Crocheters?

[Celticflower]

Wow, no posts for over a month??? Are we all incredibly busy or what?

I have finished up another afghan or two, delivered a baby blanket, have 3 thread projects and another afghan started, am helping at VBS teaching crochet during craft time, picked 20 of the 27 quarts of cherries we got off our 2 little trees and have been playing lifeguard most afternoons while the kids play in the pool (sometimes I get in).

Saturday my husband is making me get up at 6:00 to help with the Father/child breakfast he "organized" again this year. I will "get to help" in the kitchen and with a craft activity -- picture frames for pet photos. Think I'll take something along to work on, just in case. Maybe a hairpin scarf - it travels nicely.

Well, that is what I've been up to. How about you???

I've been looking for someone with the same interest in the arts and crafts section to talk to. Are there any crocheters(if that's even a word) that have IM or would like to talk to someone with a similar interest in crocheting?

yes, I crochet. i am working on 3 scarves (one on a knitting loom) and an afghan.

Sorry to hear about the afghan. Any ideas on what went wrong?

No, no idea. So disappointing!

incredably busy...that's it. I just got back from camp yesterday

I have a reason to wait for the mail to come -- I have crochet goodies coming!!

First -- I won a suprise package from a crocheter in Europe in the Crochet Partner's recycle contest. Can't wait to see what I get!

Second -- I scored 4 more old issues of Decorative Crochet magazine on ebay from a seller in Canada. I got 3 from her a month or so ago. (Now I'll have 14 of 104 issues). I see lots of thread gifts over the next few (?) Christmases. LOL

I love to crochet it relaxes me. I have made afghans for every size

 

[GodFlute2]

awesome!

I am still working on my odds and ends afghan I posted about a while back. I have not had too much time to work on it, because of school. Do any of you know of a way to read and crochet at the same time?

I would love to talk to other crocheters. I have lots of doilies I have done. Several afghans too. I am working on a bedspread now and another afghan. When I am not crocheting, I am cross stitching or latch hooking, plastic canvas or making beaded angels. Can you tell I love to craft? My hubby cross stitches as well.

Awesome! My aunt does a lot of general arts and crafts, I kinda stick to crocheting though.

What type patterns do you like to use when you make doilies? Do you like the written out type or the picture type (don't know the specific terms). As well do you use new patterns or old patterns?

 

[GodFlute2]

text or pictograph? just a possability

I think those were the terms I was refering too. Which do you use or like better.

I like the picture kind. Most of my patterns are from old magic and decorative crochet. I have some old time crochet too.

 

[spinningwheelgirl]

I like the picture kind as well, they are easier to follow. At one time though I like the text type better.

 

[GodFlute2]

Personally I like to work with a combination of the two.

 

[spinningwheelgirl]

What colour of dolies do you make, just white or multicolour? And what do you do with them when you are done. I have given a number of mine away as presents.

 

[prayingwoman]

I make some white or ecru and color ones. I like a variation. I do give a lot of them away. I still have a drawer full though! But I like to keep some on hand extra just in case I need a little present.
