Christmas CAL... anyone interested???

[ChayaSar]

Hey ladies, can I jump in here? I have ghans going that could fit into any number of the CAL's going right now, but they are all for Christmas gifts, and I'd like to be able to keep track of them all in one place. I'm wanting to complete 4 ghans for christmas and countless thread snowflakes, and a few other odds and ends. So if this is still going, I want in!!!!!

Hi Ada! I'm still here, just slow progress as other projects keep getting in the way.. I think we will be around right up until Christmas day..... especially since I'm a known procrastinator:lol

[dilyca2006]

Hay. I need to go through and see how much folks have gotten done!! I have been gone for such a long time.

I have finally gotten one thing done for Christmas. After I joined this CAL I had many things to do for now.

I have made a Snow White graph throw for my son's girlfriends little girl. One day maybe I will be her grandma and I need to start bribing her to like me!!!!LOL

I have also started an afghan for one of my other son's, and have sort of made a list in my head for who I need to get something going for.

See ya all later.

I promise to not me MIA so much.

[stargazingirly]

Id love to see a picture of your snow white graph-ghan! Can't wait to see more pictures of peoples work. I finally have the things I needed to get done for my sisters baby shower done, so back to christmas presents for me!

[dilyca2006]

I am getting them uploaded from the camera and going to put them on photobucket. then I will get a pic posted

[dilyca2006]

OK.. Hope I do this right. I have downsized my pix so hopefully they will not be to large. I have not done this in a while!!!LOL

 

[stargazingirly]

Wow!! that came out so great! :clap

[dilyca2006]

Thanks Jessica.

You know. I have not had time yet to look back through all the posts to see what everyone else has gotten done, but, what I have seen looks fantastic. There are some very talanted folks here doing some beautiful work.

[ChayaSar]

Hey Diane, I'm sure this "will one day be your granddaughter" will love the snowwhite ghan, and if it doesn't endear you to her forver---- I'll be your granddaughter.

 

I think it looks great!

[dilyca2006]

Well. Thank you Ada!!!

Ummm.. Is that you in the picture in your aviator??? If so, I am just old enough to be your grandma!!!!!!!!!LOL

I kept an eye on this thread since it first was created. Unforunately, I have few birthday gifts, a baby shower, a baby gift and a wedding gift to finish up.

 

Then I will do for xmas: small hearts or a lace heart scarf for mom's best friend (Practically one of my aunts), mom ( a cardigan that needs to blocked, if failed, another scarf or wrap and a bookmark), and dad (hiker's vest, bookmark and wine coasters)

 

and also mom's birthday so close to new year (hat and mittens to match the scarf)

[ddkitten]

Like everyone on here I have a list of things I want to make . Currently I have :-

 

4 or 5 face washes

4 bath puffs

1 cradle purse

maybe a few FBB (depending on how quick the first one makes up)

1 Ami (or 2)

 

I think that is all. So far I have made 2 of the face washers and started a 3rd. Have patterns for the rest but need to fit in getting them done. Not much compared to others

[CraftyJen]

Yep, will post pictures as soon as I finish weaving in the ends on the last blanket. I haven't taken pics of any of them yet.

 

I've almost finished the teal and white starghan and just ordered 10 balls of some brushed chunky yarn in blue to start another starghan. lol I really love this pattern!!!

[LittleJadeFrog]

I have a purse done...I will post pics when I get the matching coin purse for it done!

[stargazingirly]

Yay! pictures, my favorite part!

 

I am making slow progress, I finished a sweater for my future niece for Christmas, and I got a scarf done this week. slow and steady right? Started a new job... yesterday technically.... so a lot of training going on, should get easier in a week or two.

Hi all

 

I just started making my gifts for christmas so I think it would help keep me going if I join this CAL.

 

I need all the motivation I can get.

 

I haven't listed out all the gifts I'm making but so far:

 

Sunbonnet Sue/Butterfly block afghan for Mom - WIP

potholder/kitchen sets for friends

SIL ?

MIL ?

Sister?

9 and 11 yo nieces?

 

Oh and do any of you have any good ideas for the men in your lives? I have a 23 yo brother, my dad, and my FIL that I have no ideas for. I will most likely end up buying them gifts but if anyone had good gift ideas for guys I'd love to hear it!
