Blue Star Afghan CAL

[Lady_of_Roses]

Thanks Krystal!

 

Yea, the joining wedges to the star round was totally off in the book, but I like how my fudged row turned out at least. Just took more time having to figure it out myself. I did what you suggested for figuring out the number of edging scs. I made a half granny, and then attempted a "join" round of half-granny to star to determine how many scs I was to have. I think the book wrote it right (or very close if it wasn't), but it was a bit unclear and easy to misinterpret. Thank you!!

Lady Im glad you got it worked out. Some instructions in the book are a bit confusing.

Wendy, The book is called Tender Touch Layettes by Leisure Arts

You can find it at this site:

I showed your layette to a lady here at work, she loves it and she wants to know is the suit all in one can you undo at the bottom to change nappies(diapers) or do you have to take the whole suit off.

thanks for the info on the book

[Ladykats]

The pattern is set up to remove it to change diapers, but with a little thinking, the legs could be altered to put snaps in for diaper changes.

Morning everyone,

 

Tracey thanks for the pattern info.

 

I have 5 blocks done of number 1 and have edged 4 of them. Just have to do the remaining 3 then onto granny block 2. Im doing all the blocks first this time.

 

Will anyone have any photos for photo friday.

Hi Judi, thats great, you we love photos of any crochet project. Your doing great work with those charity ghans.

[Lady_of_Roses]

I should be able to do photos this friday.

 

All I have left to do is 3 half-blocks, 4 Granny 1 Blocks, the 4 corner borders, and the edging that goes around the entire blanket. I think I'll be done within a couple of weeks!!

[Krystal16]

I can post pics, but they'd be the same ones I posted 2 weeks ago! LOL!

[dilyca2006]

OH.. I now have 2 corner squares done and have started the 3rd!!! I think that I am going to edge it different then the pattern says. We shall see. Need to take a pic so that I can post it though.

[Ladykats]

Wow that is really great Diane

[judianne]

Lady, you are a fast worker!! Or maybe you're only working on one project at a time?

I wonder what that feels like:P ??

 

We're all looking forward to seeing pictures!!

[Lady_of_Roses]

Judi,

 

Not sure if you mean me (heehee!) I'm not fast, I just haven't been working on additional projects at the moment. I've been focusing on the blue star. Plus I've been having really bad sleep problems for a couple of weeks or so and have been up most of the indecent hours of the night/morning, so I have to occupy my time quietly. It's been reading books and crocheting on the Blue Star for me!

 

I had the 16 9-patches completed last Friday, spent Saturday - Monday making the wedge units and attaching them. I just finished the edging after that yesterday morning.

Sometimes I lay awake - or wake up from DH's snoring:( - and want to go downstairs to read or crochet, but that involves stepping over (and waking) the 2 German shepherds who share our room:P:manyheart ...there's no way to quietly make my escape...or avoid "company"!

At least you're being productive!

Hope you make it through this rough time - lack of sleep...well, this forum won't print what I might have to say:lol . Take care!

[dilyca2006]

Thanks Tracey.

Who works on only one project at a time????LOL

[Krystal16]

Not Me!

[Lady_of_Roses]

I don't usually either. I've just been focussing on the Blue Star recently so it'll get done and I can work on my other WIPs!

[dilyca2006]

I have 3 on my hooks and 2 more that I started and set aside for a while downstars. My DH asked me to only work on one at a time. But, I can't. I know that there are some who work on one thing till they get it done, but I just can't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

[Aussie]

:lol hehehe

 

before I joined the ville I only had one project on the go. Then I came here and well I had to buy more hooks for all my new projects. My crochet desk has squares and yarn all over the place. I have never had so much yarn in the house. New Cals come along and I want to join them so my project list is becoming bigger.

 

Looking forward to photo friday to see what everyone is doing. I will post a pic of my blocks that I have done so far.

[Aussie]

bump......

[Ladykats]

Wendy,

I am with you. I would do one project at a time, and have pretty much gone back to doing it that way. I don't have the time to specnd myself out with too many projects. Although I do have a list of projects and future projects I am going to do. This baby blanket is taking forever. So I hope it is nice when I finish it. I changed thing a bit and am using the shells for the end edges only. I am so wanting to get this finished.

[Aussie]

Morning Tracey, it gets a bit that way doesnt it when you have doing a project for awhile, you just want it done.
