Crocheters?

[LostnFound]

Still working on my third Prayer shawl (gggrrr). DH has been gone and the boys are really up my tail this week. My next venture is going to be trying to make a crochet cast net!!! hehehe we've been doing a WHOLE lot of fishing, and I just KNOW I can make one.

Lol. Cool.

I've been curious about the prayer shawls. What exactly are they? Other than shawls.

 

[Zinnia]

I crochet occasionally. Perhaps a project in the works coming up soon.

 

[GodFlute2]

that's cool.

Read through the Prayer Shawl thread. There is some interesting info and links there. I posted a pic of my first shawl there also!

I have finished 5 1/2 out of 6 little fish for husband's church project and am 3 skeins into a 9 skein (8oz size) afghan. Unfortunately, it is starting to get hot which will make the afghan an unwelcome chore at times, but I need to have it done by June 26. It is a wedding gift.

 

[GodFlute2]

Lol. Those afghans do get a bit sweaty at times.

Celticflower, dig out your fan, aim it from the side into your lap, but not your face, see if that helps. I think anyone who has done afghans knows, they can get HOT! They are usually winter work for me.

 

[GodFlute2]

That may work. Cool idea.

It can definitely get hot when you're crocheting something in your lap. But it's hard to put it down too.

Ain't that the truth.

I got a warm fuzzy in the mail yesterday! A couple of weeks ago I had mailed an afghan to my cousin for her newly adopted 1 yr old daughter and had included one for her older (6?) son as well. Turns out he absolutely loves his new blanket! He loves to snuggle in blankets, but this was the first one that was just for him. His mom says she finds him all wrapped up in it when she goes to wake him in the morning <g>.

So remember-- new big brothers/sisters need gifts too!

Isn't that great!? That's a BIG warm fuzzy!

It is quite reaxing.

You know, I'm amazed at the life of this thread. There have been several threads started about crocheting but this is the first I've seen with so many replies. It's great to keep in contact with you all.

 

[GodFlute2]

I agree. I wanted to find someonewith the same intrest in crocheting as I do and I found a bunch of people! Lol.

Hi...I just found your thread,I haven't been a member for very long but i also love to crochet and knitting too.I have been doing both for too many years to remember. 50 at least.....I was taught by an aunt, then didn't do any for ten years or so then got married and discovered i could do jumpers and things for my babies. So i really got into it. I do find that here in Australia the sizes of the needles and hooks are totally different. I am doing a latch hook rug at the moment,It's 8 feet by 6 feet...it's big...but i love doing it and it doesn't matter how long it takes....I started it end of february, and I've done nearly a quarter of it...all because I refused to pay nearly 1000 dollars for a bought one and I couldn't get the colours I wanted.....good eh? that will do for now,,,but anytime I can help I'm here too,,,don't forget...I'm not on very often but I do check it out now and then...love and blessings
