What Would You Like To Accomplish for The Holidays? - Participation Thread
This is the thread to post your answers for the Crochet Talk Contest. To see the rules for the contest see here: http://crochettalk.com/main/8899-wha...html#post99356
1. Do you have any goals for crocheting for Halloween or Thanksgiving? For those who do not celebrate these holidays - what would you like to accomplish by the end of October or November? This can be to learn something new in crocheting between now and then, or what projects you would like to finish before then.
2. What goals do you have for crocheting for Christmas or Hanukkah? For those who do not celebrate these holidays - what would you like to accomplish by the end of December? This can be to learn something new in crocheting between now and then, or what projects you would like to finish before then.

First, I am far away from my family so I do not celebrate the hollidays in October and November. But I am going to try to make a Noah's Ark afghan by the end of October for a baby that is due that month and also finish the two vests that I had started Last spring.
Second, I want to make several three dimensional snowflakes and some Angels to give as presents. I have already made corner bookmarks. If I have time at least one afghan to send to my grandaughter.

Well, I'm the one who is working towards opening a store on Bonanza, and I'm almost there. I'm currently working on photos, so I'm hoping that by October I'll have my store open. I also want to crochet some larger pumpkins (I've done 2" to 4" ones). By the beginning of December I want to have my website up and a lot of my crochet thread ornaments in my store. The ornaments have already been crocheted, they just need to be stiffened and decorated. My husband has been playing "Mall Santa" for quite a few years now, so Christmas day is for collapsing. Last year I worked with him in Vegas and I was just wrecked by Christmas. Even though we certainly could use the money, I'd rather be home working with my store and website than in the mall. Just have to see what happens!

Mainly I love to crochet doll, animals (which I give to kids, donation to church or who every wants them) also hats, booties(premie to adults). Pokémon dolls in sz. 10 thread (have photos in my Ravelry site) also make myself purses and a scarf once in awhile. Oh yes I crochet ornaments. So I keep myself busy.

1. I would like to finish the orange, yellow and white baby blanket by September 14th and then I would have four blankets to donate to Project Linus.
2. I want to start my Secret Santa project and have it done by November 1st.
3. I must get in the mail my gift for CT swap partner by early October.
4. I must order black/sequin/sparkly yarn to make a shawl for my daughter by late September so I can finish it by Christmas.
5. I have to check to see how many squares I have done for the 2014 Hooker's Mtg to be sure they are ready by January 1st so as not to worry about them getting done.
6. I want to try to crochet a small doily with thread.
7. I want to try the Spider Shawl stitch shawl again. I want to be like the Little Engine That Could, and say I think I can, I think I can and do it!

only for Christmas presents
I am making every one a pillow. All different patterns and colors.
I make scarf & mittens for our V.A. hospital (almost done with them).
I am also making the tie blankets for the nursing home I volunteer for .
And just found out a friend is having a baby. I would like to make myself a scarf & mittens for myself.
I'm tired just thinking of it. Ha Ha
