some serious crocheting and xstitching done!! :clap

I THINK I'm on row 50+ or something....

JulieKay · March 7, 2006

Keep going, Nancy and Mare- you can be each other's cheerleaders !

gavinsmom · March 8, 2006

I'm still here too. I Know I've been away for a while. Things have been so crazy with school even though I have less credits this semester I think I chose harder classes :lol I just got to the last page of my lace and bobbles ... not sure what row it is I did a few rounds the other night for the first time in a while
