Are We doing anything for Valentine's Day CAL

Granny Square · January 29, 2009

I like your doily!! :heart

I've been trying to weave the paper hearts that Darski linked above...I have to give credit to the folks that can snip and weave some of the complex patterns (not just straight lines), it is not as easy as it looks! The cuts have to be measured so precisely. What is very cool is that it opens up to sort of a cup (I thought they would be woven into 1 piece). They might make a neat party favor, you could stick a couple of candies inside.

Here is the link to RoseRed's latest addition to our crochet happiness

http://inspiredcrochetdesign.blogspot.com/

It is a lovely coaster/motif pattern.

This box of chocolates look too good! Yum.

I don't have lustersheen in my area, but I cold make less chocolates in yarn or even use floss...

darski · January 30, 2009

I remember that one. It is so neat. but a little too fiddly for me. :sigh

I was looking through this page of patterns and came across a valentine hat.http://my.opera.com/north_star/blog/

have to scroll down

Annies' attic free pattern has a heart doily today (2-2-09). Looks like lots of picots and the hearts are real small, but it is pretty.

Momcrochets · February 2, 2009

I was about to say the same thing, Debbie-A1! It's very pretty.

Had a thought--is this the same one that Grannysquare (or was it someone else) made some adaptations to last year?

It's a pretty pattern...(I missed it if they posted it before, glad I caught it)

Yup, that's the pattern, and it was me! Darski remarked she didn't like the gappiness, so I took it as a challenge and closed up the gaps a bit. :hook edit - pic of my adaptation on post 171.

There was another doily that I "borrowed" the middle of, then (after a few tries) managed to repeat rows of "just hearts" a few times - see posts 27 & 40.

That is so neat that you can do that! :c9 I loved your adaptation last year, and I still do! There's a lot of things I can do with thread and with yarn, but creating doilies, or re-creating and adapting them, still doesn't seem to be one of them!! :think

I admire you, and all doily designers! :clap :hook (maybe someday I'll get the hang of it, not just the theory:P)

Granny Square · February 5, 2009

Thanks! :2blush I'm more of a 'fiddler' than a designer, I can copy and modify things without a pattern but I'm not good at coming up with things from scratch. And, there's a lot of frogging involved! :frog

darski · February 7, 2009

Another new pattern for us to consider

Granny Square · February 7, 2009

Those are a really nice heart shape! You could add a drop of scented oil to the stuffing to make a sachet. Or make a few in shades of red, white, pink and put them in a glass bowl for a Valentine centerpiece. Thanks for the link :manyheart

Nikka_hotpinkpixy · February 7, 2009

well whatever we do we have to figure it out pretty soon or valentines day is going to come and go and we're still going to be scratching our heads lol

For this CAL we just make something heart like and go with whatever strikes our fancy. It is just an opportunity to review all the Heart patterns that are out there for us to try.

As a for instance... This new pattern has been posed in Free Original patterns here at the Ville.

Yay! I'd like to join in too. I have this booklet, and in it is a heart trim. I'm going to make it and sew it onto a hand towel. Really I just like the picture in the booklet, so the bathroom is getting a new towel for Valentines. Just hope I get done in time.....eek!

heart · February 8, 2009

Granny Square..........", it is a Trish Kristoffersen pattern from a now-defunct website."

OH!!!!!!!!! Wow! I love this! You do beautiful work!

Granny Square · February 8, 2009

Thanks Sarah! So do you, I peeked at your photos (a lot of Valentine themed things there!) :heart

Lots of pretty things in that edging book :yes

I really like that pink heart. Well the others are nice too but that pink one just really grabbed my attention. :manyheart

Thanks for telling us about that one. I love Cupcake's work.

heart · February 9, 2009

Okie dokie... Here's my Heart trim Valentines hand towel. The booklet is here. But there is a printing error. The pattern for this trim is listed on the page before the actual picture. The page with the picture has a different pattern listed with it. So if you have this booklet, it's on the page before the pic.

heart · February 9, 2009

Here are the pictures. I think this can be improved if any of you want to try it.

Oh my goodness!! Wow! This is great! I love it. You have done a beautifil job.

This is just too, too pretty. The red hearts just really call my name. Great work!

About Cupcake's heart pattern... I just did it in doubled cotton (handicrafter) and it is a great pattern. Very nice shape.

Debbi-a1 · February 13, 2009

I was going to do an Ami heart, but just made the heart. I wasn't sure if I liked it too much and then decided I didn't want to. So now it's just a puffy heart.

Here it is on my Sweetheart ripple I'm still working on...
