Pillowghan CAL

[Tiffany]

Your neopolitan colors are turning out so nice! I love how it looks so far.

 

I've got three squares done so far, slowly, but surely making progress.

Michelle (shelbyro) requested a button for the Pillowghan Crochetalong. I made this one:

Nice one! I like it!:jump

[Guest PamCrochets]

Thank you for making the button Julie. Good job! It's going right on my blog.

You're welcome Pam and Michelle. I'm glad you both like it! <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif" />

Where's everyone at? I'm plugging along because I desperately want to start working with my kool-aid wool and make my purse. Can't start that until I finish this CAL. I just finished the 24th block. I can hardly believe I only have four more to go!!! <img border=0 src="http://members.aol.com/dustkittys/clap.gif" />

 

How's everyone doing?? <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif" />

I've given myself a deadline that I hope to finish this by (end of May), but I'm still having trouble getting motivated to work on a square. It's really silly because I love making the squares. So, I have 3 of the 28 made. :\

 

I think I might make a few tonight to not feel so bad about having it sit there.

Something about the 63 square cal is sucking me in--that's all I've been working on. my pineapple squares are jeering at me. I need to get back to them. I'm half done, I just can't get moving on it.<img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif" />

I think that's what happened to me too. A 7" in square in a new stitch I've never done before is much more tempting to do. Even though right now I'm in a huge potholder mood. I have found some really original patterns online (and dishcloths too) and I can't help myself!

[Guest PamCrochets]

Julie, it looks like you're going to be the first one done. I got started later than I thought I would. I had to get that baby sweater done, and the socks just pulled me in. I've started working on my squares this week, so I'll get more done now.

I probably won't get any work done on it today or tomorrow. I should have the blocks done by the end of next week at the latest and then can sit under them in 80° and start joining them together. Maybe that is why I've slowed down! LOL <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif" />

Okay gals, I'm bowing out of this crochetalong. I'm going to make one more square and turn the ones I have into 12" pillows with a nice little shell edging. I feel so sad that I've decided to move on to other projects.

 

I can't wait to see everyone elses finished project though.

[Julie]

Okay - squares are done, finally. I started stitching them together last night and though that will take a little while, I've already started thinking about some sort of border. I said at first I'd do a hdc border around, but what about other suggestions? I want something solid to contrast the open pattern. What about a hdc around, then a reverse sc? A little extra texture. Now if only I can remember how to do that stitch. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif" />

[Donna]

I love an hdc around, then reverse sc around. That's one of my favorite edgings!

[Julie]

My pillowghan is done! I've posted pictures in my blog if anyone cares to see. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif" />

[Donna]

Beautiful job, Julie!

It's beautiful. This is the first one I've seen...makes me want to do one someday. Your work is so very nice.

I just wanted to let you all know that after weeks and weeks, I finally made another pineapple square! It wasn't so bad, I guess I just needed a break! 14 more.....

[shelbyro]

Well, I got so mad at a sock I was making [emphasis on was, I frogged it]--that I decided to get strict with myself.

 

<img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/nono.gif" /> No more new projects til this pillowghan is DONE!

 

So, I popped out 3 more squares, and only have 10 left to go!

 

Anybody else workin' on their's?

[Julie]
