Finish By Christmas Along Christmas Gifts

[Tiggzie]

Those dishcloth flowerpots are gorgeous!

 

Oh...uh...*whistles* I haven't been here in a while. Long (looong) story. But I have oh so many things to make for Christmas that I think I'll be tagging along for this. The first project I want to get out of the way is an afghan for my grandmother. I've been crocheting for years but have never made one. There's a first time for everything, hmm?

Wow you are an inspiration. I hope I can get my stuff made soon. I keep getting side tracked by great patterns I find.

I went through a crochet spree for a couple weeks and now I am not sure what to make for the rest of my family members, I need to get these done by Nov. so I can get these mailed out for Christmas.

 

Sister ?

I have 2 sets of potholders done also, but not sure who they will go to yet.

Wow. It's nice to see people getting things done. I am slowly working through my list. I have a few things done, but I still don't know where to find a good slipper pattern. If anyone has one that is not too complicated, I would sure appreciate it if you would share it with me.

Keep those hooks moving!

Am I too late to join this CAL?

[bigfunfam]

I made a pair of slippers today. I highly reccomend this pattern: http://gourmetcrochet.com/index_files/Page5325.htm

 

It's a whimsical pattern, but super easy. I didn't have any gold colored yarn, so I just used what I had on hand. I hope to make the second pair tomorrow, if I can scrounge enough yarn scraps

 

I just have to buy some cotton to make 20 potholders using this pattern:

http://gourmetcrochet.com/index_files/Page1857.htm

 

Then I will be done....oh except for two wallets. But they just take an hour each.

Omg I just love those slippers. I had to get the pattern. My kids will just love these. Guess I got two more pairs of slippers lol......I should almost stop looking at the post here. I keep getting ideas for more stuff. Oh well its only October right? lots of time yet.

Everyone is making a ton of progress! I guess I'm going to have to quit my job so I can catch up and those slippers are a hoot!!

Are socks really hard to crochet? And are they super time consuming?

[Titus2woman]

I've been wanting the Gourmet Crochet Posy Toes slipper pattern~LOVE THE GOURMET CROCHET! *Especially* accessories. OKay and dolls. Well, and household items....

 

Anyway, I am working on a selfish project rather than Christmas~slippers FER ME! Sylver's Awesome Slipper pattern. Last winter I never got around to making any for me to wear, and as the mornings are cold I'm noticing bare feet aren't cuttin' it! AND I haven't gotten sock yarn yet... I can already tell these are gonna be AWESOME! But I can't seem to get the first sole right and have tried twice~LOL~I can do the second one though.... (((((HUGS))))) sandi

[bigfunfam]

I started a slipper for myself but had trouble with the top, lol! I want to make some for the hospital though, so I'll have to start again soon.

[Appliejuice]

It's never too late!

Looks like everyone is moving along I see. I haven't much been working on Christmas things. I did start on a hoodie sweater for my daughter so that is part of my list I know I will be done way before then but, wanted to step away from the 2 afghans I am working on.
