Whip the WIPs in 2009 !!! - Row A Day CAL

[ldyer1]

I would give her hugs but she is inside the couch right now, lol, yes I said INSIDE the couch. Maybe if she hears me sniffling she will come out to give me hugs....

[Krystal16]

Misty is probably a little mad that she's turned from CAT to guinea pig. An ear infection should clear up soon, hope it goes away on its own without surgery.

I am on row 94 on my butterfly afghan

[Krystal16]

I would love to join as I have a few projects going on right now. I am around 60% done with my butterfly afghan. I will be starting a Tow Mater ghan soon, I am working on a sun set sunrise ghan which is about 30% done. I will also be doing a pink and black Elvis ghan for myself. I had recently begone the Elvis ghan in black and blue but the blue made the black look brown and I did not like it so I frogged the whole thing..ugh. But now it will be done in my fave colors. I will keep everyone posted on my work on all these....

 

Hello there! Do you have a name you'd like us to call you by?

 

 

I am on row 94 on my butterfly afghan

 

How many rows total does your butterfly afghan have? How many rows/day do you want to do? As soon as I have this information, I can update the progress bar on the first page, as well as put you in the daily roll call.

 

I have updated the progress bars for everyone else!

 

[tracysthings]

Wow, Krystal, you are doing loads today!

I have done my 4 squares for the day and they have been stitched together.

[alwayscrafting]

Poor Misty...don't you just hate it when the ail?

[goofy]

Hello, didn't get much done over the weekend as I worked and had company. i am going to give it a good effort to get cought up on the baby blanket over the next two days. I just want to get it done. The crw won't be a problem to catch up.

[loopy1]

Jeannie, have you really finished all those items listed in your siggy? No wonder you're not reading too many books.

 

Hi Sherri and Jeff!

 

Oh, Roxy, don't you just hate it when that happens? Hope the problem's not too far back. I get so excited :cheerwhen the rows on my shawl come out right.

 

Laura, hoping your kitty gets well very soon. Pets can be so expensive to take care of, but you'll get there.

 

I will be starting a Tow Mater ghan soon.

Where's a Tow Mater ghan? I need a couple of patterns for ghans for my 2 grandkids' younger half brothers. They would probably love Tow Mater!

 

Hey Brenda...watch out, Krystal gets us mixed up. Why? I have no idea. Neither does she.

[loopy1]

Oh, Mrs. K! This cal has me thinking I can move mountains to get projects done. I started a knitted swatch for gauge for a...shh--sweater for Robert--shh. Then I just heard about a Tow Mater ghan. Hope there's a pattern for it cause you know I can't graph and stuff like that.

 

Anyway, I did THREE rows on the shawl and am working on a square right now. Trying to find something different from all the others I have made. I'm so tired of Circle of Friends, Spring Breeze, even your gorgeous Eternity Squared, and I don't seem to want to repeat any of the squares I've made from 200 Blocks. You got any new ones? Anybody?

 

Found some very pretty Priscilla Hewitt's 7" patterns (check out Nordic Star and Carousel) but they don't work out to 8" with an I hook for the Traveling Hook squares. So, I've been checking out some 6" ones.

[ldyer1]

Krystal I am checking in for today, tomorrow, and wednesday. Those are long work days, plus its my last week of fixing up my thesis type thing for my masters, so I did it early. Is that ok? Or do you want me to check in each day as if I just did it lol.

[sewnsew]

I finished up my square for today I was worried that sucker wouldn't get done today but I finally got it finished and it's with it's little buddies now.

[hseger]

K- I got my motif 7 for today done.

:rofl Guess what I just did? I went to update my grid and was baffled when I couldn't find the column with Brenda's Shawl!!!! Then I realized I messed you two up AGAIN!!!

 

As for the squares working out to 8", add a round of sc, hdc or dc to make it up to 8", that's what I do. SC will add 1/2", hdc about 3/4" and dc about 1" to the width. At least, in my world it does.

