Bedspread Bonanza

[lhasaapsolady]

Linda, Jewel, Heather and Kelle, all your spreads are turning out beautiful. I think we'll all actually get done eventually.

Well... My hubby is home now on leave... didn't think I'd have a chance to work on anything.. but here's what I did last night...

 

 

 

 

I'm doing this pattern:

Sure is interesting doing a bedspread pattern in yarn rather than in thread... hehehe. but I love it!

Cookie, that's a pretty pattern!

Linda, Jewel, Heather, Kelle,Tracey and Wanda you all are creating wonderful masterpieces. I hope I did not miss someone.

Tracey both my girls are artistic. My youngest (15) has just completed a mural for a shopping centre. Unfortunately, both show no signs of wanting to crochet.

I have completed 10 more motifs for the BS but have not whip stitched them to the main piece so no photo until Friday. I only managed 4 and a bit while I was with my dad while he underwent tests on Thursday. I did manage to show two ladies how to make popcorns and to educate one male that I was not knitting ...

I also am completing a baby afghan for a colleague and have frogged a UFO. The baby piece is white, baby blue and mint so I should not be suffering colour withdrawal. But, alas, I am! I just need a colour fix.... so I am using the yarn from the ex-UFO to make a quilt. I posted my progress in the quilt thread.

Cookie - That is lovely! You'r off to a great start.

Julie - I don't know what the name of the dark green is. It was some that I picked up years ago and wound the skeins into balls. I liked the color a lot and bought a lot of it, but after winding the skeins I didn't save the label, so don't even know what brand it was any more.

Cookie - love your square ! It looks like another antique pattern . Some of these are gonna be so neat when finished - like an heirloom that Grandma made . I love things like that .

 

Ines- that was funny -- it sounds like you are educating one person at a time about knitting vs crochet .

I know, most people call it KNITTING too when I am crocheting .

Cookie that is going to be a lovely spread. I missed that pattern when I was trying to decide what to make so now I have saved it as I like it. It looks wonderful worked in the colour you have chosen.

Cookie that looks lovely. Your off to a great start.

[Ladykats]

Cookie, what a great spread that one will be. Can't wait to see it done!

[jewel]

Heather I love the colors that you are using. They are so bright and vibrant. I think that would drive me crazy though all those little squares to join.

I have finally finished one row and now have a better idea of how many squares I am going to need. It looks like I need to make 72 and I have nine done and one in progress. Or I guess I can look at it as I have seven more rows to make. That sounds less daunting.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Very Pretty, Cookie. Great job!

[Kelle]

Cookie, that is very pretty! Are you going to follow the pattern or just make it with all squares like that one?

[lhasaapsolady]

[judianne]

During the superbowl...besides eating the best salsa (purchased from our favorite Mexican restaurant) ...I'll be making squares for either my Happy House quilt or motifs for this CAL...I don't have to pay attention to the patterns for either!

[JulieKay]

Howdy there ladies

 

Hope you that are football fans have a fun day watching the game. I like watching football, so we will probably watch it .

 

Athba- your round ripple is turning out very pretty . Keep up the good work

[Cookie Hooker]

Thanks for the encouragement everyone...

 

This bedspread seems a lot like filet (?sp)

 

I really like it, and so does the hubby...

 

Kelle - yeah I'm going to follow the pattern. I might need to buy more yarn, but I really like the way this panel is turning out.

 

Should have it done by next photo friday!
