neat!!! I love your colors!!!

I am finishing up my last row. I need this for a gift for TOMORROW!!!! :eek

WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!

It should be done!!! :clap

RitziMitzi · November 17, 2005

Hunh?
when you tuck it in do you fold it over or tuck it in?

The pocket folds over the top of the folded up blanket. Lay it out flat with the pocket on the bottom.

Fold one side to the middle, but not all the way to the edge.

Fold the other side over the middle to the edge - the blanket will be in thirds.

Then start bringing in the non pocket edge. I start with a quarter fold, then fold again and again until it is at the edge with the pocket. Then I pick the whole thing up - stick my hand in the pocket and grab the inside and pull it over the folded blanket.

I hope that helps - it's hard to explain!

I'm working on block 10 and have a question. I'm working the pineapple granny, how have those of you that work this pattern joined them?? crochet or whip stich.

In the gallery they all look great but it hard to tell from a picture how they are joined.

Jimmie Lu · November 22, 2005

I did not do the pineapple but I whip stitched mine. Thats fast! And thats what I needed.

RitziMitzi · November 27, 2005

:cheer :clap :yay :yay

It's beautiful! Are these the photos you want me to use for the gallery, or do you want me to wait until you have photos of ends joined? Just let me know! You did an awesome job!!!!

crothread · December 7, 2005

I now have 5 rows of my pillow ghan. Today is the deadline I gave myself to have it done by so It could go out as holiday gift. As it is a gift and they have access to my blog no pictures are up yet and I can't figure out how to post them here.

RitziMitzi · December 7, 2005

If you'd like you can send them to me thru e-mail and I will post them to the gallery - mitzi@ccrtc.com

I'm looking forward to pictures and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

crothread · December 14, 2005

I finnished last night. All the ends are in and the border is on! I'm so happy!!!! :c9 I sent my pictures to Mitz. Thanks for the help with getting them up. :eek I'm so clueless on the computer.

RitziMitzi · December 15, 2005

Two more completed Pillowghans by Lonna and Amanda have been added to the Gallery !!!!!

GREAT JOB! The gallery is really filling up now and it looks so nice!

Jimmie Lu · December 15, 2005

I joined and finished mine. But thismorining my daughter informed me that she wants one also so I guess I am back in for another round!!! lol:manyheart

RitziMitzi · December 15, 2005

Cool! Happy to have you back again for round two! :hook

I'm still working on my second one, so you're not alone!

purplekitty · January 20, 2006

Is it too late to join this CAL? I've never made one, but think they are so cool, I'd like to try.

RitziMitzi · January 20, 2006

Hi! It's definitely not too late at all - this is an ongoing thing and some of us are on our second one. It's been quiet here lately, so it's nice to have some one new! Welcome!!! When you decide - please share what pattern you'll be using and what colors you pick and just have fun with this! There's no timeline pressure for completion. Glad to have you with us :hook :hug

purplekitty · January 20, 2006

Okay. I've decided on the one I'm going to start! I just bought the two out-of-print Leisure Arts leaflets, Pillowghans for Baby 1 & 2 and got one in the mail today. I'm going to be starting on the Heart pattern and will be making it for one of my grandsons. I think I'm going to use the colors they suggest - pink, white and green. Now I just have to get my yarn!

I have a question about the buttons. Are we supposed to post them somewhere? Do you normally put them on your websites and link to the thread? How about including them in a newsletter? :think

RitziMitzi · January 20, 2006

That sounds beautiful! As far as the buttons go - you are not required to put them anywhere - they're just for your websites, blogs or galleries - but you're more than welcome to put it in a newsletter. I think that's a fantastic and new idea!

purplekitty · January 29, 2006

Just thought I'd check in. Is everyone busying crocheting new pillowghans? :lol

I've gotten the first 12" square done and I'm working on the second. My youngest son saw it and guess what - he's claimed the finished product for his own. So, it looks like after I finish this one, I'll need to start another one up! I'm trying to find time in between "work" so it'll probably take me awhile to get this done.

TamiCrochets · March 24, 2006

Iread there was still time to join in on this? I am interested.. I have never made one before but want to start doing it.. My fiance is a truck driver so it would be good to make one for him and it would be small enough to store ... thanks
