Well, I have managed to finish one and 1/2 skeins of country blue yarn on Ms Darski's Church on Sunday outfit. I would like to say :ty :ty to Darski for sharing such a cute pattern. Now I altered it a bit here and there to make it as an outfit for a 3 to 6 month baby. And I will buy a shirt, but I made the tie in Red. I was planning on putting a pocket in the jacket, but I plum forgot and I am not going to undo it at this point. I have only the hat to finish and the shoes. But this really came out cute. So again Darski Thank you for sharing such a cute outfit for a boy they are so rare to find.

 

 

Why thank you. I would love to see a pic if you can :dreaming.

Wow! Knitting takes way less yarn than Crocheting. I'm working on a little baby sweater and I'm about halfway done with the top and I've only used half a skein so far. The yarn just doesn't go as fast as with crocheting. I sure hope that I place in the positives this week. After the last few weeks, I need a positive ending.

I am getting close to finishing a 2nd skein after I finished one yesterday. Boy it sure takes a lot of crocheting to get to the end of a pounder :rofl

 

@ Linda. it takes 30% more yarn to crochet than to knit ... generally speaking. They actually tested this so we could know fer shure. :wlol

Well I still have to finish the shoes, I am going to try and get that done today. And I am going to make a blanket in the same colors as the outfit. More than likely just a giant granny square. I haven't really decided yet, but here are the pictures of Ms. Darski's Church on Sunday outfit that is a free pattern located here on crochetville. And Darski, :applause:clap Again a very big thank you :ty for creating such a cute boy's outfit. You know you can find 1/2 million cute girls clothes, but only on a rare occasion do you find cute boys pattern. you are like a :wangel to the crochet world.

 

The hat picture is the correct color, the outfit is a dusty blue and it isn't showing it's true colors here. Agh the life of a camera.

I have been rocking through my stash this week. I wish there were points for organizing stash. I'm getting ready to move, so I needed to get it organized and sorted. I'll post pictures soon of what I have. I've also been working on some smaller projects, scrap stuff, and wips. I also have some stash earmarked to give away to worthy charitable crocheters, and a friend to needs small bits for her current fun project. For this week I am up to +11. That meets my goal for the week of getting below -100!! Yipee!! Now if I can just stay out of the yarn shops for awhile.

 

What is really sad is the number of wips I have going. About 1/3 of the stash piles were projects I've already started that just need finished. There are 3 afghans, one that I started almost 15 years ago. I sure hope all the extra yarn is still in the bag. A lot of the rest is just stuff that I need to work in ends and/or block. I think I'm going to have to have a weekend or two where I just let myself work in ends. There are also a bunch of purses that need lined and that sort of thing.

 

Apparently procrastination and not finishing what I start are bigger problems of mine than I thought.

I absolutely love that version of my pattern. Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

You might be interested in trying "Jingo" It is my favourite little guy pattern

Darski, Your Jingo is too cute. Oh if I have the time I will try to make that one as well. I will download it just to have in my stash of patterns for in the future. Little boy Pete was the last layette of three to get done and I still have three afghans to finish for September.

hi gals!!! how have you all been, busy I see!

Sorry I went MIA a few months ago, after GM decided to yank the franchise at the dealership I work at, they traded me to another store within the company, so I am learning all about Toyota now. Not very happy with it all and not doing much fiber work right now. I am working on a CX piece and that is about it.

How have you all been???

I'm making my dinosaur hoodie by frogging straight from an old ufo. They're both two toned so when I got to a brown stripe I had to roll that into a ball. -1 But I finished off a skein before I started frogging +2. That gives me a total of +1 for today.

Well, our own very nice SweetPea65 stopped by and gave me some yarn yesterday--31 full skeins and 11 partial skeins. That's -73!! GULP!!! She busted my stashbusting! :lol All these will be used to make some teen-sized Project Linus blanklets, so all will go to a good cause. I'd been so proud of myself using up 3 little balls this week after a month of making no dent in the existing stash. I think this doubles my stash now.

 

Thank you, SweetPea65, you enabler!! And the rest of you can relax--I think this is going to be a hard score to beat this week. Patty

I posted pics of my stash on the Flash your stash thread if anyone is interested. It doesn't look quite as bad as it really is, but it is a LOT! In my defense I am putting things together for craft shows this fall and winter. If I were to finish 2 of the WIP afghans that will help a lot as well. Unfortuneately, the priorities are projects that don't use up a ton of yarn.

:woo:party:jumpyay:bowWoW Darski!! 3 pounders in one week!! That is impressive, that deserves a little party, but this is the best I can do...:cheer:yay

 

I appreciate the thought but it just means that I finally finished them. I don't count any points until a skein is done so a bunch can come together at once. I did make a doilyghan and sweater set that used up one pounder this week but the others were leftovers.

 

but :ty for the kind thoughts

 

:wlol

I am working on trying to finish another skein this week. I have yet to do the booties/ shoes for the church on sunday outfit. I have had to go to the auction several times this week and I don't enjoy going. Men can be such pigs. Anyway that in it's self has cut my crochet time as by the time I get home, I am too exhausted to do much of anything. Oh well such is life.

I finished (finally) a skein of pink yarn making that baby sweater, but then I picked up a skein of white Jiffy at a rummage sale for a quarter.

 

So my score remains the same.
