Join Us for the "ME" CAL!

[forines13]

Carol, that is upsetting to hear. I have stopped sending made things to relations overseas as I have had that happen to me. Thankfully, so far in Australia I have had no problem. Having said that I have just sent some stuff to friends .... I hope it arrives.

:cheer:yay:yay:yay:yay:yay:cheer:cheer

 

I have done it!!! Still have quite a few ends to weave but it is finished.

I made it so it can go around my shoulders or I can choose to wear it so it covers my head and shoulders. I like the colours although I cannot seem to capture the true colour on photo. Yesterday I kept making errors and frogging so it is a wonder I have made it!!!

Ines, your shawl is beautiful.

Carol sorry about the package. I haven't had that problem yet, (crossing fingers...) Here's hoping that it eventually turns up.

[Misa]

Ines your shawl came out great!! Excellent job

[judianne]

Ines, the shawl looks great!!

 

and speaking of weaving in ends...I just showed a neighbor how to do that with a baby blanket I've been talking her though...she likes it over making knots. In fact her 13 YO told her to "wait for Judy, she knows what she's doing" when her mom mentioned maybe getting it over with by knotting the loose ends!

Thanks everyone, :hugIm just glad I have the xmas ripple finished now. I so want to get back to squares and little projects. I do however want to make another ripple to cover that table for year round use, because as soon as xmas is over that ripple will go in the cupboard for next year.

 

Julie your Cam stories are so cute and whats this about a new idea. What have you got cooking young lady.

 

Carol so sorry to hear that your package has gone missing. I hope it turns up soon.

 

Ines your shawl is beautiful, :clapI really like the pattern was it easy to do. It will come in handy when you go overseas.

 

I guess my next me project is the babette.

Yes it sure gives a nicer finish that having knots everywhere doesnt it.

Im glad she waited for you to come over and show her what to do.

Ines, your shawl is gorgeous!

[Yaviiniia Loenla Enath]

Can I join this? I have a REALLY gorgeous coat I'm working on.

[Super Granny]

the more the merrier the only prerequisite is we have to make something for ourselves... I need to get back to my shrug which took a back seat during the gift making season...

[Misa]

Sure c'mon in I wanna make a coat too one of these days Which pattern are you doing?

[judianne]

Hi, "Yav" (hope you don't mind the abbreviation...)

C'mon in, the water's fine, as they say. A coat - such a great project! How far along are you on it?

[HappyOldCro]

OK, what is a babette???

Thanks for all the good wishes for my package, but I think it is long gone.

I did push myself to do some crocheting today. Playing around with making a checkered afghan of my own design. Need to use up some more of my balls and half skeins. I think I will call it my pick me up afghan,

Hi and welcome Yaviiniia. I think I met you on the 8 pocket tote Cal.

You are among some of the greatest ladies in this cal.

Wow, a coat!!! That is really a great project....I never had the courage to make a wearable that big.

[JulieKay]

Welcome Yaviiniia

It's always nice to have new people join us, and this is a great group of ladies. You should enjoy yourself a lot getting to know all of them !

 

I too have put my ME project so far on the back burner-- doggone, I may just have to start a new one .

 

When am I gonna learn not to start 700 projects at once ????

 

Ines- I am glad you finished your shawl in time for your trip. It is REALLY pretty !

[DreamsOfYarn]

Good morning ladies!!

Everyone's projects are just beautiful. I haven't read all the posts yet, I am playing catch up on this thread again. I've been working many hours and trying to get everything finished up for Christmas.

 

Carol, I am so very sorry to hear about the missing package. I hope it turns up for you.

 

All of the RR's are done except for my oldest son's. I found out he won't be with us on Christmas day, so he will get his (along with my Grandson's) in a few days. Well, I still have a few ends to weave in on a few, then I have to take pictures of them. Since I don't have boxes big enough for them, I bought some colored garbage bags and I will put the RR's in them, close it up with a crocheted tie and a bow. Not very creative, but it will work.

 

I still have fudge to make today. I was going to make it last night, but I made the mistake of laying down to watch a movie at 6:30, and woke up at 6:30 this morning :eek So, after thinking I would be caught up last night, I'm behind again. I knew the long hours and only about 4 hours of sleep all last week would catch up with me.

 

Have a great day, and I'll post pictures when I have taken them all.

[judianne]

Mel, after 12 hours of sleep I'll bet you're recharged now!!

And you're right about the RRs....there no box big enough for those babies!!

Enjoy your Christmas!

[luvtocrochet757]

Morning Ladies,

 

Very sick but having to go to work. I haven't had an off day since I started at the new store. Maybe next week. I haven't had a chance to read the post.

 

Happy Holidays to all. I'll get back as soon as I can. I miss you guys.

[QueenOfCrochet]

You are too funny Julie. Putting projects on the backburner but you've started 900 more just in the last 2 days. That's what I love about ya. You keep me busy. I just got done telling Doa that I went from having one project that was half done to having that & 3 others plus you had one other swishing around.

[Cheeria]

Just wanted to say: Happy Holiday

[judianne]

Hi, Valerie...you'll be crashing after today, I'm sure....feel better:hug

 

Hi, Cheeria - enjoy your grandson's first Christmas!
