New Year's Eve CAL?

[minwifeof4boys]

um.... I think its about 40 -ish around here ... but windy....

[ZoeZoesmom]

I too am having a hard time counting - well not so much of having a hard time, but I should of picked a more repetitive project for tonite

 

Cheers! I switched to a simple scarf.

 

we only got about 2-3" but with this wind who knows where it is or how much! Of course we went up to Columbia Crossroads this afternoon to pick up my sonshine and it was a bit slippy up there when we were on the way home. No real ice here, or at least earlier there wasn't

I just looked out the door and the road look rather slick, glad we decided to stay in. Of course hubby is already snoring on the couch.

Well I am a little late joining in, but I am here.

 

 

I think I am going to attempt to wing a poncho pattern tonight.

 

Until I am unable to count anymore, like a few of you seem to be.

It's a frosty 26 degrees:wcold here....so I'm definitely NOT going to my friend's fireworks party. Too cold:wbrr for me to be standing around outside!

[ropergirl3]

okay guys are in bed! Now I can watch New Year's Rockin' Eve!!!

[ropergirl3]

weather says we are at 15 degrees but feels like 1 degree--well either way I am not going out!!!

[Tia]

It's 22 degrees here in West Va. with a wind chill of 12. It's been super windy all day, but I think it's starting to calm down now.

 

I'm working on an afghan now so it can help me keep warm.

Hi from VA... it is extremely windy and cold - going to the 30's tonite. Wind did a ton of damage around here - gusts up to 50 mph. Boy do I miss the snow as I originally came from NY. Am not doing a project right now - sipping a glass of wine - arthritis in my rt wrist acting up due to the cold. Nice to be here.

[Arlinka]

ok.... who has a New Years Resolution they would like to share?

[ZoeZoesmom]

With the wind chill we are at sub zero temps....that is what it is supposed to be like tonight in the city when the ball drops. Glad I am in my nice warm house.

[rlanto]

I have no clue how cold it is here. I've been under lots of blankets and crocheting my hands off. How's everyone else?

[Arlinka]

Went to see the ball drop many years ago when I was younger.... froze !!!!! Then for many years I watched it on tv. Now it seems I can't stay awake to watch it anymore.

[ropergirl3]

I cannot wait until my son is a little older to take him to watch the ball drop, but he just turned 5 so not quite yet.

Weather.com says it is 18 degrees, and the wind chill is making it feel like -2, here on usually mild-wintered Long Island. Good weather for making BIG afghans. My current project is being made from squares so it isn't helping to keep me warm.

 

I am working on my own version of the "cookies" afghan that appeared a while ago in Crochet World magazine. I couldn't find a copy of the issue. So I remembered getting the pattern for the sandwich cookies at Crochet Pattern Central, and I figured out how to turn the circles into squares to make the afghan with. I am doing every other square as a cookie. All of the plain squares (24) are done and I have 7 cookie squares done, leaving me 18 to do. It will be 7 X 7, or 49 squares when complete. I am almost done with all the cookies that still need to be turned into those squares. So my first goal for tonight is to finish the 4 cookies that I have left to do. Then I have a few choices…start turning the cookies into squares, or start putting a single crochet brown border on all the other finished squares. I am making this for an "Oreo" collector and fanatic!

 

All this to do while trying to stay warm, and awake until midnight. It is only 9:55pm here on the east coast.

[ZoeZoesmom]

Anyone making any New Years resolutions?

[Arlinka]

Also take him to see the Macy's Day Parade at Thanksgiving. It is something you have to experience at least once in your life. It is so different than watching it on TV.

[snapdragon928]

Going to watch a bit of rocking eve tonight at work. I want to see the ball drop. If it's boring, I will check what else is on. It snowed last night here a fewinches or so made the roads slick last night. I went through a stop sign on the way home from the store. Tonight now snow so hopefully safe drive to work.

[ropergirl3]

mine is to first be more patient with my sonshine

and second for us to do at least one new thing or go to at least one new place each month no matter how close or far

[Atiyah]

Prosecco,chocolate chip cookiesand crocheting what more do you need?

[wiz3283]

I haven't made any yet but my first one might just have to be not throwing the laptop since I cant get the wireless connection on it working. It is freezing in my computer room.

[ropergirl3]

Rockin' Eve has Ryan Seacrist so it might be good to look at! LOL

[Arlinka]

Besides the USUAL resolution to lose weight and be a better person, I am going to try to do more volunteer work. I do a ton now, but have a need to do more.

[ropergirl3]

sorry Tammy! Mine doesn't work in my back room unless I get online in the front room first then walk back with it!!!

[ropergirl3]

I am from So NJ originally and am so sad that I can no longer get the Mummer's Day Parade here in Pa, boo hiss---anyone wanna DVD it for me?????

LOL! Me too! I'm tired of being overweight, and volunteering helps me appreciate what I've got!
