I got 8 now. I got a bunch of stuff done while Time Warner was totally out of commission last night. :eek No tv, phone, or internet lets you crochet. :crocheting :hook

:cheerHi Everybody! I'm having a fantastic day! Since I've been feeling so poorly lately DH decided to take me to Michael's hoping it would make me feel better! I'd better get out of my crocheting slump because I now have almost $200 worth of yarn in my house! I was trying to be good. I only had a few skeins in the basket when he came over and asked me why it wasn't overflowing! That's when I noticed CSS on sale! Well, a girl has to do her best to make her husband happy! I couldn't have fit another skein in if I tried!. He even picked up a couple of books for me and surprised me with the latest Crochet World! I wonder if a test result came back that I don't know about?

Anyway, I got my act together enough to make 2 squares last night! (plus 2 I had promised for a comfortghan!), so my total is now at 32! Slow, but sure, I'm getting there! Have a great evening everyone! I've got a lot of to do!

day 13

I'm thinking that he must want to buy some new toy for himself soon! :lol

It's amazing what we get done when there's now tv! :lol BTW, how are you feeling? Better, I hope! :hug

I am better. Just waiting for the pain to come back but it hasn't. :clap Trying to hope that it won't until after Jan when my son gets his endoscopy.

Jessica, I agree it is great that you are doing better, I hope the pain stays gone until after the holidays and they can do something to make it go permanently.

Ann, your squares are great, I love the heart and I also plan on making some in the surf and turf colors.

I am trying to get a square done each day, but that is as far as I can go.

I did one for Charity Blitz and one for a comfortghan also as I am trying to help those that help me. I haven't been able to do any rectangles as I need to concentrate on squares here and that is what is my goal for this month.

christinaparrish · October 15, 2008

Just wanted to stop in, say hi. Everyone is doing great. In between packing I was able to get 2 more done.

jimbo · October 15, 2008

AMAZIN, YOU GUYS ARE JUST AMAZIN!!

Been busy getting ready for the auction... so many incredible things donated by you guys that we're looking to stock the Seattle meeting in March and maybe have leftovers for the auction here next year.

Just absolutely AMAZIN!!!

Thank YOU!!

Jimbo

Pretty Patchwork from Carol Alexanders' "101 Granny Squares"

it has been a POD on Annies' Attic but not recently that i remember!

angelfire · October 15, 2008

Dragonpuck, those are great squares,

I have started doing some Daisy squares with crayon varigated and then using primary colors on the outside round, hubby thinks they look like building blocks and he thinks I need to make an entire afghan, I told him I might get 5 done by the end and that I would buy some more yarn and get enough done for an afghan before sending.

Beautiful squares Lynn! Now I have to look for that pattern, too. :lol

Bonnie, I think I have that yarn. Is it RH Mexicana? If so, I can make some daisys too. I was thinking of it anyway (you must be a telepath) :lol . Are you using a white background? I'll start on them today. :yes :clap

yes using a white background. :c9

Cherri · October 15, 2008

yes using a white background.

I have another question. :blush Are you using all the different primary colors for the centers too, or just yellow? I just want mine to go well with yours so I want to make sure to get them right. :yes This is so much fun! :jumpyay

it's always amazing to me how different things look when done in different colors--- i never knew it was a freebee- i got the POD and then found the book at the thrift store- the afghan( in the book) and pattern are named differently which may be why

never the less it is GREAT for contrasting solids - i did make a baby blanket out of a varigated and white- it gets peaks and valleys when it gets bigger
