[QueenOfCrochet]

Tabitha....

 

ooooooooo you in trouble!!!!!!!!!!! hehee

 

I know, hide me....:lurk

[crashcat07]

i'll say I havent seen you?

[Krystal16]

OK.. so I've got everyone updated.

 

Cindy - the reason your name hasn't been on was because you were very far ahead of your row a day and I didn't know if you wanted me to bump you up.

 

Everyone - I will automatically bump you up the extra days if you get ahead from now on.

 

If you are behind and want me to push you back, just let me know. Otherwise, I'll just keep posting the row you're supposed to be at.

Oh okay, sorry about that. Thanks Krystal. I'll get going on the basket weave:hook

[TMKA]

Done through row 14, and I have to say, I'm really unimpressed with what I've got so far. Not sure if it's me or if I'm just not loving this pattern. I'm going to give it a few more days before I scrap the whole stinkin' thing.

I have done my 4 for the day and all saltines are stitched together so far.

Tracy, how do you get the saltines stitched together as you go without having tons of more loose ends? Probably a dumb question.

 

I wanna work on We're All God's Children quiltghan and I'd like to stitch 'em together as I go. The background of it is buff (the majority of the saltines) so I would think I could begin stitching those together with buff from a new skein and just not cut the yarn until I have to. Like when I begin saltines in other colors. Am I making any sense?

[1Buttercup]

Can someone tell a clueless newby what a saltine is?

[loopy1]

K, still haven't talked to my daughter so it may be awhile before a choice is made for my darling grandson's ghan. She is one busy woman even when it's not tax season.

I once had the same question and started calling them crackers . A saltine is a 2-1/2 inch granny square. You put them all together to make beautiful crocheted quilts. Our own Misa aka Cara of Happy Yellow House has very beautiful designs. Amazing how they all look like beautiful quilts.

On my page here, her ad is at the top.

[tracysthings]

Jeannie, I am making the Bus cuddle, so I have a rows of the same colour to put together at the moment, no need to be changing joining yarn. I did the first row (19 saltines) and when I started working on the next row I started joining them together. Confused yet? Here is a picture I took today to try to explain how I am doing mine at the moment. I am on the third row now.

 

 

 

I looked at the Gods Children ghan, I think the best way for that one might be to break it down into 5x5 or 6x6 saltines and put those 25 or 36 together and then move onto the next block?

[mom2lanienryn]

Hi, I'm Kristen and I think this is a great idea!! I only just found this forum and this will be my first CAL...I may actually get my projects done on time . I'm going to start 2 afghans. The first is a crochet pattern and I have to make 111 full squares, 16 half squares and add fringe. The second is a knit pattern and I have to make 35 squares and add a border. I'm not sure how much I'll have to do each day to get them done in time so I may need some help figuring that out.

[sewnsew]

Krystal I finished up my square for today.

[alwayscrafting]

Hi Kristen...this is a good CAL.

 

Krystal don't get out the bat yet. I am 3 days behind now, but I will catch up the next day or two!!! Promise!!!

[econ-nerd]

[krazy-kitty]

Ahh, got it, thanks!! I have actually looked at her site several times. Those ghans are gorgeous, maybe someday I'll have the guts to try one.

[QueenOfCrochet]

My square & row are done for today.

[tracysthings]

My rows and squares are done for the day. I had to frog the square and catch up, too. But I have done until row 15 now.

[Krystal16]

Kristen - I have you all filled in to do a square a day on the crochet, and then a square every other day on the knit. You'll be done mid-October. I gave you extra time for those knit squares, because knitting sure takes ME longer! LOL!

 

I have everyone else marked down.

[cheerios1004]

I am on row 202 today!!!! I am almost there....yay!!!!

[cheerios1004]

I had two more seizures yesterday. I ended up getting sick and when I woke this morning I had a awful headache and all my muscles hurt to bad. I am feeling much better now though. Hopefully no more seizers.....they hurt lol.

[Krystal16]

Cheerios - I hope that your seizures subside and go away for a while and give you rest.
