Update for Jordan

[RachelG]

Glad to know CPC is appreciated, Deb! (I hate taking all of the credit because my sister helps too.)

 

Sorry I can't help y'all out on your wonderfully thoughtful project, but it's in yarn.

We're going to Michaels first tomorrow (then Wal-Mart), and I know I have seen a Caron teal there in the past. Of course, that means they won't have it now. There is also a TLC Essentials Teal, or maybe a TLC Heathers, but in any case I have my fingers crossed. If I find it, I'll do my squares teal with a teeny bit of purple accent, since the teal is so hard to find. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

I got busy this afternoon and... well.. here's a partial scan of my first square <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/veryhappy.gif" /> :

[Julie]

Deb, it's beautiful! :thumbsup :yay2

 

I am hoping to have the squares sent to Chelle by the end of this month. Sooner if possible, of course. I can hardly wait to get started myself! Hopefully tomorrow!

[MommaChelle]

That's so pretty!! Im going to start on a square tonight in front of the tv if my hubby ever finishes watching his football! Gotta love that tivo

[antara]

I started a Dream Catcher square in some yarn for myself tonight. It's beautiful and works up really fast. I'll probably buy my yarn for Christie's afghan tomorrow. Chelle, did you want us to crochet any certain number along the sides, top and bottom to make the squares easier to join?

[Guest crochetis4fun]

This is my first square. All I need to do is tuck in my ends.

[MommaChelle]

Joy, that square is so pretty!!

 

Hilary, as long as it's 12" square it will be good! I can make the sides an even number of stitches when I add the border.

[Julie]

Joy, what a pretty square! :)h

 

I had no luck at Michaels or Wal-Mart for teal. While I hoped for better, I expected it. I bought a skein of RH Dark Plum to go with my various other shades of purple; somebody mentioned earlier they had bought the Dark Plum so it will coordinate nicely. Off to start my first square!

[RebeccaVelasquez]

had to run to WM this morning, so i went to a different one - and no luck on teal at that one either.

so guess i'll stick with my pale plum and med. purp.

i'm printing off my squares.... so should start on them today.

[Tiffany]

I picked up a skein of RH in Orchid and Monet today to complement my Med. Purple. Now the hard part is choosing a pattern! There are a lot of beautiful ones just calling out to be made!

[Guest crochetis4fun]

While I was working on a square today, I had a thought. How about if each one of us duplicate one of our three squares (which would mean that we are making four) and make the lapghan for Jordan? If we made a duplicate square it would make a smaller version of Mom's and I thought that would be pretty cool. What do you think? Good idea...To MUCH work?

Joy

[RebeccaVelasquez]

i think that sounds fun... i don't mind.

[MommaChelle]

I think that sounds like a good idea!

[Julie]

I do think a lapghan is a great idea! Chelle, is it okay with you, really? You're our joiner...

[Deb]

I can do that! Gladly! what a GREAT idea!!! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/clap.gif" />

 

(as long as Chelle doesn't mind... <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/huh.gif" /> )

[MommaChelle]

I dont mind at all! Ya'll have to realize something, I LUV to crochet :)h hehe

[Guest crochetis4fun]

Chelle,

I do appreciate all the work that you will be doing for us all on this. If you want help, I would be willing. It's just that you do such a beautiful job joining. Three 's for Chelle.

Joy

P.S. I did find a varigated yarn by RH today with Teal in it. It's called Gemstones. I bought one and will use it in one of my squares. Probably the one I will double up on.

[HollyM]

Count me in for an extra square too <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bounce012.gif" />

 

Chelle, thanks again for being our joining queen!

It's <a href="http://www.texasdg.net/daynascrochet/pattern.asp?id=63" target="_new">Sun Daze</a>.

The colors are Dark Plum and Orchid, I think. I've looked at so many purples now! <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif" />

 

[RebeccaVelasquez]

poop! i'm bummed about my first square. i took everything with me to my kiddo's (oldest 2) swim team junk.... and left my patterns at home:bang ----- i didn't want to waste the time, so i just did a traditional granny :irked i'm thinking of going back and adding a 3D rose to the center - but wanted opinions first.... that might throw off the look of the ghan???

the square is out of the med purp and i was thinking of the rose in the pale plum

[Julie]

There is nothing wrong with a traditional granny! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/veryhappy.gif" /> I was half tempted myself to do that. The rose is a great idea!

[antara]

I got my yarn today. I finished my square in Blue Mint from Caron Simply Soft Brights. It looks teal to me.

[Tiffany]

I love the idea of the lapghan! I can handle duplicating one of my squares.

 

I love the look of the dark plum with the orchid, Julie! I knew I should have nabbed the dark plum. Oh well, there always is tomorrow. Hehe

[Julie]

<img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bounce012.gif" /> I'm thinking I need a lot more of that Dark Plum than I bought, too. Eight or nine skeins for sure, don't you think? hehehehehehehee <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" />
