How are your projects coming along?

**SewCrafty** · 01-18-2004, 02:53 PM

I still have my shell stitch afghan going, I'm about 1/3 of the way done. Haven't worked on it since I'm playing with crochenit.

The crochenit afghan I have 3 panels complete and I'm working on the 4th. There are 5 total to do. I haven't done any of the edging work yet though.

I remember CJ, Sara and Robin are working on afghans, how are they coming along? Melissa, what is your latest project?

Anyone else working on something?

I'm still working on mine. I need to pick up some more wool and get it finished. Not sure what my next project will be, probably another afghan so I can get my stitches all figured out right.

Its coming, but slowly.

I finished my latest project, the super long scarf. Next on my list is to try the hat that Sara linked to in her thread. I want to try some knitting machine patterns, too. But first i am refinishing a dresser to house all my knitting and crochet supplies.

almost done.

Well, here's Zachary's blanket. I couldn't fit it all in the picture, but as you can see I am still plugging away at it. I figure I have another few years left to go. rofl

I was reading Melissa reply when all of a sudden the screen went huge! ROFLMAO

Yep, I could see the fibers. It looks great Sara, I love the colors, so nice and bright. What does Zachary think of it?

**Sara Noel** · 01-18-2004, 03:17 PM

I fyou could see the fibers, then maybe you could see the dust on my floor too. rofl

I don't like the colors at all, but Zachary LOVES them and it's for him, so all is good.

He's so excited and keeps asking me if it's almost done. *sigh* I hate to break the news each time he asks that it is going to be awhile. lol

He keeps telling me he can take it ANYWHERE. rofl Not sure what his plans are.

That afghan is going to weigh more than he does!

I can just see him lugging his new blankey around with him. lol

Well it is nice and bright, bet it's easy to see the stitches at night when your working.

I just posted the progress I have made on my dresser in the gallery and the process is there in a thread In GDA Bargain Bazzar, also with links to the pics in the gallery. the sooner i finish this and put my supplies in it, the sooner i can start a new project

Sara, the afghan is lookin great. the colors are perfect for a happy little boy! I really like it.

**homesteadmamma** · 01-18-2004, 04:00 PM

Sara I love it. The colors are really cool and Zachary loves it, thats all that matters.

I do know when I did my afghan I made it too wide for a beginning afghan. I feel like you Sara, I may get it done in 2010!!

**mrscornbread** · 01-18-2004, 04:30 PM

Well I am at kind of a standstill at about 80 rows I think, about halfway done. I need someone to kick me in the butt from time to time to make sure it does not get forgotten.

**frugalmel** · 01-18-2004, 04:34 PM

I am plugging away at my shell afghan also. I am sure its nowhere near as good as it should be, but I am working on it. I will have to start another skein. Not sure if I will continue in the same off white color or a different one. Might make it burgundy and forrest green to match the couch.....

**SewCrafty** · 01-18-2004, 04:37 PM

Consider yourself kicked Robin!

I find crocheting in front of the TV very relaxing. It is a mindless thing for me to do. I don't really have to think of anything at all.

Oh and girls, I'm not blonde anymore so I need these mindless things!

**Missy** · 01-19-2004, 02:01 PM

Woo hoo ladies! I got my dresser for my knitting and crochet stuff done ( http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/...0&pagenumber=1 go to the last page, you'll see the links) now i can organise my stuff and start on a new project.

**slowtypinwoman** · 01-19-2004, 02:28 PM

I'm thinking I'd like to try crochet. Is it hard? Is it expensive? Where would be a good place to start? I nned to get a needle and yarn. Any size needle? Any kind of yarn?
Am I too high matenince? LOl
