[Lillianpearl]

Wow. That's all i have to say. I may or may not have spent the last three days reading every every page in this thread.

The bad news is I'm between 20 and 50% done with 10 projects, so I probably won't have any of them done by the end of January. The good news is I should have 10+ projects done by the end of February!

Good luck everyone, I'm so glad to be part of this! You guys all have amazing projects, I'm desperately jealous of your mad skillz

SilverMoon; am I imagining things or is that Darth Vader? 

[Kittymom13]

that's what I thought, too, Vamped!  I think it looks very kewel!!! keep going!  We want to see it done!! =]

eclecticdreamer  the bobby pins are very interesting...I think they'd be pretty in hair!  I like'd having long hair and putting it up..that could jazz up an updo nicely.  Doesn't the wire pull hair out??  *ouch!*

I need new glasses, until vampedangel said something I thought it was a video game controller. I hope I never have to pick anyone out of a police lineup 

SilverMoon, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles! Yesterday I frogged a dishcloth I was more than halfway through with. It was only an hour's work, nothing near yours, but I've been there and it really blows.

I finally paused long enough to take some photos of what I've made so far this year. I'm gonna repost my list, too, 'cause it's changed a bit.

Photo box for Michael


Dish and spoon for Elora


Crochet hat for Atticus


Catnip eyeballs for Beth


I also made a nursing cover, but forgot to take a picture of that!    And since Monday was a snow day, I spent most of it cleaning my craft room. Two bags of garbage, three bags for Salvation Army and a huge pile of paper stuff for recycling ... and I'm only about half done with the cleaning!

I LOVE the dish and spoon!!

Photo hosting is not working for me at the moment, I will try again tomorrow, but today I got all the pieces for my nieces quilts cut!

Here are the action pictures of the shrug.  It'll fit my SO's mom a little differently because she's smaller than I am but I hope she like it.

Could you PM me with a best route for shrugs. I can crochet, but haven't in years. I would love to try one of these, but the patterns I see might me a bit complicated. I know how to increase/decrease, and can follow the simple single, double crochet stuff. Do you know an easy pattern I can get for these? And using scrappy yarn colors (stripes like you have done)? I still have some yarns to destash from years ago, and need a shoulder warmer for winters.

Your version looks great. I hope it is well received!

 Thanks!
