Cathedral Window-CAL

[Raccoon]

Wow, you are really moving along, April. I really like the barn red.

[Raccoon]

Here's progress in section 2. Grab your sunglasses, the colors really have a darker tone to them. Puff stitches were used instead of popcorn. http://flickr.com/photos/28208805@N06/2673759678/

Question--how is everyone doing this, like, in your lap or on a table or ?

[hseger]

Raccoon I was doing mine at my desk in my chair but have now moved to the couch so I don't have a bunch of it on me while working. It's getting heavy and hot even with the AC and a fan on me

[CrisKad]

I did mine in my lap mostly. It did get awfully hot.

I'm joining in. Yay! I'm on section 2 now and those triangles liked to killed me.

 

Anyway, I am doing mine w/ "I Love This Yarn" Black, Seaspray, and Light Blue. The seaspray has some white in it so I hope it looks ok later.

 

If I get so inclined, I would love to do one with white instead of black.

Well till I can get a better photo I'm going to put this one up of it.

 

Max my cat wouldn't get off of it and it's kind of dark but here it is.

Stunning Heather!

[CrisKad]

Heather, its gorgeous! I love it in the rich blues! Max obviously approves.

[Raccoon]

Heather it is beautiful!!

I'm having cat territory problems also. I have to cover it with fabric.

 

Welcome, sassykat, you are moving right along!

For those just joining in, don't forget to check out the tips and corrections compiled throughout this CAL. Look at post #1486 (page 149).

Re: Pyramids and Columns

 

On the row before the columns I'm not cutting the black, but leaving it to do the column with - One(16) less end to weave in.

 

I'm weaving ends as I go, otherwise I'd just be overwhelmed by all those ends, and would probably play on my ds instead of finishing it.

I just received notice from the state fair. I didn't make it in. They said it didn't lay flat. It laid flat for me.

 

I'm pretty sad about it.

I can't believe it!! They must not know how to spread it out! I would be sad too, I think it deserves to be in the fair. I'm sure no one else entered anything so beautiful!

That's terrible! It layed flat in your picture! I agree with Heather...they must not know how to lay it! I'm so sorry!

[badrhinogillett]

Thank you both. It's such a large piece, I wonder if they just opened it up and figured if it needed any manuevering to lay out that it must not lay flat.

 

I needed to adjust it when I laid it out, but I also do with a sheet that size. It was judged by professionals in the crochet and knitting.. so I don't know why they wouldn't have known that. I"m also wondering if they figured that the pentagons off the center were supposed to lay flat rather than being puffy.

 

I was so certain that it would at least qualify. I guess this is a lesson ni humility.

[hseger]

I'm sorry again. It's baffling.

[Raccoon]

March 6th, our daughter just told us, is when we are expecting our first grandchild. I'm going to be a gramma! How will I ever finish this when all I can think about are patterns for maternity tops, baby booties, bonnets and blankies?

[hseger]

I'm 4 rounds away from finishing the 2nd one! I can't believe it. now if I'll just work on it I have to finish it by friday that is my deadline for the row a day I've been doing on it.

[hseger]

Congrats Raccoon!! You can work on it a little at a time between baby things.

[CrisKad]

Congrats Racoon! Just work on it in between baby things. I always like having more than one WIP, so when I get tired of one, I can go to the other.

 

Heather, I'm SO excited for you!!!! I can't wait to see it.

[goofy]

Congrats racoon! Now someone else is in the same boat as I am. I think making baby things are so much more fun anyway. I have convinced myself I need to wait untill the ultrasound that tells us what it is before starting anything so that if it is a girl

I can go crazy making pink frilly things for it.

[sassykat0901]

congrats Racoon!! I love making baby things myself... Don't feel bad about the afghan. I have a whole pile of WIPs as well. I find some new pattern I like and off the current goes to the pile of despair...LOL. I think they've formed a support group in there.

[dizzy]

It has been awhile since I even checked this cal out. I have so many wips right now and 4 of them I have to get done by end of August, then I hope to get back to my two crw.

And I find even more patterns I want to. There are just so many of them- can I ever get them done:think Probably not.

I feel the same way about patterns. I see so many I want to make but would never have time to finish them all.
