[bgnagy]

Tam, cool colors, that looks awesome.

 

Athba, your colors sound bright and cheery, and as you can tell from my pics, I like bright and cheery!

[teakaycee]

omy... thanks everyone for the compliments and encouragement!!!

I havent worked on it anymore due to other commitments... but plan to get some time with it this week. I have tons of baseball games I can get some crochet time in with!

ooooh! that sounds gorgeous! I have come to the conclusion that this blanket would be amazing in any color choice and I can't wait to see what the next person chooses!

Tam: I love the colors you chose! :cheerIt can be a challenge to find some good solid crochet time! This was the first year my son did not play basketball and it really cut down on that comitted time slot! Hope you get lots of opportunities during baseball! Can't wait to see that blanket as it grows!

[LyndyLou]

Can I join in too??

 

I really REALLY want to make one too!! I love the colors used here http://thornberry.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/wool-eater-progresses/

 

I don't live near a Hobby Lobby, but I did find what looked like matching colors on their Crafts Etc website -- when I go on vacation to Iowa on Friday I'll have to make a clandestine stop at a couple of HL's on the way to see if I can get my yarn. Hubby won't notice yarn piling up in the back seat of the car, will he???

[Cherri]

Well, I'm done! Here is my finished lapghan. It's going to the Pine Ridge Elder Center on the reservation and is done in the Lakota tribe colors. I know it's a little warped but I hope some elder will still like it. It ended up around 50" square. Thanks for looking.

[contrary.crocheter]

LyndyLou: Welcome! I love the colors in that one too. Good luck on your yarn hunt! can you smuggle in a small empty bag or suitcase he wouldn't notice and just keep stashing yarn there?

 

Cherri: that came out very pretty and I know someone will be thrilled to have it!

 

I am going to keep working on mine a little longer:hook Not quite sure yet where I want to stop!

[Aussie]

Cherri it looks fantastic.

[Cherri]

Thanks for the compliments. I do think that before I make another one, I'll have to figure out why it got warped. It's not as bad as I thought but being a perfectionist, it bothers me.

[jenniferelyse74]

I began working on one of these when this thread first started. I got a little discouraged and set it aside because it just took too much concentration. With the little amount of crochet time I get, it almost didn't seem worth it. Now, looking at all the posted pics, I am thinking I may have judged too soon. I will probably dig it back out once I finish a couple of other WIPs.

 

Great job everyone.

[LyndyLou]

Cheri that is just gorgeous!! If you find out how to correct the wrap let me know -- most of my square stuff turns out off kilter too!!

Thank you for the compliment.

Omy........... my three little ones still at home sure do keep me busy with sports. Football..Basketball... Track.. and Baseball..........

I can get some crocheting done at the games.... and practices... but all the driving to and from is what eats at my time...........

Wow................ that turned out so nice!!! Great job!!!

[bgnagy]

Cherri, excellent job. It looks great and I'm sure whoever receives it will be thrilled with it.

ok I really want to try this one but I have a question for those of you that have started it, do you think it would be possible to do it in all one color (I got lucky at Michael's yesterday and got 14 skeins of RH sunshine print) I'd love to do it in this varigated but not sure it would work

Well, to be perfectly honest with you, I'm afraid the pattern would get lost using a varigated yarn (although I could be completely wrong). Why don't you try it and see. The beginning goes really quickly and you could always frog it.

[darski]

Kelly, it is best to break up the varigated yarn with a solid here and there. You can usually find some matching or blending colours to showcase your varigated yarn.
