Cathedral Window-CAL

[amdm]

Great news! Can't wait to see the pics.

[Bookchick29]

Way to go! I can't wait to see the pictures.

 

I can finally get back to working on this now that Christmas presents are finished.

[tbird]

Congrats!

 

I'm also hoping to get back to mine now, since the holidays (or more importantly, the flurry of holiday gift making) are now past. Looking forward to the photos.

 

cheers - tbird

Finally able to get the picture from the cell phone to the 'puter. Unfortunately, the clarity of the picture as taken from the cell phone isn't nearly as good as the clarity from my camera (which I found ten minutes after my in-laws left for Tennessee). But this will have to do.

 

I guess I'm hooked on this. I'm making another one..this one for DH. Since I don't want him to know about this, I'm limited to working on this at work and when he's not home. So I gave myself a finishing time of our anniversary...which is in November.

Wow that turned out really pretty Lady...i need to dig mine out and work on it again...ive only got about 40% more to do on it.What colors are you going to use on the next one??

[JulieKay]

Lady

Very beautiful and what a lot of work ! I bet you are so proud to have finished it .

[darski]

Lady that is just wonderful. Your colours are really pretty.

 

I would like to know what you are going to use next time too.

 

I still love this and haven't given up on it.

[Fidgement]

Way to go Lady! You were using thread if memory serves me right ! Mine is still waiting for me to get back to it, but its not forgotten. That turned out really beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

 

[LadyBeBop]

Thanks for the good word, y'all.

 

A few things.

 

1) My first was done in simple Red Heart Super Saver. Bernet and Gemstone.

 

2) I'm using Super Saver for this one as well. Sunshine Print for the light varigated and Candy Print for the dark varigated.

 

I'm allowing a lot of time for this. I'll have a lot of projects going at the same time. I'm also doing the yo-yo afghan, and I'm trying my hand at the amigurimi CAL as well. Years ago, I've made stuffed animals in a style similar to amigurimi. I guess I was amigurmi when amigurmi wasn't cool.

Lady your cathedral is beautiful, I really like the colors. I have this pattern, one of these days I will make one of these.

[tbird]

Yep, it's lovely.

 

Mine's "done" enough to use as a lap throw, but I still want to do a couple of rounds of embellishments around the outside. But I've gotten kinda distracted. Must ... get ... back ... to ... window ...

You read my mind Tina.

 

This is timely because it does call me back to finish this thing

[Shaylen]

Ok you talked me into it...ive dug it out and am now staring at it thinking to myself what were you thinking

 

I will put away the Grandmas flower garden and end this monster.Yep...i will do it this time...maybe.....

[QueenOfCrochet]

Lady~Yous ghan is gorgeous.

I to will do this ghan someday.

[leta]

I dug this afghan out again after the holidays and am now on Second Section Rnd 19. I see alot of ends coming, any suggestions how to avoid this? All you ladies that have finished this may have a better way or easier way to do the next steps.

Thanks for your input.

[darski]

I have to find a whole new way to do that because my heptagons are 2inches too small at this point.

[leta]

The only thing I can think of , is to wind up 16 seperate balls of the black and use each in order as they come for the 16-5dc black stitches. That way I don't have to cut etc. I am already doing this with the light varigated yarn. Any thoughts?

Leta

[Shaylen]

I carry the yarn behind the other stitches...so much easer for me.

 

Darski

Sorry you are having problems...did you do the puffs??I didn't and it made a big difference in how they turned out,i found that the whole thing went together better then if i had done the puffs.I also used the same size hook through it all.

 

I will try to get a photo up later tonight so you can see what i have so far.

[tbird]

As much as I could, I worked over the ends as I moved onto the next sections, if you see what I mean...it was kind of a pain, but I found that anything else made the sections too bulky.

[MsSuzKelly]

I hope that Annie's will re-release this leaflet this year. I read somewhere that it might be considered.....oh one can only HOPE.......

 

Don't know if I could actually make this, but I sure would like to try. It's gorgeous and my hats off to all of you that have made it or are in the process of making it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of this pattern? I would really LOVE to join the CAL. 'Course, I may be biting off more than I can chew. I always seem to pick the projects that are huge and a bit beyond my skill level.

The pattern is in the booklet Annie's Attic Award-Winning Afghans which is now out of print. Occasionally someone will sell the booklet on Ebay. I've seen Ebay bids go as high as $75. Good luck in your search.

[likeiceiscold]

Thanks Moonspinners. I've been looking for the booklet, but have had no luck finding it yet. I'm not sure I can afford that price for it anyway. Until then I guess I'll just drool over everyone else's projects.

I found this when looking on E-Bay. I remember last year this book was selling for $75 and now there are two listed for under $13.00.

Rest assured..... they will go much higher by the time the auctions end. I have the book but I've become somewhat of a professional watcher of this pattern book .... just to see what it continues to go for.
