Miss Kitty · Wip's Wednesday------------September 30, 2009

Last day of September. How everybody doin??
Like to "hear" or see what you have been up to?

Me:

I was bored with all my Wip's so I made a little sock for my Sock Blocker Keychain.

Modular aafghan is taking longer to do a colored row.

"with a Twist" is growing a little bit..

Hugs and Kisses socks didn't get touched.

I am working on nylon net scrubbies

Got 5 finished

Serena

You two are busy! I finished a potholder and started another. And those lap blankets are calling....

Mom w/a Motif

I have been wanting to do nylon net scrubbies. Finally found the pattern for one, somewhere.

I have been working on:

~Barbie Doll Furniture (crocheted). Finished a 'blanket chest' and rug, have to do the chair now. Also did a Barbie doll tote/purse which I made up myself. (Posted the pattern on my other/pattern blog:http://tinascrochetpage.blogspot.com/2009/09/barbie-totepurse.html )

~G.I. Joe (or other 12" male doll) sleeping bag (finished that), and a tent. The tent is going to be a lot of work, though. (And I have to make TWO), and another sleeping bag... (sigh) Then I have to go get a 12" male doll somewhere. (Going to look at the thrift shop here, first...)

~A shawl for someone who is going through a rough time w/ Lupus and other problems. (I started two other shawl patterns before I finally found one that is easy enough to do. Both of the other patterns didn't make any sense. Guess I just know how to pick 'em, huh?...)

~Finishing up a potholder.

Your little sock blocker keychain is cute, Miss Kitty. I haven't touched the Earl Grey socks since the day after I started them.

I finished a doily. Have made several small doilies as coasters for gifts. am making a pineapple scarf for gift(have one more pineapple motif to make then the edging. A baby blanket to finish(star shaped). have a kit to make a pineapple doily in lavender with a pansy in the center. Need to get spiderman scarf started. X-mas is so close hands must remain busy.

Tina do you have dollar tree or a dollar store near you. the last time at the dollar store they had ken and barbie type dolls. I was going to get a couple to use for deb dolls.

Kathy I finally found a scrubbie pattern with a tutoral that made sense. I will try them soon. Do you use the netting with thread or by it's self.

Kahud48

I just use the nylon netting. I have bought it at a couple of places, but find that Hancock Fabrics has the best for the scrubbie. They are just a bit tougher nylon.

I cut into 1 inch strips and then I hold 3 strips together to make mine.
Sometimes I will cut a few in 2 inch strips and will hold that along with a 1 inch strip and make them that way. Depends on the colors and the amounts that I have left sometimes...til I can re-stock when running out of nylon netting.

Thank You! the pattern I found you can use cotton, or what ever. I will try making one and let daughter-in-law test it. She always turns out to be my guinie pig(deliberately misspelled).

TX CrochetLover

Working on my sweater still.

Mom w/a Motif

We do have one, that just opened a couple months ago. I was just there last night but I didn't think to look for those. They don't have much of a toy aisle, like the one in Colorado did (the one in CO had those there, I did buy a couple for gifts there, too...)

Suzee

Almost done with the Mainstays afghan/throw. Finished the straps on 2 of the 3 string bags. Have one coaster to finish. That is probably all I will get done this week. One thing at a time.

Still doing the bin sorting, but only have 3 left.

Hopefully, (and I am pushing hard), it will all be done by Saturday.

The next couple of days will be incredibly busy.

--There is a hard frost coming tonight and have to harvest the peppers and tomatoes; tidy up and put an edge on the plant beds; mulch around the roses, salvia and the tree.

--Clean up and clear off patio

--Kitchen/Dining room floors

--Vacuum and dust and general pick up

--Start on the cleaning and conditioning of the leather sofa, loveseat and both recliners. Oh yippee.

And...odds and ends as I come across them.

Best of all...I am going to water aerobics today.

anoramaxsis

Susee hope you enjoyed the water aerobics.

Miss Kitty

Serena

Miss Kitty, I do need to work on those lap blankets.

But, I made my very first soap today instead!

Your smilies are the cutest!

I don't know about water aerobics, but soaking in a hot tub would sure be nice....

TX CrochetLover

Suzee, you guys are really working hard! Slow down woman, you are going to overdo it! LOL!

Serena

Finished the potholder for Anoramaxsis for part 4 of the swap.

Got a few rows done, finally, on one of those lap blankets.

Picked up a couple of cotton skeins at the sale at Michael's on Saturday. Wasn't a really good deal, but wanted another color. Michael's no longer carries the worsted weight cotton in cones.

Hope you all are doing well!

TX CrochetLover

I worked on my sweater while watching football yesterday and got the left sleeve done. Just have the right sleeve and the collar.

Colyak Crocheter

I can't believe it! I actually finished a baby afghan and 4 scarves this past week! I'm on a roll, maybe. I have been starting so many things and not finishing any of them unless it was an order for someone.

WooHoo!!

Kahud48

Got my baby things finished and a bunch of scrubbies
plus designed a couple of potholders

She had her baby

an 8 pound and 20 inches long baby boy!
She had to have a c section and she is so sore! She is just 21 years old
bless her heart.

Serena

Seems as though we're all busy.

Hooray for getting things done!
