Some good clean fun?!

[Colleenka]

Yes, totally funked. I think about crochet alot, but there is nothing I want to make right now I guess I just need to come across a pattern that I'm excited about. I should make squares or something, just to make something.

 

That wreath is pretty. I have always wanted to make a wreath.

[irishrose]

Well there you go! Make a wreath with me! I'm not using the flowers she used. I'm using her other two flower patterns. You could make one for your DD's room!

[Colleenka]

That sounds nice, but I just don't want to right now. I guess the good thing about not crocheting is that I'm getting lots of cleaning done

[cristopher2k]

Hi!

I started another ghan for dd teacher, I am using RH Fall, I'm on the second skien of yarn, but sometimes I get tired of crocheting too...Oh My gosh! I should bite my tongue!

[irishrose]

Yeah. Could you send some funk down this way? It's all I want to do lately. All the spring colors have me very excited!!

[Colleenka]

What pattern are you using for the afghans? What a nice teacher's gift! And yes, bite your tongue!

[Colleenka]

Shannon, if you are excited, crochet away! All I want to do is declutter and tidy. You'd think I was nesting, but I'm not expecting or anything

[irishrose]

:eekWow! A ghan for a teacher's gift is very nice! How big is your hexagon project now?

[cristopher2k]

dd garden in a box is growing, she's so excited!

Shannon-I hope that your dd feels better soon.

Colleen-cleaning takes more energy than , darn...wish cleaning were effortless.

[irishrose]

Okay, I'll crochet away, if you'll come down and "nest" at my house!:lol Then we'd both be happy, and everything would be right with the world!

[irishrose]

Thanks, LeeAnn. How's your DD feeling tonight?

[cristopher2k]

The hexagon ghan fits the top of a twin bed, the ends are different tho, I'm not sure it it's ever supposed to be even? What do ya all think?

[cristopher2k]

dd still has a runny nose and sore throat. I was hoping that it would clear up more it's pretty dusty out here, we live out in the middle of no-where.

[irishrose]

DD caught the bug! I told her to clean up, and instead she sat on the sofa and is "crohaying". Actually, she's wrapping yarn around her hands...but she's loving it!

[Colleenka]

LeeAnn - You've already made that hexagon afghan as big as a twin sized bed .... OK, now that I've dusted myself off.... I'd think the ends would be uneven and that would be part of it's charm.

[Colleenka]

DD caught the bug! I told her to clean up, and instead she sat on the sofa and is "crohaying". Actually, she's wrapping yarn around her hands...but she's loving it!

 

That is so sweet. Crohaying. DD was working on her chain last night. She says it's a garland for the Christmas tree.

[cristopher2k]

the pattern for the teacher's ghan is called light and lacy, it's fairly easy and works up super fast. I found the pattern on the label of yarn that wal-mart used to carry, I can't think of the name of the yarn tho.

[irishrose]

Using it as garland is a wonderful idea, Colleen! Is she still adding to the one she started with?

 

LeeAnn, I can't believe your hexagon ghan is that big already!! That's amazing!

[cristopher2k]

How sweet that you dd was crohaying...I love it! I tried teaching my dd but she's a lefty and it's complicated. I don't know what to do. She wants to learn and can get as far as a chain but then she gets frustrated.

[cristopher2k]

Now that I have been home, I have the day to myself, the kiddos and dh go to school and work and then the party begins! I am not one to watch a lot of t.v. but I can go to town

[Colleenka]

LeeAnn - I'm teaching my DD right now. She's mastered the chain and is starting to get the concept sc. We'll try that again soon when she's interested.

 

Shannon - Yes, she's still on the same chain. It's about 4 feet long. She hasn't touched it in a while (no role model, I guess ).

[irishrose]

LeaAnne and I both are lefties. It might help if you put her in front of you, which would kinda make it a mirror image. I would ask LeaAnne about it. She might have some other suggestions.

[Colleenka]

I don't watch daytime TV either, LeeAnn. But sadly I don't crochet during the day. That said, I've been working and volunteering a lot this year. Maybe work will find a replacement before the school year ends and I can have a day or two to "party"

 

Good idea about the mirror image. I think LeaAnne has taught one or more of her DD's, so she might have some pointers if one of them is right handed.

[cristopher2k]

I am a lefty too! But I learned to crochet with my right hand, I will have to sit her across from me. Thank you for the tip!

[irishrose]

DD just came up and said, "You want to crohay with me? You want to play with yarn with me?" How cute is that???? Seriously!
