Cant wait to see the things you make!!

 

Thank You Shay, that is what I needed to hear :hug:manyheart

[Gardener]

Carol, you got great deals and had a fun day. I think you are totally worth some new yarn.

[Misa]

Carol, of course it's okay!

[judianne]

Good night ladies...see ya in the morning.

I know this CAL will get moving once Christmas is over.

 

Here's the bag I just finished for my 16 yo niece

 

[Gardener]

Judy, that bag is really pretty.

[Misa]

Very nice Judy!

Hi Ladies,

 

Shay - Glad you're leaving the red in the center only. Very nice RR.

 

Carol - You deserve everything you got today. The more you give, the more you're blessed to give. I'm glad you found such great bargains.

 

Judy - Love the purse for your niece.

 

Have a good night ladies. Going to try to do a little crocheting before going to bed.

Carol, what wonderful buys you got. You deserve it! Enjoy yourself! Be Happy!!

Judy, that is a beautiful bag. Way to go!!

[judianne]

Thanks for the compliments everyone...blue was the choice because my brother says she lives in jeans, so....

Morning Ladies,

 

Busy day today and back to work tomorrow. My friend Tammy is coming home today. I'll check back in later.

 

Have a great day.

i'm kind of new here and not sure how this works. can i join now or does it have to be at a certain time? if i can, i would love the motivation of a cal. i want to finish a shawl or little shrug or something to wear to my christmas party...i bought the yarn yesterday, bernat bamboo in ivory, and i love it. we'll see how i do...

[QueenOfCrochet]

Norah~Welcome, the more the merrier. Is the bamboo yarn soft? Let me know how it is to work with when you get started. DO you have a pattern in mind? Okay, nough with the 50 questions.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Judy~Beautiful bag. Your niece will love it.

[norahkate]

oh, the bamboo yarn is sooo soft - i'm just in love with it lately. i made a flowered scarf-type thing for my mother out of it and found that it's really nice to work with, although better with a plastic hook than aluminum because the pointier hooks tend to get caught up a little. but it's not bad compared to other yarns and, like i said, it's so soft and works up beautifully.

 

as for patterns, i thought about using the bolero pattern from lion brand (it calls for some kind of ribbon yard, trellis maybe?) it's a pretty simple pattern, but i don't want to cover the front of my dress because i love it and just need something to keep me warm. also it uses an N hook so i'm much more likely to finish in time!

[judianne]

Tabby, thanks...I also picked up 2 zippered bags to include - one for drivers license, ID, the other for whatever... I did not want to line this thing!!

 

 

Welcome, Norah! The more the merrier...and if you have a pattern you'd like to share, feel free to post it.

I have a shawl a SP made for me from bamboo yarn...it's scrumcious!

[luvtocrochet757]

Welcome Norah.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Norah, welcome to the group and to Crochetville! Glad to have to join us.

I'm so stiff and sore this morning, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do. Hopefully, the stiffness will work itself out as I get moving. I'll try a hot shower too.

[JulieKay]

Shay- love the RR- I won't make a vote either way-- I like it the way it is, but wouldn't know what to say about adding the red, unless I SAW it with some red on the outer part, then I could say.

I'll just vote along with everyone else-- this makes it look like a flower, with red as the center .

 

Judy- your niece should love her purse, it is really cute ! Nice colors, too for a girl who likes jeans !

 

Norah-welcome, you are allowed to jump in any old time, we love to have new people in the group .

 

Carol-it sounds like you made a haul, and don't feel bad or guilty-- sometimes I do the same, I buy me a bunch of yarn then think I shouldnt have,but I guess we all deserve a treat now and then .

[Krystal16]

Uh oh.. this is the 2nd CAL I've welcomed Norah to.... I see an addict in the making! Ladies, let's welcome our newest CAL addict!

 

 

Hi Norah, My Name is Krystal, and I'm CAL and yarn addict, too"..

[JulieKay]

Yep. Krystal

 

We sucked another one into the BLACK HOLE ........

[judianne]

Thanks, Julie....a girl can never have too many bags, is what I figure:D

[Gardener]

Welcome, Norah!

[Misa]

Yep. Krystal

 

We sucked another one into the BLACK HOLE ........

 

 

Welcome Norah !! Grab yer hook and pull up a seat

[DreamsOfYarn]

Shaylen I love the RR . I love how you have the middle red. If it was mine, I would keep the red in the middle only. But, that is just me (and a few others here ), you have to make the final decision

 

Carol sounds like you had a great day shopping :clap. Don't feel guilty or selfish for buying yarn and other goodies for yourself. We all need to indulge once in a while.

 

Judy what a cute purse. I'm sure your niece will love it. I sure do :yes

 

Norah to the group. We love having new people join us. Grab your and start your project. One of these days I'm going to buy some bamboo yarn to make myself something. I haven't decided what yet, though.
