I finished this last night and it's in the wash as I write this. I should be seeing the recipient tomorrow - will she be surprised! Point to point it's 76 inches!!

I made a shell edging...it's very girly!

Thanks, Joy - come on...work on yours now!:cheer

[DancingStitches]

Wow - Andrea2006 - that's beautiful! I love the color sequence!

[busy-bee-lmt]

:wooWoo Hoo!! RR # 10 is DONE! Just have to hide the tails! And this one is King-sized - 14 inches wider than my usual! You're still ending up with a RR even if you don't finish yours Joy! And it's pretty, if I do say so myself. Pictures tomorrow. It's too dark now.:jumpyay

Kitt thank you for your compliments I really enjoy this more than I thought. It took me a while to get the right color combo I put the first one in the frog pond.

 

Linda wow 10 I have 2 completely finished right now the blended one and the spiderman one, I have the green varigated with forest green just about finished I had to run and get more yarn. I have another one started with varigated purples , lilac and white, and I know for sure I have to make at least one more and have yarn to make 2 more after that if I can get them done.

Judy your ripple is beautiful. I love the edging.:clap

 

I have done some on mine tonight but I dont like the blending. I know my grandma will like it so Im going to continue but the light blue that I have used is looking more like light purple against the blue.

[judianne]

Thanks, Wendy.

Sometimes when you're working on a project that isn't the color you would have chosen it just doesn't "cick" for you. But I'm sure your grandmother will love it!

As I sort and organize my yarn, I'm going to see if I have the materials to start a RR. If not, then, I'll have to buy something to with what I have. I will be calling on you girls for help.

[JulieKay]

Andrea, very pretty ! I like those blues, and the browns sound like an interesting combo . I dont think I've seen a brown one yet .

 

Judy- how much yarn did yours take to make it so big, can you remember ?

 

Val- just shout out if you need help -someone will jump in to help I'm sure ~

We'll love living vicariously through you!! Keep us posted on the colors you're coming up with.

Judy- how much yarn did yours take to make it so big, can you remember ?

I knew someone was going to ask:blush

...all I know is it was at least 8...a little white, and 6 or a bit more was pink, and most of that pink was light pink, the rest was petal pink. I did overbuy, as usual...so I can see me making baby blankets...esp since I have light blue and white in my stash. It'll make a nice gingham look - in big squares! Or a batch of baby RRs...

I still have the small gingham from Cara's site that isn't finished, so I know better.

 

I keep telling myself to write down the details of what I make...but...:blush

[JulieKay]

Thanks Judy- dont feel bad, I do the same, I never keep track of exact amounts used on my stuff either .

 

Have you tried the pattern on CPC in afghans called Nellie's Easy Lapghan ? It makes really nice big simple squares-- turns out pretty .

 

If you decide to do it, just one little tip- you can take it or leave it, but when I finish the rounds, I sl st into the next corner to end each row.

If you don't, it makes a visible line every round of the square .

Finally got the picture transferred to the internet! TaaDaa!

Nice pattern...in my collection now:)

You mean the last row, instead of ending in the top of the ch3, work to the mid point of the corner?

[judianne]

Linda, Ta-Da, is right! That is beautiful!!:clapI love the dark tones...brings out the pattern so nicely.

[andrea2006]

Linda that is beautiful. I wish I could make my stuff look like yours does.

 

Julie thanks for the compliments.

 

Valerie of course you can call on us, if it wasnt for these women I pry wouldnt have made it thru mine lol.

[darski]

That is fabulous Linda!!!

Wonderful

[Aussie]

Linda that is just amazing. I love the blue colors.:clap:clap

[busy-bee-lmt]

Okay. I'm totally drooling. I can hardly wait until both the afghan and Christmas arrive so that I can start cuddling under it!! Hmmm... I don't think that the hubby is going to have much of a chance to use this one.

:rofl Hope you enjoy many a cuddle under it, sweetie.
