Love that Scrapghan! Is that a box stitch? It's lovely:c9

 

My goal for this week:

 

Finish bookmarks by Tuesday night (we are handing them out on Thursday)

Finish another Mystery CAL bag I started by Wednesday night

Finish my cut-away cardi by Saturday night.

And to get camera batteries so I can post some pics this week

I finally got around to using the camera. Here is what I have completed so far this past week.

 

The first is a round ripple I made for my Step-Daughters room to match the sheet and comfortor set she got for Christmas.

 

The second is a kitchen set for a good friend's mom for her birthday.

 

I am currently working on coasters for a co-worker for Mother's Day plus beaded bookmarks for her to give to the ladies at her church for Mother's day. Also working on coasters for KISS swap and a blanket for VJGC.

I am doing a little happy dance for figuring out the picture attachment thingy without giving myself a headache or calling hubby to come help!

 

 

 

[Colleenka]

Very nice work, Jennifer. I love that round ripple. It looks fantastic on your step-daughter's bed!

I ended up using some time Thursday to sew in ends on 12 squares, then slip stitched them together to make a row of squares. That row got attached to two other rows and I added those three to the other three that were already done. So my granny square is now officially 2/3rds done, plus a border.

 

If I did not have to work on cakes/cupcakes this weekend I would have probably been able to finish the Diamond Trellis Afghan. I'm going to turn my focus to it this week to get it finished up!

Thank you.

It was on another thread in the ville awhile ago. From Annie's Attic Scrap Club. I hunted high and low for it, and found the pattern for sale on ebay and bought it. It is a box stitch worked in rounds instead of rows. A very attractive one when finished. It takes awhile though, because I have to keep putting it aside until I have enough worsted yarn scraps to work on it.

[HappyOldCro]

I love that scrapghan HappyOldCro. It is going to be beautiful!

 

Thank you, I fell in love with the pattern the first time I saw it.

Nice ghans Jennifer and HappyoldCro!!!! I haven't got much accomplished in the last couple of days . I was on such a roll too . I have spent most of the weekend working on a paper for school which is finished:clap:c9 and studying for my final exams this coming week. Thank goodness they will be over on Wednesday:yay. Means more time for me to . I will be joining those who are still here next week, as I still have a lot of stuff I need to get finished.

All of these projects are wonderful! I love the scrapghan and the round ripple.

Since some of you are still going for this week I will join in too. My list is:

 

1) buy red yarn and finish dh's afghan

2) finish (and felt) Mystery CAL bag

3) finish Cutaway Cardi (I might need to buy more yarn for this as well)

These ghans that y'all are working on are giving me the 'wants' for another ghan to make.

I have 7 rows left on my Diamond afghan. I stayed up late last night working on it. I was so tempted to stay up and finish it, but I knew it would take me a several more hours and I decided sleep was more important. Maybe I can finish it tonight after class.

[ScoobyDoo0811]

Glad to know that some of you haven't finished all your WIPs and will be here this week. From the looks of things my list keeps growing too Jennifer . So I may be here another week. I am sure when I get to digging in the yarn closet I will find more stuff. I am working on some squares and getting them joined right now, so when I get the ghans done I will post more pics.

Have a good evening all, I am off to study and maybe a square or two!!!! :hug

TY TY astitchintime!!!!

And to you Darski :fame:ty:fame:hug thank you for doing this. I have wanted to start many new projects......... but I have been good and controlled the urge. I hope it continues this week as I dig down deeper into the list of WIP's and hopefully get them all done

That is GREAT.

:yay:jumpyay:woo:yay:yay

 

I finished a few WIPs and organized my yarn thanks to Darski. This was a great CAL for me.

[FosterMom]

alrighty I finished the last row of blocks on the lacy afghan. It calls for 12 rows but I am cutting it off at 10 since it is plenty big. Now it's just two rows of border that will take awhile since it is so darn big. I will start that tomorrow, maybe. LOL

 

Current WIP List:

 

Lacy block afghan

Round Ripple for charity

MAM panel afghan for my Elder (2 of 10 done)

 

not so bad

This nearly brings tears of joy to my eyes. I am so proud of you for putting in all that effort.

Congratulations Kelly! What an accomplishment - wow!!!! I'm looking forward to the pictures!

[a_stitchintime]

Wow! KellyA!

 

You are a true inspiration ... I came here all bummed out about being stuck on non-cooperative bookmarks (couldn't even get 1 finished today:sigh), but seeing what you've accomplished, I am taking a new outlook, and feel better already. :cheerThank you!

And I can't wait to see all those pictures!

[a_stitchintime]

Hey, Darski-

 

Do you happen to have the dates for this month's Charity Square along? I want to make sure I plan for it this time around. I thought there had been dates thrown out last month, but I can't seem to find them :thinkdarn Menopause

I was thinking that I would offer to host it from the 21st to the 25th. I haven't heard anyone saying they would take it.

 

I think I will post an announcement and see if anyone stands up and salutes. ( I think I just mangled a famed American maxim )

 

In this instance, your menopause is not to blame... I don't think it was announced.
