63 Cable Stitches CAL

[mommy2jj3604]

Ok I was going to put this off for a while but I decided to make this into a blanket for my hubby for christmas and thought why not start a CAL for support and some

 

I am making mine in black burgundy and deft blue RHSS and I am doubling the squares to be 12" without edging and about 14" with the edging....I'll let you know how that works out for me

 

So jump right in if you want to do the CAL with me...BTW it is a Leisure Arts book and it's called 63 crochet cable stitches

[losingmymind2]

I have it, and will be making some of the squares to go in my 63 ghan. It's mostly from the original 63, but some 63 more and a couple for 63 cable I think. Since it's for me, it gets put aside when I've got other people to crochet for, so it's taking a long time to finish.

[mommy2jj3604]

Kathy-Nice of you to join me I was going to wait to start this for myself after christmas but then decided I wanted to make it for hubby because he said he liked cables so here I am. Can't wait to see pictures of your squares (all of them).

I would like to join in more as a lurker/participant. I have the book and want to make the squares but I don't plan to make an afghan with them.

 

This should be neat to have others to help with the challenging ones.

 

Thanks for starting this one.

[mommy2jj3604]

Darski-Welcome!! What are you going to make with them if not an afghan? Where have you been? I have missed you.

 

I hope more people will join in but oh well....Your welcome btw.

I will probably end up with a bunch of pet snuggles.

 

I want to learn the techniques so that I can use (some of) them for an Aran Sweater at some point.

 

I took some time off. I needed to just get away and do something different in my life. I tried drinking coffee every day and not coming to the Ville. Just needed a shake-up. BTW the coffee was a bust... my tummy was not happy

[sewnsew]

Oh Jenni. LOL Of course I'm in. I don't know when I'm going to start this one. Hmmm... I'll try to get the yarn for this one next month in October. LOL This month I'm getting yarn for a PS. OH I think I may be crazy to add another WIP to my list

[mommy2jj3604]

LOL I knew you couldn't stay away form this one Donna!! Don't worry I will most likely do another one for myself so I will prolly be here for a while!!!

 

 

Darski-Well I am glad to see you back no matter what the reasons for getting away

[PBLKNP]

Bummer...I wish I could join, but I completed this one back in July. Good luck to all, though!

[tahlara]

I have other books, but not cable 63 stitches. Do anyone have any idea where I can get the book ? All three are on my WIMs list.

 

I will lurk on this thread and cheer anyone up if it's needed.

[PBLKNP]

I actually got the kit from Herrschners as a Christmas present last year, so I'm assuming you could get the book from them. Also, I bet Michaels, AC Moore, or JoAnns might have it. I've seen it in my Mary Maxim catalogue, too.

[mommy2jj3604]

Diane-I got mine at AC Moore and I have the 63 pattern stitches that I belive I got at Michaels. I don't know if that helps any or not but you could also check amazon for it.

 

Pam-Seens how you have done this maybe if there are any issues we can ask you? If you don't mind

[losingmymind2]

I saw the book in Joanns the other day, but you can order directly from Leisure Arts, too.

:oopsWhy didn't I think of that? You're so smart Kathy!!

[tahlara]

Hehe, thank you for the tips. I will look around and see if I can get a good deal for the book.

[darski]

Well this is interesting... I have to go see where I am currently storing my actual copy of the book.

 

it is most certainly not lost ... it's just, um, er, ah, locationally challenged at the moment... yeah that's the ticket!

[losingmymind2]

Like my cell phone, locationally challenged! Today I found my potassium capsules (two huge bottles) that were missing for a week, and returned two library books I'd already paid for.

[sewnsew]

LOL Kathy I did that too. Well the returning books I already paid for. It was nice getting the refund Gave me a little yarn money

[mommy2jj3604]

Darski that is hilarious I will have to use that one!!!

 

Donna that's great that you got a bit more yarn money!!

 

Kathy don't you love when you find things that have been missing for a while?

[slicer]

Count me in...I'm gonna make these with my scrap yarn when I get bored working on my other projects. I was just thinking about this book today and also trying to figure what to do with my scraps. Perfect timing.