I've got you taken care of. No need to report until the next day you are called on the roll call!

I have been working on extra rows on my bear claw. As it turns out, I guess I cast on too tightly, so the bottom is a little restricted. Good thing it's for me and I don't care about those things. :no

[TMKA]

Amber - YES!!! It does work better that way! In fact, I thought you disappeared and had removed you from my list. I'm a needy CAL moderator... if you don't talk to me once in a while (like every day!), I think you've forgotten me!

 

I swear, I'm in it for the long haul, but I've got a rather sketchy internet connection. I'll try to post no more infrequently than every other day, I promise!

 

I got another one more row down yesterday night/stupid ealry this morning and then one later on today. I think I should be at least one row ahead, which is good, 'cause I've got a few granny squares I need to knock out tomorrow, which might take all my crochet time!

[1Buttercup]

I was a bad bad girl today and didn't do any rows on my baby ghan so I'll be sure to do two tomorrow.

 

Now, instead of working on that I couldn't help myself but to start a little crocheted Duck in the same pattern book. I know, naughty naughty but it was calling to me .. quack quack quack It's almost done and is really cute, I've never made anything but afghans before and this is going with the baby ghan I'm currently doing so I guess I could say it's part of the same project

 

Oh, I also went out yarn shopping today because I had to get fiber fill for the duck So, I got one bag of fiber fill, 1 yard of ribbon for the ducks neck and 15 skeins of yarn

[Aussie]

Cindy great shopping there. 15 skeins of yarn is a lot, is it for anything in particular or did you just like it.

 

Jeannie its great to see you crocheting away and you sound excited about it.

 

Krystal I have done S4 and 5 on the quilts.

 

Im doing the squares at lunch time so the girls dont see me making the squares.

[krazy-kitty]

Gonna try and sort out the stitch problem later, need to get some sleep 1st.

[econ-nerd]

Just a quick note as I head out the door for work - I FINISHED the pink baby shells last night and did three more rows on the peach baby shells Pictures coming later (I likely won't get the pictures done until tomorrow - I won't be home much til 9pm tonight). I will also be slow on the peach shells for a few days since I am making up a quick charity-type balnket. A teenage girl at our church is going in for tests todayand will be indergoing heart surgery soon and the ladies are getting a care package together for her. I am making a smallish throw (am making the bubbles baby blanket in a bigger size) and it needs to be done for the 27th.

 

Later girls

[Aussie]

Krystal I did mine already.

 

I have half a square done ready for tomorrow. Im in front for a change. Doing these 2 squares is just a nice thing to do in my lunch hour, with the squares being 3 rows each I just get them done in time. This way the girls dont see what Im making either and I will use my fridays off to put it together. What a surprise it will be.

[1Buttercup]

Cindy great shopping there. 15 skeins of yarn is a lot, is it for anything in particular or did you just like it.

 

Wendy, it's for another "blue star" afghan. Of course, I still have to finish the first one I started but now that I have the pattern corrections hopefully it won't be a problem.

[QueenOfCrochet]

I did 1 square on the tetris & 2 rows on the navajo.

Of course you're in front and are half a square ahead for tomorrow. It's almost tomorrow now . Just teasing ya.

 

Is the butterfly ghan from a Leisure Arts book called "Perfect Patches" with a sailboat ghan on the front cover and the butterfly ghan on the back cover? Is it made like Cara's quilts? Those will be wonderful surprises for your girls. Now I'm thinking about a ghan for my DD's son who'll be 7 by Christmas.

[goofy]

Hello everyone. It seems we are all staying close to on schedule.

I decided to count my rows to see how many rows I needed to do to get back on schedule and realized that I am on row 78!! so Krystal you can update my info. and progress bar. With that being said I am going to work on catching up on my crw...thats three rows today.

[SheffnJerri]

Morning room. Isn't it great that Krystal has a system to keep us on track? It's like flylady for crochet.

 

107 & 108 are done
