I'm Falling For You .......................

[Skysmom]

There's a very cute fall pattern here (and winter and non season-specific)

It's hard to tell from the picture, but I think they're made with 3-round grannies.

 

Thanks, Barbara...those are wonderful patterns! I hope to have time today to look at yarn and make a final decision on colors.

 

Tabby, Good for you for getting started. I already know this one will be a WIP for a while!

[ginamaria73]

OOOhhh. The pumpkin fallghan pattern you posted from Annies Attic, Barbara, is really cool looking!

 

I have been at the hospital with my mom the last couple days, and I have managed to get some squares done, but I was hoping to finish a block a week, but unless I get some major quiet time this weekend, thats not going to happen. I will post a pic though, of what I do have done tomorrow evening. I have sewn the first block together, and am ABOUT halfway done with the squares for the second block. I am really diggin' this project, it just seems like life gets in the way of my crocheting time a lot! When it starts to get cooler out like this(in Minnesota) all i want to do is curl up with my crocheting and a nice fluffy chick flick and my lil stinky dog and stitch the day away. But with moving, and my son going back to school and work and my mom, its a wonder I ever get any ME time! Guess thats just the way it goes.

Hang in there, Gina. And just use the time you have. I think we'll all (or at least most of us) will be working on this one for quite a while.

[ginamaria73]

Oh yeah. and really, theres no rush I guess. it's just hard cuz you get excited about a project and wanna just go go go!

[Skysmom]

Gina, I am the same way. I can't wait to see how the pattern comes together! At least the squares are easy to take along almost anywhere. I hope your Mom is okay.

[ginamaria73]

yup-been draggin a skein of yarn & hook with me everywhere just in case i have time. very portable project.

my mom is better. she ended up having her pacemaker replaced with a bi-ventricular pacemaker with a defibulator attached to it. her color is better already. she was as white as a sheet for a week beforehand. she said the normal persons hear pumps at between 60-65%. when she went into the hospital, hers was at 10%. problem was, no one was doing anything and she was walking around like that. then a dr told her yesterday-her heart was at 10%...there IS NO 5%. oh great. so she was that close....ugh. i am not ready to lose my mom. shes on the transplant list now, because if this doesnt work, the next step is a transplant.we are all trying to stay hopeful.

[Skysmom]

Gina, I'm so glad she is doing better and hopefully the new pacemaker will help a lot.

[JulieKay]

Gina

I hope your mom's pacemaker helps her out a lot. She may need to stay on the list, but hopefully the pacemaker will keep her in fairly good shape til a heart becomes available .

[Misa]

Gina - That's great that they helped your mom out! Sometimes the pacemaker does wonders. Should have her life easier until a heart is found. Big hugs going out to you and mom

[ginamaria73]

Thanks. I appreciate all of you. I just got a call from her too, and shes checking out of the hospital to go home.

 

Cara-we've both had a great weight lifted this week, huh?

[Skysmom]

Wonderful news, Gina!

To quote Tabby, Amen Sista

[Skysmom]

Hi ladies. I am still undecided on what pattern to make, but I would like to use this kitty somewhere...he looks so much like DD's adopted cat, Lucky.

 

[judianne]

Mary, that's so cute!! Looks like Cara's kitties, too:D

[QueenOfCrochet]

That is adorable Mary.

[Aussie]

Gina thats great news about your Mum.

 

Mary your Puddytat pattern looks great.

 

I havent got to the fall ghan yet, it will get done eventually. I will watch from the sidelines and see all the creations you girls come up with.

[ginamaria73]

Thanks everyone! She is home now. I went for a walk around the block with her today. She was winded by the time we got back, but she made it

 

I really like the cat pattern a lot!!

[Skysmom]

Gina, that is great news about your mom.

 

The kitty pattern is free and on Quiltzine.com...I saved it a long time ago and am going to figure out how to add him to a Fall ghan.

[Misa]

Mary - I love that kitty!

 

Gina - I'm so glad Mom's doing better She made it around the block? That's better than I do most days

 

I finally finished my Navajo!! Now just gotta make 50 little booties for nieces shower, a baby blanket and a bear all in the next 5 weeks How do I get myself into these things? Oh yeah, I volunteered

 

But I plan to make Fall squares along the way because the finished item might end up the door prize at the shower I'd better get busy

[Skysmom]

Cara, congratulations on finishing the Navajo. Sounds like you have a full schedule for the next few weeks!

That I do...but I actually enjoy this kind of thing. Just wouldn't want to do it every day

[ginamaria73]

Mary-just throw an orange bow around the cats neck & do the background in gold and you got a fallghan!

 

Cara-that is a LOTof lil booties!!

[Skysmom]

Hi Ladies. I'm still playing with patterns and hope to start something this week.

[Misa]

Still trying to get some time on mine as well through everything else

 

I really want this ghan for my sister when I see her at the end of next month. I better get moving

[Skysmom]
