Chie - your doilie is beautiful! I love those rose doilies. :artist

Michele - no prob! I'll set up the account tomorrow.

Hamlette - OMG! :wow That is a LOT of thread! I don't think you'll lack for thread for a while! I hope it's all different colors?

Lydarose2 - Absolutely! I'll set your account up tomorrow too. Oh, and you are brave! That bookmark looks very intricate. Very lovely though.

Thanks for the button Mommiechickie! I'll add it to the blog tomorrow.

Off to work on my doilie for 10 min before hitting the sack. :yawn

hamlette2002 · January 12, 2005

They are all huge cones, but I have 5 or 6 different colors!

Chie · January 12, 2005

Thank you Anna! ) I'm going to make another rose doily too. !

Hamlett - I like your piggy avatar. ) Did you crochet it by yourself?

hamlette2002 · January 12, 2005

Yes, Chie - I got the pattern from here - Piggy Potholder

Chie · January 12, 2005

Thank you Hamlett! ) I gotta make one one day.

I look forward to seeing your pineapple doily. :bounce

Hi Ladies -

I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to make any gallery accounts today. I worked late, I'm slightly sick, and I'm really upset at my brother right now - long story. So, I promise I'm not ignoring you, I'm just going to go take some Nyquil and go to bed.

Julie · January 13, 2005

Rest well Anna, don't worry. :hug

Michele · January 13, 2005

I have 9 rounds left on my doily. Not gonna set a date for finishing it though. I already have several other patterns bookmarked for this CAL....I'm loving it!:)h

Elizabeth · January 14, 2005

Hi! Count me in! I just left a comment in the blog and I'm headed out to Joanne's.

I love thread crochet! :)h

hamlette2002 · January 15, 2005

Thanks, Dawn, I'm glad, too! The fun part is that a couple of the colors are variegated, so everything I make is going to look a little unique!

Stacey · January 15, 2005

Anna, I hope you're feeling better! :hug

I've been having some technical difficulties with the Celtic bookmark, but I think I've got it under control now. I've been alternating between working on it and weaving in 200+ ends on a throw rug (I always end up leaving that til the end even though I know it would be easier to do it as I go along...)

ThreadHeroine · January 15, 2005

I finally finished my Parisian Pineapple :cloud9 I finished it a few days ago but finally got it blocked and photographed.

With all these bookmarks going around I'm going to have to start making me some :thinking1

jingles96 · January 16, 2005

lydarose2 - thanks! I am. And good luck on the bookmark!

MsKennedy - your pineapple doilie is very beautiful!

I've caught up on making the new gallery users and sent them out a little while ago. I even managed to finish round 3 and start round 4 on my doilie this evening!

How is everybody else's projects coming along?

srmc · January 16, 2005

I would have to say that so far my first experience with thread is going well. I had some problems with my project being kind of lopsided. Well I fixed that. It is amazing what can happen when a ch5 is missed! LOL! It is now starting to look more like the photo on the pattern page. I have not worked on it the last couple of days but with this nice long weekend I am hoping that I can finish it. I do have a question though. Are all thread projects supposed to be pinned and blocked when finished? Thanks.

Julie · January 16, 2005

I'm on the last round of the Passion Flower doily so should have it finished sometime tomorrow. :clap

jingles96 · January 16, 2005

Julie -

I just looked at your Things to Do with Yarn site. I :heart those first two bookmarks you have in the thread section. :wowdrool Where did you find the patterns for them?

Julie · January 16, 2005

Boy, I need to fix that page! The background doesn't show up and that just irritates me to no end. :ohdear ) Both of those come from the 3 Dozen & One Bookmarks book by Annie's Attic. The book is still one of the few crochet books left at Walmart the last time I checked so it's pretty easy to find.

mc_crochets · January 16, 2005

i'm still managing at least one row a night at work, but seeing as how my project is HUGE i've gotten about an eighth of it done LOL I'm hoping robert has to work this comming wednesday (my day off) so I can work on it here at home AND take a photo of the progress. For those who have seen the link, i'm almost to the top of the bottom "fancy stitches" with like 3 rows of that left to do (yeah i know, i'm not making much sense....i've only been awake about 30 minutes though) :camera to come soon!!

Chie · January 16, 2005

MsKennedy -

I love your doily! It's so beautiful!!! I'm not very good at pineapples... Whenever I try, it gets lopsided for some reason. :thinking2

Julie -

I can't wait to see your doily! )

LanetteG · January 16, 2005

here is the beginning of my project, I have 2 more colors(I think) of squares. I'm attempting a poncho, but instead of just joing the squares I would like to attach them using a more open decorative stitch. I will probably just choose one from my crochet bible, but any suggestions?

I'm always hot and am looking for something I can wear with something layered underneath, but not pass out from heat exhaustion!:o

Thanks!:w-flake

Congrats on being so close! I can't wait to see it. I love seeing the finished projects so far!

srmc · January 16, 2005

Lanette - Great job on the squares. I love the colors you chose. Sorry I cannot help with the decorative stitch. I have not attached anything (that could be seen) before.

Julie · January 16, 2005

I finished the Passion Flower doily! :clap

I posted it to my blog (bigger picture there), now I'm heading over to see if I can figure out how to add the photo to the CAL gallery. :thinking1 :wink
