International Crochet Day!

[PBLKNP]

So, how is everyone spending International Crochet Day today?

 

I haven't decided whether I want to go sit out somewhere and crochet in public, or if I want to burn up gas and go visit AC Moore...

[angelfire]

Ok burn up some gas and go crochet at AC MOORE:lol

I am crocheting, need to stay home as I spent too much last night on a new washer. I have plenty to do though, lots of charity squares and rectangles.

Shame on me, I almost forgot! Thank you for the reminder I did get alittle crochet in this morning and finished my Boteh scarf. I was just telling Hubby that I had nothing on my hook:( Guess I will dive in and start a new project tonight to work on over the rainy weekend. Now I just have to decide which one it will be! Happy International Crochet Day Everyone!

I'm crocheting at home...didn't know it was Crochet Day, but most days are crochet days for me!

 

I am currently working on the lovely Yuletide Centerpiece that Kathy designed, as well as testing a pattern for her.

I just had 3 crochet classes today at Amber's school. About 5 of the kids really picked up on it and I think we'll be having a weekly class friday afternoons.

All I have done is my usual crocheting at home the weather is foul so there was no chance going and sitting out anywhere public.

I'm going to finish up a project linus blanket that has been giving me fits. Then I think that I might go looking for new yarn.

I'm going to crochet at lunch today. I usually do. Maybe I'll sit in the lobby instead of by the chairs by the window (where others sit too but not as open to the public or other employees, sometimes).

[jennianydots]

I feel so ashamed that I didn't know about this! I guess it's a good thing I am going to finish up a project tonight.

I didn't realize it was International Crochet Day. Thank you for the reminder.

I will be crocheting at home this eveing. Too many interruptions as work.

Looking forward to relaxing and working on my afghan.

wow, i did not know there was an international crochet day!!

 

could somebody tell me more, who invented it, do you "celebrate" that day in a special way??

[CrisKad]

I crocheted on the subway!

[Feederofthepack]

I can't do much today. But I spent 51/2 hours at the vet hospital yesterday crocheting madly! And tomorrow My friend and I are doing lunch and a LYS crawl!

[pasteeater]

Right now? I'm cleaning house. I've been sick for about a week and it seems I'm the only one who knows how to turn on the washing machine or wash dishes lol!

 

Tonight though, I'll probably make some Amis.

I have spent International Crochet Day crocheting here at my desk for a good part of the day, and in honor of the day, I went pattern-book shopping at Amazon. I managed to snag a good deal. I'm finally getting Stitch 'n Bitch, and I'm also getting The Encyclopedia of Crochet Techniques - for only £16.98 (FREE shipping!).

 

I was feeling too yucky (dental problems + getting a cold = YUCK) to want to go out anywhere, but I managed to have a little fun all by my lonesome.

[idagammy]

I spent part of the day making hats that will go to a local charity.

[beth_in_indy]

Had a doctors appointment this morning, so I took a prayer shawl to work on (seemed appropriate). A great doctor, but when she saw me working on the shawl she said " oh how cool, you know how to knit". Oh well, it was a good checkup anyway :-) .

 

And like someone else said, every day is a crochet day for me! Beth

[Hookerangel]

Unfortunately didnt get ANY crocheting done today on International Crochet day cos today is my birthday. So went to work - then after work went to the theatre to see the 'Rat Pack' - then went for a meal - and not long home and havin a family party. Will try to make up for it tomorrow when I accompany my daughters to the hairdressers for 'hair trials' for the wedding. I will crochet while I watch and wait!

[Lady_of_Roses]

I went out and had coffee with a 'viller and had a nice morning with her. :manyheart

[MonkeeGroupies]

Oops, I forgot all about it Today was also The Monkees' 42nd anniversary, so I spent all day playing the CDs in my classroom and bugging my coworkers. After work, I picked up a cake and brought it home, my family each had some while watching Monkees DVDs Tomorrow, I'll make up for it by taking my yarn shopping with me.

Celebrated by going to Michael's. Found some Vanna baby yarn on sale. Picked up a few skeins of cotton for some dishcloths. And all of that with a 25% off total purchase coupon. :cheer:cheer

 

Plan on doing some crocheting this weekend -- extending the celebration -- on a couple of scarves for the Special Olympics.
