Her dragonfly one struck me as a beautiful wall hanging. Some of the others might make great center panels in a blanket worked in a heavier wt yarn--maybe a dk cotton?? And maybe write the designer and ask what she does with them?

Hmm - some good ideas, Tanya. You have got my brain working now.

 

[linda09]

Thank you. I have discovered this little fact. It really is a beautiful piece--color, size, texture, yarn, pattern. Excellent combo. You know that phrase: "Love when a good plan comes together."

The "A" Team phrase suits well. I think it is one of those patterns which can easily be done in any weight of yarn.
I can see the centre repeats making a great afghan in a heavier yarn. I may have to swatch an aran sample. Oh no! I said the "s" word - not something I do often. :sm05:

Happy Birthday from me, too, Chris! :sm02:

And from me too. Have happy day.

 

[linda09]

I do the same Julie, especially when it is for me and it is not a glaring "fudge"

Happy Birthday Chris🎂

Here's the picture of me and the King
Kamehameha

He is impressive.

This is the Red Heart Super Saver Zebra I'm talking about. I have to generate at least 24 of this pattern...there are now 2 other variations (and DFL is also aware of them as I've read her contributions to the 2 other topics). 72 divided by 3 = 24

I may be doing the same color but at least I'll have a change of design. :sm24:

Oh, I see. Looks effective. Thanks for the photo, Karen.

Where I was about half an hour ago with Waiting for Rain - you can just see the cast off to the right.

Looking good, Julie.

Caryn that is a great picture of you and the King! I won't even try to type out his name.. but a great picture..

Karen I love what you are doing with the dishcloth pattern.. I love the Redheart Soft colors.. and they will make a beautiful blanket!! about how long does it take you to make a square? I have saved this pattern... I love what Ros did too... I bet that was for one of her little ones.. :sm01:

I ordered my yarn yesterday I got the Malachite color way.. http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/artyarns-exclusive-milano-fade-yarn-gradient-pack/29991?dts=Deal-Sold&suid=501535 and a big Woo Hoo for me..

LOL I have a few shawls that would be nice.. now I wish I had picked up the Sapphire color too... maybe next time if I like the way this works up..

Gorgeous yarn, Ronie. Do you have a pattern in mind?

Hi Roni, glad you got the "Black Friday" deal.....I chose NOT to buy, because, well...I have so much yarn now that I am way beyond the "life expectancy" level...soooo...I can be happy that someone got in on their fabulous prices....but a little sad that I didn't "go for it"... :sm13:

YAY!!! Julie nearly done... and your right if that rider on the fast horse won't see it and if they are not big enough to bother you.. I say let them go... it is when I have a big oops that I can't fix that I get picky and start to tink.. or frog even

Oh I agree to that! Especially with commissions. I am nearly halfway with the cast off now, Double yay!

I am guilty of fudging too. Perhaps the mark of a good knitter is that fudging can be imperceptible except to the most trained eye. i.e. we know how to do it. sm09:
You seem to have skated through WFR very quickly, Julie. :

:sm24: I have got the computer separate from the telly now- I go through and knit from three or four in the afternoon- can concentrate better, because I am not trying to type! Plus I really want to wear it, these last cold days before spring kicks in.

 

[Lurker 2]

Looking good, Julie.

Thank you, Linda!

I am so totally behind with this party. We got back from the Outer Banks on Saturday and am still recovering. Feel like I am in need of a vacation to get over the last one. I did enjoy it. Can I say it was relaxing despite being busy. Had some wonderful early morning walks on the beach at sunrise with my six year old GD, Alexandra. We just talked picked up shells and just enjoyed each other's company.

That is wonderful! Welcome back.

:sm24: from me too.

 

[triciad19]

Thank you, Pam. The other 2 are kiddy things so didn't take long. I just have one project at the moment - a sweater so I need to start something smaller - socks perhaps.

I read something the other day. Socks are small in size but large in stitches. About 17,000 stitches per sock.

Although our Newfoundland vacation is over, my thoughts still are in that beautiful country. For some reason it made a tremendous impression on me. Since returning home, I have ordered several books about it. I am amazed that you can buy a used book on Amazon for $0.01! Of course then I had to pay $3.99 for shipping. Still a great bargain, for a book that is like new. So I have been stocking up.

I still have to read up on my camera I got for my birthday just before we went. My SIL helped me download and play with one of my favourites. Here is a whole colony of puffins.
