Hi everyone,

Glad to here most are well and crocheting along at a good pace.

Mel, I see you are still speedy, sore finger and all. I like the shawl.

Crocheted parts of my purse are done, all that remains now is the sewing. Should be able to post pics tomorrow, I took some as I was going along so the progress is documented. Started as a pattern from here and now is something totally different, the only similarity is the cables on the front... It is weird how I really like a pattern, but once I start I go off on a completely different tangent, Does this happen with you guys too??

All the time

Wow, it has been really quiet here.

 

Mel, your shawl looks really pretty. I like the colors in it a lot.

 

I haven't done any crocheting yet today, but hope to work on my cardigan a bit tonight.

Hi Ladies,

 

Been out all day. Visited the other threads first and had many posts to read. This one is much easier to catch up. Well, I'm off to see if I can get some hooking in. Will check in later.

 

Mel, I like your shawl.

[luvtocrochet757]

I imagine its slow because everybody is crocheting for others instead of themselves since Xmas is fastly approaching.

Hmmmm....gotta get Tab, Julie and Krystal in here with me to stir things up a bit more:devil:devil:devil

[luvtocrochet757]

I know, its tooo quiet. I'm always laughing when I get my turn at the puter. My family just shakes their head.

True....

 

I have a bag I'm making for my 16 yo goddaughter and it has morphed. I didn't like the idea of an open tote bag, so I stopped going up in the height and have now begun to decrease slightly as I make a flap to cover the opening. I'm going to make it an abbreviated shoulder bag, and trim it in a deep blue suede to match the light blue body. I WILL NOT line it, so I bought a couple of small zippered bags to put inside for her important stuff. The finished product should be interesting:P

Judy,

 

That's a great idea. I'm sure she is going to love it. I haven't done any crocheting today. I will do something though before I go to bed. It is therapy to my soul.

[judianne]

It's certainly therapy for me...crochet has gotten me through some very nerve-wracking times over the years.

 

Have a good night, Valerie. Tammy is in good hands now.

[luvtocrochet757]

Thanks Judy. You have a good night too. My sister almost has our nightly snack ready so I am going to chow and then do a little hooking before bedding down for the night.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Valerie~I'm really sorry about your friend Tammy. I'm glad they got there in time & that she's getting the help she needs now.

 

 

Crocheting has also gotten me through some stressful times. It is my sanity. I believe that whole heartedly.

[cheerios1004]

I finally got to the store to buy some more yarn, I am now working on my Elvis ghan.

[luvtocrochet757]

Thanks Tabby. I'm glad your baby is also doing better. Have a good night. Chat with you tomorrow.

Howdy doody everyone,

 

Hows everyone going with their projects.

[luvtocrochet757]

Hello Wendy,

 

I'm still searching for my second "ME" ghan. However, in the meantime, I've just started a RR or at least attempting to do one. Is it suppose to ruffle up during the beginning stages. I'm on row 7 and it still has the ruffle effect. Does it straighten out later or do I need to take it down.

 

How was your outing with your Mum. Hope you had a great day!

[Aussie]

Valerie howdy. Which RR pattern are you doing. The sewonfire ripple pattern has a error in row 3.

 

I had a great day at mums, we did some xmas shopping and had lunch.

[luvtocrochet757]

I'm glad you had fun. I'm trying the sewonfire ripple and I corrected round 3 (I think) but it does not lie flat.

[luvtocrochet757]

Wendy,

 

I figured it out. I duplicated round 2 and put doubles in each double . I should have known better than trying to start something so late/early. Thanks anyway, I'll frog it in the later hours of the morning. I'm going to bed. What time is it where you are?

[judianne]

Cheerios, I'm looking forward to seeing Elvis:D

 

Valerie, I'm glad you figured out the problem with the RR. Sometimes the simpler patterns give me fits till I make at least a few of them!

[Gardener]

Just dropping in to say good morning. No crochet progress to report at all.

[Aussie]

Valerie Im glad you got it worked out.

 

Does anyone know how to add the granny squares to the round ripple.
