a *afghan-blanket-lapghan* "thread"

YarnWright spun a FINE 'yarn':

I continually make lapghans for the VA Veteran's Home in Murfreesboro, AND I make afghans/lapghans to sell. Noreen

----------- Noreen, I have an afghan about 1/3 done that I am knitting. I sure prefer crochet for afghans/lapghans but I am knitting about everything else these days.

Current projects underway

Afghan 1/3 done (mostly moss stitch so it is mindless)

4 scarves in various completion stages for kids at school Starting a sweater with a pattern I got for Christmas in my Knitwit's book Finishing a cable scarf for myself Just bought some wonderful wool to knit a hat for myself (sage green and luscious)

Padishar Creel

Sudoku blanket 81 different squares 9 different designs in 9 colours

I've crocheted thirteen afghans so far this year and have four more going. Mine are going to Project Linus.

Hugs,

Nora

The ongoing selection of blankets/wraps for the stillborn baby charity. Sizes varying from 15 to 30 inches square. All made in pastel shades of 3 or 4ply or double knitting yarn. Mostly crochet, occasionally knitted and very occasionally Tunisian crochet (just depend what take me fancy when I'm starting a new one) Love & higs Christine

Was going crazy watching TV with no project so Friday went to local Walnart (new store) and got enough yarn to make two cape cod afghans. One started already.

Mike & Joan O'Brien spun a FINE 'yarn':

With CBS pre-empting just about EVERYTHING for B-ball..... (what the H***, there's college b-ball STATIONS *AND* ESPN, why does one of the 'regular' networks have to do this for a whole damned month????) ....I can totally empathize going crazy watching TV, esp. with no project, LOL! Hugs, Noreen

It's from a little booklet that came with one of my knitting magazines called simply knitting. I looked on the web page but couldn't see a picture of it sorry

Oh cool! I'd love to see a picture of this when you're done!

Not all of us have cable/satellite/whatever, Noreen! So the "regular" channels are our only option for watching this or whatever other sporting events we want to see :) It made me so sad last year when all the Red Sox games moved to cable :( Now the only time we get to watch them is when we go to the games themselves (which is still fun but a little less enjoyable since I am not as familiar with the players, having never actually seen them before!).

LauraJ

on and off for 4 years! made it a bit bigger than the instructions said, just in case DH "borrows" it. I figure if it covers him (he's 5' 11") the blanket will keep me very warm (i'm 5' 2")..I started calling it "The thing that ate the chair", then it ate the couch, and now it's eating the queen size bed! LOL

turns up some interesting color combos.

Yes, but the Red Sox didn't HOG the entire network for a MONTH straight, did they? True, not everyone has cable or satellite, I agree, but a month of college B-ball makes me puke...... Noreen

X-No-Archive:yes

Yes, I'm working on my third one for Project Linus this year - same old ripple afghan and I always send along a little hat as well' Joan in CT.
