May All-Charity Event -> 21st to the 25th

[darski]

Just a quick thank you to all who have been here this weekend.

 

Once again I will ask that you post your scores by noon hour tomorrow...

Tuesday May 26th

 

I would also ask that you post is large and

bright colours so I can find it quickly

 

It's funny that I have been crocheting like mad but I don't seem to have done a lot

 

Ah well it is all for a good cause. I figured out that I could finish all my remaining centres in about 2.5 hours so you would think I could finish this today ...well I will give it a shot.

 

The yellow yarn has been around for a while... yet another of my fabulous Mill Ends from Walmart. I should get a pic of the hat before I send it on. It is kinda cute.

okie-dokie, Darski!

I hope to assemble one of the lapghans today. Last night I was busy, too. I'm so glad I learned about this thread and was able to put such a good dent in my projects!

[~Kel~]

will do darski, taking a break right now, my thumb is hurting a bit LOL, back to it after dinner

[judianne]

Well, I finally laid out the squares for one ghan...off to start sewing them together! I won't finish the entire thing tonight, but should finish by tomorrow night.

I thought I would check in after spending the day at the lake kite flying with the family:D... Here is what I have been working on for this event. Once the Large granny square is done then I will start working on hats

I really like both patterns! I've been thinking of making any furture projects out of 12 inch squares instead of 8 inch - did you use the 12 inch? The big granny is a great idea, too.

I think you should be able to count it in. It is up to you. I am going to count all the centres that are put together by tomorrow. I have to come up with a suitable border so my ghan won't be finished right away.

 

i have to admit that I have really hit a wall on this one. I have 7 rows completed and one more row ready to be attached. It is all I can do to pick up a hook and that pink yarn anymore. Not sure why... other than the fact that I get bored too quickly and I have been making this self same centre since Thursday.

 

I am trying to push myself to complete this but it is taking everything in me to do so.

No the squares are 17" each

[judianne]

Darski, I get bored with repetive patterns, too --- RRs are a good antidote against that when I stash bust or do that shaded effect with 2 colors at a time.I'll only work on joining this particular one and count that in the total here.....the other will be done sometiime this week just so I can say it's finished.

[darski]

Those are really neat Kelly. The giant granny is so pleasing to the eye but they are a particular fave of mine.

 

About 12 inch squares... I just find that they get a bit tedious as the rows get longer and longer. I prefer an 8in square just because it seems to finish quickly enough that you feel you are doing something. I used to make twelve 12" squares for a 3X4 lapghan but those last couple of rows tended to wear my patience.

[judianne]

No the squares are 17" each

WOW! Big ones:clap

Everyone's items are beautiful! I'll post pictures of my hats later this evening.

Spent morning gardening, afternoon napping, and just got done with dinner.

Only made one square so far, couldn't find a pattern that appealed to me, and decided that I really wasn't ready to start another ghan til this one I have been working on is done, only on row 25, I think. So this weekend wasn't very successful for me as far as charity goes. The patio work took more time than I thought it would, and I still have one more post to paint and the top of the plant stand to stain. I just wish the weather would have been more cooperative and the weatherman more accurate...

I also finished 3 hats-Thanks Nicole for the link to pattern:). I had a lot fun making them and I still want to make more:yes

 

I also got a good start on a basic ripple. I had a lot of fun with my first Charity Event. You all made some beautiful things!

Well I did get my tail in gear and I finished the squares and the joining at 1 min. after midnight. I am working on the border now but I will not count the ghan... just the squares.

 

There is great stuff from this month's event. Thank you all. I will do the totals this afternoon.

[judianne]

My totals:

1- bordered a donated baby ghan

2- bordered 37 8 inch squares

3- made 3 more 8 inch squares

4- joined 2 strips together for a lapghan (6 squares for each strip)

5- joined 4 very large donated squares together for a big dog bed (giving it to my vet for the rescues she does)

 

Before the week is out I'll be finishing up the other 3 strips for that lapghan and then will put a ghan together that has 36 ready-to-go squares.

 

I was so happy to be part of our little group!

Congrats, Darski, on your big finish! I was here routing for you:cheer

I am going to spend my time today joining, so I will give my square totals now:

 

12": 1

6": 36

I guess I do better when I don't count till the end!

 

:ty Darski, for a wonderful time!

Tucked tails on two 34" striped babyghans, 41 slatines, and 3 15x15 kitty mats, 8 rows of starghan but not liking the color combo. Found a new pattern leaflet at Michaels with a bobble stitch at the points. Interesting change of texture. We had our first really nice sunny long holiday weekend in years and I was drawn outside more than I anticipated.
