:cheer2 I love it, Michelle!

It definitely puts me in the mood for ice cream. :ducky

Julie · December 7, 2004

Great job Michelle! I think those colors look great together! Is this going to be a gift now since you got it done, or are you keeping it for yourself? :*cwreath )

shelbyro · December 7, 2004

Thanks everyone!

Yes, it's going to be a gift for Emma, my 10 yo. Of course she's seen it already, because I've been working on it for a loooooong time, but she's still psyched. I didn't let her try it out before I stashed it away, lol.

That was very creative of you to choose those colors!!! I'm also enjoying your new blog - I've added it to my bloglines!!

Also - I'm almost finished with my pillowghan - just have the pillow part left to do and ends to tuck.... hopefully this week!

Thank you Mitzi! It really was fun to make, and I can't take full credit for the color combination, but Emma and I are pleased with how it came out.

I'm glad you like my new(ish) blog--I like blogger alot so far...

RebeccaVelasquez · December 9, 2004

that's really lovely, mitzi!!:)h

what pattern did you use? i like that it is all in one and not squares.... oh how i dislike joining.....

is this for you? or a gift?:*cgift

RitziMitzi · December 10, 2004

<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/sheepxmas.gif" />Thanks for all the wonderful comments!!

I had my husband try it out last night (he had wanted a blanket with a foot pocket) and I think he'd like to keep it, so we just may hold on to it - if not, then I will donate it to an organization I used to work with through Project Linus. I would love to make another one!

The pattern is from a Leisure Arts booklet called "Variegated Variety" and is the Star Pillowghan pattern. I was all squared out when I started and it was nice to have something done in one piece. THe stitch is very similar to the Trinity Stitch on the 63 squares thing - in fact, it just might be the same one. The yarn is RH Fiesta in Millenium - works up really nice and is wonderful to use.

Hello,

Is it to late to join this ?

I just joined and love the idea of the Pillowghans.

NancyCA · February 13, 2005

Okay..all this talk of pillowghans got me to wanting to make one. I'm already in the ripple and 63, so why not this one! hahaha

I started a 12 inch granny square pillowghan last night. I am making it for my sister's friend who was in the army for 50 years. I have 3 squares done so far.

Hugs!

RitziMitzi · February 13, 2005

Amberfire3 · February 15, 2005

Yipee!! way cool.

Okay I have two started but one is cheating LOL.

I am making one out of 12 inch granny squares made out of whatever scraps I have just sitting around. The other is RHSS yarn I have had sitting around for several years and it will also be Granny squares 12 for my living room.

The scrappy one sqaures are almost done thats why I said I was cheating. I think I will Take it to the Rehab center my ML is in for an extra Lap robe she can keep as a pillow when she doiesn't need it.

Be blessed

Mickie

RitziMitzi · February 15, 2005

<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/cheer.gif" />That's a great idea - and i wouldn't say that's cheating! <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bouquet2.gif" />

Looking forward to seeing the finished projects!!

Mom w/a Motif · February 17, 2005

Hi everyone! I'm new in the Pillowghan CAL. Well, technically, I joined a couple of weeks ago. But as of yesterday, I am officially "Crocheting-Along.":) I am making a "Spidey" Pillowghan. In blue and red (for Spiderman), for my nephew. I foresee making at least three more of these, (My two year old wants one, and so does my eight-year old...) Then I will have to make one for the other nephew, so he doesn't get jealous of his cousins' spiderman blankets. so I will probably be in this CAL for a long time... I am using this: Daynas Crochet Spider Web Square

It came up blurry. I had to try about four times to get it to work (never done this before.)... It keeps coming up blurry. Sorry.

So far I have 3 squares done, I wish I had a digital camera to post a picture, but they are looking better than I thought they would. And are about nine inches wide. The bigger, the better (less squares I have to do.)

RitziMitzi · February 17, 2005

That's an awesome square! Red and Blue will be so much nicer than the pictured orange and black, too!

NancyCA · February 18, 2005

I have 4 of my squares done so far. I will take some digi pics later today and post them so you can see. The camoflauge yarn is really cool!!

:ducky

RitziMitzi · February 18, 2005

Oh, I can't wait to see them! I love the look of camo yarn, though I've yet to work with it!!

<img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bouquet2.gif" /><a href="http://yarntomato.com" target="_new">Donna</a> has graciously made us a banner for the Pillowghan CAL website and it looks AWESOME!<img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/ura1.gif" />

NancyCA · February 19, 2005

I have put some updated pics on my blog...go take a looksee. This is really fun yarn to work with and I love the colors to boot!

Amberfire3 · February 22, 2005

Well i don't have any pictures yet and I don't have a blog but I thought I would post an update anyway since I am hoping this will help me stay movated.

I have the first 4 blocks of the scrap yarn grany pillowgha m i am working on done. I ended up making 15inch blocks each made of 4 smaller blocks to give it a little more body.

I am hoping to have some pictures this weekend.

Mickie

NancyCA · February 23, 2005

Sounds great Mickey! Can't wait to see some pics!
