Van Gogh's Closet

[Misa]

Welcome Becky

Let me just give you fair warning - these CAL's are addicting . Once you sign up for one, in the blink of an eye, you are in about 7 more. I don't know how it happens, but it does, ask anybody .

You may as well mosey on over and sign up for the Sky one. You'll end up there sooner or later .

 

They're not addicting

 

I can quit anytime I want

 

Really I can

 

You'll see, right after this ghan

 

Yes, right after I finish this ghan I'll give up CALs

What she said... huyep! :cowboy

 

I did finish the bunting bag that I posted earlier but the pic is posted as part of the Sky CAL. It should be useful for somebody someplace.

[JulieKay]

Now Cara and Darski

I know you are both 2 fine, upstanding kindhearted ladies . You wouldn't be telling just a tiny little fib that you are not addicted to these CAL's would you ???? HUH ????

[Misa]

Who us?

 

Well, okay....maybe just a little

[darski]

Moi??? not be as pure as the driven Well maybe some of the snow got a bit yellow there.

 

I haven't started hardly anything new since I promised not to

 

[KnicKnac]

They are not telling tiny little fibs...they are out and out telling big FAT fibs!!!

[Misa]

SHHHHH!!!!! You weren't supposed to tell!

[hseger]

Wow!! I love those Amanda and Christi. Great job.

 

Well here is my rr I'm kind of stuck with where I want to go next with it since I'm trying to just use up extra yarn and sometimes I don't have enough to do all the rows I want to do of a color. This will probably end up being a cat bed

 

And here is my Green ghan. I still have to weave in the ends.

 

 

Next month I'm going to try a baby blanket. It's not cheating on the sky CAL since it's baby stuff for next months charity blitz and charity blitz is my Thursday WIP

 

 

 

Welcome Becky we sure have a lot of fun here.

 

Amanda - How much yarn does that pattern take?

[darski]

Heather, I have said it before but I just absolutely :manyheartloooooooooove :manyhearthow that green ghan looks. It does what the "luminosity" quilts used to do.

[JulieKay]

Heather

I have lost track of who all I answered when , but if I havent mentioned it yet, that green afghan is just BEEYOOTEEEFULLL ..

 

 

 

and Knic-thanks for the inside info. I thought they were up to no good .

[amalin06]

Amanda This is Beautiful. Is that the Box stitch? I am working on a diagonal box stitch afghan but want to make a straight one too (later). I love the way your colors seem to blend so perfectly, one into the other. Now I am really!! anxious to start my Van Gogh project to see if my chosen colors will work.

 

I don't know if it the box stitch or not i got it off of this link

[q8_crochet]

ladeis thats awsom

[hseger]

Thanks everyone, I've got a picture in my head that I just can't get to come clear for my next one. (for when I finish my sky CAL Julie. No bat :lurk please.)

[Craftymomma]

Heather-I love your rr in progress, it would be lovely for a little girl if you can find enough yarn to continue. The green is also amazing!

[busy-bee-lmt]

Here's my picture of my RR doing the reverse color scheme:

 

[Misa]

Linda - Absolutely gorgeous! Great job

[JesseCat]

I just got back from Michael's and did something I never did before...I want to make the Van Gogh Ripple for my nephew's graduation in 3 weeks and I am broke today so I collected a assorted bag of yarn from my stash that still has labels on it and exchanged it at Michael's for 8 skeins of Caron Simply Soft and only had to pay a difference of 2.50 for it. Quite satisfying and solved my problem...

I did not get the same colors as Amanda's blue ghan, I added a purple and a bright blue to the mix of dark country blue and light country blue and also a ball of varigated blue ribbon yarn....

[busy-bee-lmt]

Joanne, that sounds like it will be lovely. What a crative idea for getting your yarn. I like it!

[RoseRed]

Beautiful work ladies!

[hseger]

Thanks Crafty, I was going to make it for a baby or a project Linus or something but will have to see how it comes out with the color and yarn choices at hand.

 

Linda that looks real nice your really whipping it out.

 

Joanne - very good idea.

[Swerbie]

I think I'm in love with this blended color thing!!! It looks so great! Here's my baby ripple that I'm working on for a neighbor. After I finish the blue, Im going to add in yellow, then repeat the whole color pattern a few more times.

 

[Misa]

Becky - Lookin' good so far

[melissacrochets]

I just found this thread. I think I'd like to do this. I teach a crochet club and left quite a bit of yarn at school. However, I am not lacking a stash. It will not be easy with the summer coming on but with the big hook, it should take very long.

 

Now for the pattern....

[tigermom]

Everybodies work is so beautiful. I'm not good with picking colors and I'm afarid I would make a mess of it. Someday I'd like to try this. Thanks everyone for sharing your creations and ideas.
