Crocheters?

[GodFlute2]

I really need to try that sometime.

I have done it with octagons and granny squares, but not done triangles. It beats the pants of going back and sewing them together. Still not fun with all the strings hanging, although some patterns lean towards working them is as you go too.

I think it actually gives it a more uniform look than stitching pieces together too, don't you?

 

[GodFlute2]

It sounds like it would.

 

[~crystalclear~]

That sounds way better than stitching pieces together!

Do you have a picture of your afghan? I'd love to see it.

It was one of those free patterns you get in the yarn section. Each piece is a diamond shape. Instead of making a bunch of them and sewing them together you crochet each individual diamond to the previous one. Have you ever heard of doing that before?

No, I don't but I'll try to take one and get it up tomorrow. It was a fun afghan to make and I actually kept it. I've made 4 of the flag afghans and have never kept one for myself.

 

[GodFlute2]

Lol.

Wow, four of them?! That's a lot of red, white, and blue.

 

[GodFlute2]

Lol. I can imagine.

There is not much arts and crafts I don't do. I really like X-stich.

 

[GodFlute2]

Lol. Howdy! I'd love to try X-stitch and knitting while I'm at it, but I've no clue how...I suppose I could actually look it up.

 

[~crystalclear~]

Welcome, mindysue! I am new here too.

I haven't tried cross stitch yet, but would like to try it sometime.

For those who would like to turn their hooks to some charity work, here's a link to a really cute preemie hat.

There are lots of groups you can donate them to or you can contact your local hospital about giving them the hats. Many hospitals complain about the cost of preemie items and the availability of them, so they will most likely be grateful for any donation.

 

[GodFlute2]

I posted a link earlier that is taking up preemie items all this year.

 

[Celticflower]

I must have missed it--sorry.

http://angel4eva24.proboards38.com/index.cgi It's actually a forum of crocheters, but there's a board title something like 2005 charity event(s).

 

[Celticflower]

Thank You.

 

[GodFlute2]

No problem.

I need to get back into crocheting, but it's hard for me to do during the summer...between too busy, and it's too hot to do anything like that! Maybe in the evening, though... I'll see. I have some new patterns to try out.

 

[GodFlute2]

You otta try to do something smaller, a purse, or maybe a lapghan. They aren't as big or time consuming at blankets, or afghans.

Delivered the wedding 'ghan on Sunday and the couple love it!! The groom was blown away by the fact that somebody took the time to make them something. The bride loved the color and the pattern and her Mom had to show it off to everyone who walked in!
