Bedspread Bonanza

[KnicKnac]

No picture this week as sad to say I didn't work on my bedspread whatsoever.

 

But WANDA! How gorgeous that is!!!!

Wanda

That is gonna be a work of art when done. VERY pretty . I'd like to see you enter that in your local fair -- I bet it'd be a blue ribbon winner .

[Kelle]

Wow Wanda - that is gorgeous!

 

....I have 14 (out of 27) loops / chains connected. I'll post pictures when I get home tonight...

 

Can't wait to see more pics!

I've worked hard on my BS this week, partially to make up for doing very little last week. Mostly because I'm now at the halfway point and I wanted so see the look of it somewhere but as a mental image. Kim and Trouble are in the background. They are my cheerleaders here at home. Trouble loves to curl up on it while I'm crocheting, which is interesting when I want to flip it over to work on the other side.:dog Sarge likes to curl up on it when I'm working on it downstairs, which is interesting, too. He sheds all over it.

Linda,

 

Those colours work very well together! And you're more than half-way done - great job

No pictures, but I added 2 and 2/3rds squares to my pile...waiting till I have most - if not all - done, so I know what arrangement I'll be putting the colors in.

Well this is how far I am so far.

It is slow going, but it was nice to see it on my bed. I need to add a couple more squares on the side so that it hangs over. Everyones looks so great so far. I can't wait to see more pics. I can't believe how far along everyone is. I think I will be the last one working on this CAL.

Jewel, very, very nice work! Next time I'll use all the same color like you did - I just had so much stash, I couldn't bring myself to buy more - yet:devil

I love my wheel lattice pattern, though. It looks classy! I just might use it again in something else down the road.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Very nice work, Jewel. It's going to be very impressive.

Thanks Linda and Judi, I love the color and since my birthday is coming up next week, I told my MIL if she wanted she could buy me more of that yarn. We will see. I had asked for gift cards to Joann's, but she thinks that money and gift cards are to impersonal. It is just hard, because we live so far away now and we can't just go shopping together.

Here is my Trip around the world so far. I've gotten the yellow, red and dark blue on it in the last week.

 

I think I'm going to make this for my guest bed now since it's smaller my bed is a queen and the quest bed is a full, that's if I don't change my mind soon and make it a throw:heehee I'm going to put the 2nd row of the next 6 colors yet and see what the size is to make up my mind.

[Kelle]

Here are my first pics (all clicky)

This is the chain I started this week: have 14 out of 27 done.

This is a close-up of one of the previously completed strips

...and this is a view of 5 of them side-by-side (on my table)

I'm beginning to wonder if I won't need more than 10 or 11... these 5 only measure ~32" so 10 strips would only be about 5'6" across (plus border)... I measured the length, and I have no idea what I was thinking 12 years ago, but they are almost 7'6" long!

That is really neat Kelle I've never seen that pattern.

Everybodies looks so pretty.

Thanks for the compliments, I wanted to use some major colors since all I've been doing lately is whites and pinks I needed something with punch lol.

[Aussie]

Kellie that looks great. well done

[JulieKay]

Hi Folks, sorry I got behind on posts yesterday !

 

Linda -love how your BS is coming along-- what is the bluish-green, is it teal ? It sets off the other colors so nicely!

 

Jewel - Just beautiful-- what a showpiece. That is gonna be a pass-me-down to someone special in many years to come . I bet I know who will get it !

 

Heather- beautiful colors-- it is very pretty and cheery .

 

Kelle-Love seeing your pattern. I have seen it in a booklet ,but never actually made by anyone else. It is certainly pretty !

[judianne]

Absolutely beautiful, Kelle!

[Ladykats]

Kelle~I did the spread about three/ four years ago for my newphew and his wife. Well, something close to it. It was called a wedding ring afghan back then If I am not mistaken. Later found out that they are not into homemade items. Yours looks beautiful. I love the color combination.

Morning, everybody. I just crawled out of bed. I need a mug of tea to help me wake up. Today is going to be another day of cleaning and organizing in preparation for guests next week. I was very stiff and sore when I went to bed last night, but not too bad this morning. I am going to do some crocheting tomorrow during the Super Bowl game. By then it may be all I'm capable of doing.

Kelle - That is stunning! :cheer I've never seen that pattern before, but it is GREAT! Given the length of the strips, you will probably need more than 10 or 11 to make it look right. It's going to be huge, but great to wrap yourself up in on cold days and/or nights.
