thanks guys... I think I'll do about 6 more rows. I hate the thought of blocking it. I HATE blocking.. but with this I won't be able to not do it...

Deb, that's gorgeous!! You can be very proud of that, gal!

[theworm]

I'm in!

I started last night. Using a super simple square pattern. I figured this would be a great stashbuster for all my baby yarn.

It's fun and it's going quickly!

[CDBear]

Somebody stop me!!!!!

Tiger Mom, your star ripple is amazing looking.

I have now finished 5 rows on my ripple for nephew's graduation in 2 1/2 weeks, Hope I can complete it.

I can not believe how fast some of you girls are..

I will post a pic tomorrow if I get more progress...I am now blending navy into purple..

[judianne]

Christi, those are gorgeous! The effect is really addicting!! I have another one I want to make for Project Linus...

 

Deb - try washing the rr and putting it in the dryer - that's the ONLY way I block these things!

[RoseRed]

just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as always!

 

I never block my RR's. just give the points a good tug and it'll lay the stitches out flat.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good morning, everyone. I've got a dilema. Do I work on one of my RRs today or my quiltghan? I can't decide!! Maybe I'll have to work on BOTH! But which one first & for how long? Yech! I can't make up my mind!!! I think I'll get some tea first. Maybe then I can decide.

Christi - Wow!! Those are simply gorgeous!! Great job!!

Welcome, Sandy & Worm!! Glad to have you here!! Worm, I simply can't call you that. Do you have a first name we can use? Please. Pretty please.

Christi, beautiful!

ohhh I love the ripple ghans in bright and the ones in pastels. That baby blanket (I think) in a rectangular shape looks like a pastel rainbow, really beautiful!!

 

OK.. so I started my pet bed, but it turned into a granny square, and I was so excited how the lilac cream purple dk. purple colors looked I think I am going to go back to Joanne fabrics and get enough yarn and finish this afghan. (like I have room for more yarn ) I usually make gifts or at least have someone in mind when I do an afghan or quilt.. but this just evolved into this blanket. (maybe I get to keep one finally!!) I love the double strand thickness. It was an experiment and I just went for color, so grabbed some Caron .. it's easy to work and feels really soft. Guess the dog has to wait for her bed

[tigermom]

This is so AWSOME!!! great job. What colors did you use in it?

Thanks for the tip on just washing it. I hate to block and I'm not very good at it....

[tigermom]

Chrisite, I love those soft colors. It truly looks like a pastel rainbow...

I'm about a month late, but I am SO in!

 

I have this shell that my Grammy made me when I was about.. oh, 10? I'm 23 now. My favorite thing to do in crochet is to revamp old items, so I've been unraveling it and just making a ball of yarn out of it. It was 2 rows each of about 15-20 colors. I was going to make a scarf out of it, probably for a cousin of mine who lrecently started college in NY, but I couldn't decide if I wanted to just do stripes, or do something fun with it. This works out well, because since it was a shell, there's two rows of every color, one from the front and one from the back. So I don't have to deal with separating or cutting my yarn, I'll be able to just use each one separately.

 

I'm SO excited!

 

I'll post, tomorrow, a picure of the shell (what's left of it, at least) and the yarn. I think I'll just do dc in rows on this one.
