Groove-Along

[Aussie]

Pam it looks great, love the colors, are you making it for yourself.

[Misa]

Looks great Pam!

[goaliemom33]

Yes, it is for me. It is the first afghan that I have made that I will get to keep.

Hey, I've been a lurker for sometime now. I just wanted to let you all know that I was able to purchase the Spring 2006 Interweave Crochet from BumbleBee Yarns at www.bumblebeeyarns.com. Great service. Also, I must tell you that I have all my squares done for the circle to square afghan from the Lion Brand website. Hopefully, I'll get that done this weekend. Then, I have to make my future grandson his afghan (the Sock Monkey one) and then I'm already lining up my yarn for the Babette. I can hardly wait. Anyway, Can I officially say I'm in on this Groove Along. Oh, and I've already got all the squares made for a granny square tote bag. Just need to get it finished also!!

all

 

i finally finished my babette

 

BUT i didnt like the way it was turing out ....my joining was yucky

All is not lost though i spoke to my sister a few days ago and she was getting a male and female kitten ...so since my babette is mainly girly colours i have made it in to a blanket its so cute and i made a mouse to go with it

and i had another manly colour blanket i wasnt happy with and it became a UFO so i wipped it out and finished off the border and now the male kitten has a blanket too

Clare I love all 3 of your projects and I like how you made them into boy and girl blankies. The puddytats will love them.

 

Kaye welcome to the group and wow you are certainly going to be busy with loads of projects.

[judianne]

Creative use of something you might have just frogged!!

 

My DS may be getting another cat from the ASPCA...so I may find a use for my scraps. She'll need a blankie like the one I made the first one!

 

***Also - if you have old blankets, towels, etc, check with your local vet or shelter. They can always use them. Just brought a batch to my vet the other day - you would have thought I'd given her gold!

[JulieKay]

Crissie-glad you were able to find all the yarn you needed !

 

Pam- lookin good !

 

Welcome, Kaye- we'd love to have you join us .

 

Clare- good idea, to donate your blankies to the pets. I know lots of places like that are always asking for supplies, so they will be appreciated .

[HappyBunny]

Pam, I love,love,love those colors!!

 

Hi Kaye, I'm doing the Circle in Square too! (slowly but I am making it....honest...)

Morning all,

 

Pam, I like your colors. Will check in again later.

[Aussie]

Morning everyone, Have you all had your groove on today. How are you all going with your projects.

[luvtocrochet757]

Hi Wendy,

 

I got my groove on by crocheting several squares before going to work. I'm going to try to finish one more before going to bed. I have to open tomorrow morning.

[Aussie]

Valerie way to go.

[kkatiez]

Thanks everyone for welcoming me aboard. I've checked the 'Ville daily for a long time, but have never interacted. I'm glad I started this and can't wait to see everyone's work!!

 

Kaye

[JulieKay]

Kaye-we are honored that you decided to jump in here and get your feet wet -- may I just warn you that these CAL's are highly addicting ?

You may never escape now!

[Debbi-a1]

Pam that is looking good!

Clare, love those blankets. I made a doll blanket for a friends daugher (with a doll and several clothes) and the blanket ended up being the cat blanket, which is fine, I love animals too.

 

Babettes, I finished a 12 round square to see what it was like and several 4 round ones. (on my blog if you want to see them.) I also started putting together some squares and messed up on one (Clare, my joining is also yuky) so I have to frog and put that one back on:blush and another one on. When I'm done with those, I'll have several together and post a picture on this CAL.

This is what was in a newsletter I just got!

[Aussie]

Judy thats great isnt it, its about time you can buy that pattern on its own without having to try and get hold of the magazine.

[judianne]

I already have the magazine...but it has some other great stuff in it, too.

[Aussie]

Yeah I have the magazine now too. It does have some nice things in there. I like the small totes and the sweetpea cardigan is cute. It has a lot of wearables which I wont make. Maybe one day I will try a wearable but I much prefer making afghans, totes and pillows.

[Debbi-a1]

I actually got the magazine for other things besides the Babette. I liked the poncho on the cover (still do). I decided to make the Babette after seeing them recently.

 

I am glad it's available online. I was afriad this would end up like the Cathedral Window pattern for $50 on ebay:no.

Debbi

[Aussie]

Deb dont you think that was outrageous what they were selling the Cathedral pattern for on ebay. I hate it when people do that, they know that you cant get the pattern anymore so they put a ridiculous price on it.

[LadiBug329]

What magazine do you all get??

[econ-nerd]

After being away for almost two weeks it's time to get back to my Babette (and I am awefully tempted with the drum afghan too). I hope to get back to crocheting after I get some extra rest after holidays and also with getting back into the swing of teaching two new classes... This weekend I have high hopes of getting some work (crocheting I mean) done!

 

The pictures posted over the past while are great - there are some beautiful blankies posted I think I may keep my Babette at work. I need some color in my office.
