[dilyca2006]

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

well, of course!

[dilyca2006]

i am getting closer to being done. I just had to frogg the beginning of the last set of pineapples because I only made 14 trebles instead of 15. Have almost gone through 2 7oz skeins of my RH WW. I am using a size K hook and I really like the look of it.

[_Stacy_]

Cool! I can't wait to see it.

I am working on the bottoms of my pineapples. Have 2 finished but I think I will run out of yarn by either the last one, or the border. I don't want to buy another skein though because I am really tired of this color! LoL I wish there was a place here that sells the 3-oz skeins. Oh, well.

[dilyca2006]

I am not supposed to be working on it yet. I have 3 projects sitting next to my chair in a bin that I am working on for Christmas, plus, one hidden in the basement that is for DH. Well, there are actually 4 sitting next to my chair counting this one!!. DH did not know about it till he walked out into the living room last night while I was working on it. I only work on it at night after he goes to bed. I thought he was asleep!! Oops. I guess he wasen't asleep after all!!!

[_Stacy_]

I hear that! Thankfully this is one of my Christmas projects so it is cool for me to work on it now. But when dh sees me doing something that he *knows* is not for Christmas, he 'casually' asks, "So, who's that for?" He doesn't really care, as long as I finish it and it's not just lying around the living room in a pile.

Just went back and got another skein (ran out on the last pineapple) so I will be finishing this one hopefully tonight. I wish I could figure out what color my other one is so I can finish it, too, but I think I will have to find something else to make for dh's aunt.

[dilyca2006]

I can't get page 8 of this thread opened for some reason.

DH really dosen't care either. He just thinks I get to much going. With work, our DS and my folks I think he thinks I stretch myself a bit much when I have more then a couple of projects going.

I just got done with the first of the last 5 pineapples and I have a question. I really have not read the border very well, but, my end shell is just kinda hanging there. Will it get attached better when I do the border??

[dilyca2006]

I got 3 of the last 5 pineapples done tonight. Think I will go to bed so that I can get stuff that is not crochet done tomorrow!!!!LOL

I also think I have answered my own question from my last post

Have a nice night.

[_Stacy_]

Yes, it will get worked in with the border. On my last one, I only did the first round because the picots were too pokey for my liking.

I really need to get one the ball and finish this one. I still have one more to make but I'm really thinking it will have to use up something from my stash as opposed to buying yet another skein of this color.

[dilyca2006]

mine might be done by the end of this week. Thaks for letting me know that portion will get added in during the border.

That is what I was trying to do with this one. Use something up that is in my stash!!

[_Stacy_]

Hope you guys printed out your copies and have them in a safe place- I just found out that the site where this pattern was has been taken down!

[dilyca2006]

Really. Glad I got in and got it when I did!!!!

[dilyca2006]

I have a question and if someone could maybe show me a close up of their work at this point.

I am getting ready to do the border. the first row says, after the beginning couple of shells to..... Ch 3, skip 1 row, shell under 1st bar of next shell. repeat from * 16 more times...... What is this meaning to "shell under 1st bar"? I have never seen that term before and I am a bit confused with it.

[SlowCrocheter]

OH shoot. I was going to do this but don't have a printer. Now the pattern is gone so well not be able too.

I love all the finished ones I have seen you all have done a great job.

I'm so bad at explaining things, but hopefully I can help. You know how when you turned the work, you had to "ch-3, dc, ch-2, 2 dc" to finish the first shell? Well for the border you would make a shell in the first ch-3. Let me know if that helps. I don't have a finished one, as I sent my first one to a swap partner, but I do have mine finished without the border and could make a little diagram.

[dilyca2006]

That makes perfect sense!!! You did a wonderful job of explaining this. I will try it that way and see what it does.

I noticed as I was putting mine up for the night that I finished my last 2 pineapples with a J hook and I made the rest of it with a K hook. As long as I don't tell anyone no one will know I don't think!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

[dilyca2006]

Well. I am almost done. It is sad that she had to take down her patterns.

I don't know that I will be doing the picots around the end as I am not sure I like how they look. So. I just need to finish off, tuck ends, take a picture and find it a home.

[_Stacy_]

I didn't do the picot row to my first one. I tried it out for about a foot then tried on the shawl and it was very pokey. So I just did the first round and left it at that. Ok, now I am really going to finish all of my Christmas stuff!

[dilyca2006]

I am sure that if I were making the doily to go on the back of the chair I would not mind doing the picots. It's settled. No picots on this shawl. Will have to finish off now that I have made that decision and take a pic soon!!!
