Having Fun and Getting it Done 2009 - 2nd Quarter!!

[ratdog]

OK I did another row of white on the preschool blanket (each 'row' of color is actually two rows of shells).

 

Now I have been invited to a baby shower in three weeks!!!!

 

Has anyone made the fuzzy bunny blanket from lionbrand's site?

[flyinghigh]

 

Here's my list.

 

1) Finish "n-hook ripple afghan" for my cousin's wedding.

2) Retry cowgirl tank top

3) Finish my round ripple

4) Pink & White baby blanket for charity at local hospital

5) Blue & White baby blanket for charity at local hospital

6) Beach wrap in time for summer!

7) Impromptu wrist warmers

8) Cut Away Cardi CAL

 

I decided last night I was done with the n hook ripple. I didn't use all the yarn I had originally planned to use, but I think it'll be alright. It'll be warm enough to use as a lap blanket on those "cold" California nights. Hopefully it'll make a nice addition to my cousin and his wife's home. :-)

Here's some pictures I tried to take. In the second one, that's my niece, Kiya, trying to help model the afghan.

She's cute. So is the afghan. It will be a nice lap blanket. I am still plugging away at mine, I beleieve I am close to the middle. Still trying to get a picture before my daughter leaves tomarro with the computer.

Lea, I had a laugh at that last post, why indeed do we do this to ourselves? I have a bit longer, untill july, but motivation to do it is lagging. After powering through the last two skeins, it's taken me forever to get these skeins gone. I need another hour long road trip and a trip to the restaurant, that's how I got those skeins done, alot of visiting with my hook and yarn with me. Or a movie that I can crochet to.

I finished 2 projects & they are attatched.

I finished the last thing on my list!! The HIV/AIDS Awareness blanket.

 

[flyinghigh]

That's a pretty blanket! I like the pattern! And it's a really pretty color as well.

[smith]

I love the brightness!! I so can't believe you finished everything on your list!!! How can you be so organized? I have so many things popping up say "me next? me next?"

 

I finally finished my purple rectangle and my soft green and white granny for my nursing home this week. I am trying to find a decent hat and scarf pattern that would be easy enough to teach to someone....blah! I have done so much ripping it's crazy!

I finished the two skeins of yarn on the wedding ripple on the way to the zoo for work, nice life huh? Get to get paid for going to the zoo! I did have to push a large wheelchair around though, so I got my moneys worth. It is about square now. It's so wide I thought about finishing it off and telling the bride to turn it on it's side and that's the way it goes, I am tired of it. Pretty red afghan, Jessica!

Suzy love the bag. Great work, Nickie. I plan on taking my afghan to work tonight, third shift has alot of down time in it. First time working third shift awake shift in a long time, I was very sleepy and reading wasn't cutting it. I could not stay awake because I thought it was next week I started thirds and I took my sleeping pills. OOps! Crochet will keep me awake I hope. Then I can finish my afghan.

I finished another two skiens on the afghan and now I am on my last two skeins that are two extra skiens than the pattern called for but it's not long enough. Stiil thinking of telling her to turn it sideways,lol. I think I am done after these two skeins. It covers me from head to my neck but it's short on the bed.

Love the bag. It's very colorful and I think it's a neat idea to do it in Micky colors for your trip, Ratdog. Still plugging away at the afghan. If we go to Tennessee on the fourth, I can get alot of crocheting done in the car.

[ratdog]

Finished a second 'Mickey' colored bag today.

[flyinghigh]

This quarter is almost over! I haven't finished any more projects from my list, but I've been on a headband making stint the last week or so. Now when I wear them, my sister's fiance says I look like a hippie. Haha. But I like them. haha.

 

Hope everyone else is doing well. It's hooott up here in Michigan.
