plants 'n pots plants 'n pots Purl One Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/03 Posts: 23958 Loc: Rockland County, NY	We've had a thread going for knitting for quite some time now, so I thought I'd start one where we can share our crochet projects. This it what I finished this week - they were easy and I think cute! My 2 cacti friends... _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...

Mel - some of the cutest pictures I have seen of this pattern has straight pins stuck all over the cactus - the kinds with the colorful balls on the ends - too cute!!! Sheri - I have not heard of that, but for now I only doing free patterns - thanks for the idea though. Anyone else have crochet projects to share? _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...

loz loz Big Trouble Garden Helper Registered: 05/18/03 Posts: 41992 Loc: Beautiful Western Maryland...z...	They are so cute Lynne. Make me smile just seeing them. I bought an N size hook yesterday and started crocheting a new blanket with Red Heart Bay Print yarn....it's blues. Making in in a double crochet---got a pretty good start on it already. _________________________ Praying hard for Bill.

So I started fresh.....let me do a few more rows and then I'll post a pic! I forgot how bad crocheting makes my hands ache. _________________________ Praying hard for Bill.

loz loz Big Trouble Garden Helper Registered: 05/18/03 Posts: 41992 Loc: Beautiful Western Maryland...z...	It does go with jeans well huh? Thanks you two, it's actually for my best friend...but it's a big secret---I'll hold on to it until Christmas. I've made just about everyone and their brother blankets, but I've never made one for her. I told her the other day I bought her something that was a surprise and I had to work on it and she wouldn't get it for a long time....she was like LOZ, that's so not fair----what is it. That picture actually isn't a fair representation. I folded the length over and if you look in the middle where it looks different that's one end joined up to the other to show it off better.....I made it quite long so each row takes me a while---my wrist aches after doing it a bit---the right one is the one I broke in 3 places years ago. _________________________ Praying hard for Bill.

dodge dodge Hot Rod Garden Helper Registered: 10/06/05 Posts: 11919 Loc: Rural - Western Pennsylvania	Nice Loz, I prefer the mixed colored yarn also.. I crochet, but the holes in the hat kept me cold. I bought one this year, with thinsulation .. Is there such a thing as thinsulation yarn? _________________________ PS... My horse isn't here, this is my Nitemare..

loz loz Big Trouble Garden Helper Registered: 05/18/03 Posts: 41992 Loc: Beautiful Western Maryland...z...	I don't think so...too bad there isn't huh? I also crochet a super tight stitch that isn't very holy at all.....I did Bills blanket like that and it's so heavy. _________________________ Praying hard for Bill.

Did you mean to say that it was "baby" yarn? Or is it really "bay" yarn? _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend...

loz loz Big Trouble Garden Helper Registered: 05/18/03 Posts: 41992 Loc: Beautiful Western Maryland...z...	Thanks Jess. I hope she likes it, and the colors.....I like the multi color yarn because I get bored just doing a solid color. Nope Lynne, not baby yarn....the actual color name on the tag is Bay Print. _________________________ Praying hard for Bill.

It's just that when I did a google search for "Red Heart Bay Print yarn" the other day, nothing came up except for "baby". Don't need the search now that you posted the picture. How's it coming? _________________________ ...... ... stated by a very wise friend... "well at least when you talk to yourself, you know the character of the person you are talking to!"
