Ruana'sDon't ya just love 'em? They seem so "rich" and classy - the one's I have seen modeled in the magazines. I hope to make at least one next year. |

Now this is interesting Miss Kitty. I had only seen the ones that are like 5 feet. This is cute. It's worth the $5 IMHO. Have to save the link for later purchase.
Thanks, good lookin' out. |

I printed out one that I wanted to do. Thought it was with the berroco patterns but can't find it now..  I'll have to look some more when I have time or find the one that I printed out...
http://www.berroco.com/exclusives/radha/radha.html is cute too.. |

I keep saying I'm a crocheter, but ummmm, patterns like this . . . I dunnoooooooo. I just printed it out. It says intermediate and I do have a girlfriend who would help me through any rough spots. I dunnoo Miss Kitty. I just might not be as loyal to crochet as I thought.
Seriously, I'm impatient and crochet simply goes faster is all. I've been checking out that Berroco site and mercy me; I am lovin' it. Yesterday I went to Border's and picked up a back issue of Interweave (Fall, 07), thought I'd died and went to heaven. I am so excited about coming out of my fiber arts hiatus. |

I have to agree with you on that one Miss Kitty. I love their site.
Also, I had never heard of a Ruana before but they're beautiful dangit!! Another thing to add to my 'to do' list. |

I do agree totally Lisa, I have never saw one of those before either!
That is so beautiful.............my to do list is so full, but I am adding this one, and think I am going to be moving it up near the top, that is just so pretty! Thanks for sharing this one StitchnLocks and the links Miss Kitty

Almost forgot to ask,
For someone on a budget, what would be a good yarn for them to get to be able to make the smaller one? . |

Okay, first of all, check this out: Crochet Squared by Marsha A. Polk (THIS is the book that got me hooked on ruanas). Oh man, just stopped over at Amazon, get this -  http://www.amazon.com/Crochet-Squ...oks&qid=1197059897&sr=8-1 They have a new/used one for $1.47 (and it's probably NEW).
They are nothing but 5 feet (or more) rectangles. From that standpoint use whatever yarn that fits your budget. |

These are just so pretty.
I want to make me a loose fitting BIG bulky sweater. I saw these and right at first, I thought they were crochet 
Do you all know of a free pattern out there that would be loose fitting like these, but is more like a sweater? Basically I guess you would call what I am looking for... a baggy bulky BIG comfy sweater crochet pattern. |

| StitchnLocks |
Kahud, these ARE indeed crocheted. They are crocheted rectangles. Meanwhile, I'll be on the lookout for a big, bulky, way comfy crochet sweater for you. |

Thanks StitchnLocks 
I have searched the net to no avail 
|

Dang, that's too bad. I just left Value World (local thrift store) and purchased beau coup sweaters. Saw maaany thick, fat, comfy sweaters too!!! One of these days I am going to get into purchasiing used sweaters with the thought of recycling the yarn like I read about on the 'net a couple months back (yeah right)
