Holiday Mystery CAL Day 6 post 95

[Ilene]

Okay, so it's not the Christmas Beagle! It's beginning to look like a wreath. Adding in the third color was a bit of a challange for me but then so was thawing out my turkey this year. Mine looks just like Ch2crochet's so I'm doing good.

[darski]

I haven't given up on it being a santa sack but the wreath sounds good to me.

[Aussie]

Yah I did it.

 

This is a first for me doing crochet and swapping colors mid row. After redoing the 7th row 6 times I have finally got it. Not sure how it looks but I think it looks ok for my first time.

 

Here is my pic

I'm a late starter, was a late bloomer also but that's another story, we were away for the holiday. This will give me something to take my my mind off the pain til I get to the doctor this am, devekoped a UTI over the weekend, I need drugs!!! Thanks for doing this, I enjoy a challenge!!! Charlene

[rsisland]

quick question......row 18 only has 50 stitches...after green 26 is it supposed to go....R1,G1,R1?

[tlisley]

AAAARRRGGHHH! The one stitch color changes are making me crazy! I stopped at row 17 because of the "missing stitches" in 18, and I will wait patiently for the graph-guru to return and confirm...lol. MEANWHILE, could someone please explain how this "bobbin" thing works? I'm hoping it will help with the "one stitch" buggers...

Thanks in advance!

[Brandybuck]

Okay it looks like I'm going to have to print out the instructions here at work and take them home with me; my home computer is acting up! I'm thinking it's the power supply, but that's still going to be a pain to replace(it's christmas time, how much extra money can a body have? ) So hopefully I can catch up soon.

[sewnsew]

I stopped halfway through row 18 awaiting instructions too. I am having a hard time with the one stitches too. My problem is because that area of the row seems messy to me. We'll see when it's all done. I'm not sure I fully understand the bobbin thing either so I'm not going to explain it. LOL This is the first time I've done a project that requires changing colors throughout so as long as it resembles what it's supposed to I'll be happy. lol

[ch2crochet]

I had the same problem. I did the last 10 white and still have 2 sts left. I've double counted and everything is correct. So I wasn't sure if there should be more red sts or more white sts. I'll wait till I hear from Lea before I continue.

I agree tlisley, this one st change can make you crazy!

Aussie, good job! Looks like your doing it right.

[lhasaapsolady]

Well Ilene had to get me in on this, and I've got all 20 rows done. Yes there is a mistake in row 18, short 2 stitches so i did 3 reds instead of one. If that isn't right I frog it and put the correction in when she gives it to us. Glad to be joining you all.

[darski]

Thank you Lea - you are a dear sweetheart.

I am really enjoying this mystery CAL. Too much fun.

[strebekah]

Ack!! My internet has been down for 6 days so I am just now getting here. Looks like I have some catching up to do! LOL

[Ilene]

I just finished up my rows, did like Llaahsa suggested and put 3 reds at the end of row 18 instead of 1. Starting to look more like a bag of goodies now. I'll post a picture later.

[minwifeof4boys]

Blasted dial up... I did manage to post the correction... It IS 3 reds at the end so good job...

 

...I'm hit and miss today with the phones acting up....

[goofy]

O.K. you people are all evil. I'm off to raid my stash and start this thing. I really don't have the time but maybe I can use it for a christmas present when I am done.

[minwifeof4boys]

Goofy, we're bad about dragging folks in..........anyhow... you should be able to use it as a gift....if you want to give it up:D

My area there looks very messy, too. I think I'm going to frog it, and try to "catch" the yarn that looks like it's going sort of sideways across the other stitches (when you pull it up from the previous row) and crochet over it, in the stitch I'm pulling it up in. If that makes an ounce of sense, lol!

 

Or, figure something out where it just looks messy on the wrong side. Right now, it's messy on both sides.

 

Can't mess around with it too much, though - on top of all the squares I'm doing, I've decided to try to make a BICO for my 4 year old.

 

Clearly, I'm insane.

[darski]

Insanity is hereditary - you get it from your children!

love that line and hardly ever get to use it.

[sewnsew]

Here's some pics of mine so far. I have thought about frogging but I'm not sure if I should. I kind of think it may come out the same. I've been trying to catch the yarn and crochet over it so it looks better. Most of the mess is the one stitch area. LOL. If it looks too bad I'll frog

[minwifeof4boys]

Donna, I think that looks great! I think you'll be pleased with the end result....

[sewnsew]

Okay good cause I really didn't want to frog it. LOL. It was alot of work to get it there. I can't wait to see it all done. I will be here bright and early in the morning to see what's next.

[darski]

Ok, I'm changing my vote to a Christmas tree - looking at those pics...I'm def seeing a tree.

[ch2crochet]

Here's mine so far:

(clickable)

 

I think its going well so far!

[minwifeof4boys]

Just a heads up... I completed the final product minus some of the color changes I had originally done because I am going in a toatlly differnt direction with this... so... if you happen to be out and about pick up cool buttons, charms, weird beads etc.... so after the beagle viking ship is done we can decorate it... I used ribbons , a few buttons, and some bead sort of charm things that were like 2.00 a pack at Walmart... the effect is so totally cool you would not believe!!

 

....now... back to your regularly scheduled posts... I just had to share!
