Share time! What crochet and/or knitting projects are you working on right now?
Hiya Barbara, Well, (and that's a big well), I'm now working on a bolero with thread and a steel hook.. I haven't used those in a while,(A long while), so it has been a bit trying to accomplish this.. The pattern is not to friendly so I have been taking it out a few times and starting over.. I do hope I can complete this item..I may have to ask Larissa for some assistance since she works with thread for her doilies...Teresa
I haven't been able to do to much crocheting lately I am still working on a scarf for the last month for my Grandson. MY husband just won't let me crochet, if he sees me sit down and pick up my hook he always asks me to do something. I sat down yesterday and got a couple rows done. I am just so depressed over him I almost lost the enjoyment I use to have when I crochet.
But I did see a pretty scarf that Amray posted the otherday, that actually has given me a spark to want to do something, so I think I will just start on it and put the scarf I am crocheting for my Grandson, away for awhile.The colors are so drab and since this is for a girl and can use some pretty bright colors maybe it will inspire me.
I just finished about 4hats one has a mesh hat and scarf to match---i have accumalated a lot of small balls so I need to crochet them into my raggani also have a pile of granny squares to sew together---thats all folks
Hiya Meerkat, I'm so sorry about your situation with your husband.. Will he not compromise with your time? Hugs, Teresa
My husband is bedridden and his mind is going. Sometimes he acts normal then there is times when he acts like a 2 year old. He hates me to pay any attention to anything but him.
Hiya Meerkat, I am so very sorry.. It must be very difficult for you...Hugs, Teresa
I just finished two lap robes and one hat for hobby club meeting on Tuesday. Now I am doing a join as you go afghan using 42 grannies, two ripples and one diagonal afghan. I always have multiple projects going at the same time.
MeerKat, my thoughts and prayers are with you right now. It is very difficult to try and reason with someone when they become agitated and demanding but hopefully, you can try (I know, easier said than done) to take a little time for yourself and just take deep breaths and stay strong.

Hi MeerKat I will be praying. It has to be so hard. I will pray for strength for you. I will also ask God to give you His peace and Joy. That is how I feel different times ---I just want to be at peace and have a little fun. God Bless and Keep you my friend.
I am crocheting a few things actually, here are the things I can think of off the top of my head:
A purple afghan for myself, my own pattern that I am in the process of copyrighting.
Some baby booties, making my own pattern for them
Some granny square beanies
A granny square throw or afghan, not sure which one yet
A "Jesus Loves the Little Children" throw
A throw with a cross in the center
A baby afghan for the start of a baby layette {will also include a baby beanie, booties, and a shirt, and maybe a diaper cover}
That's all I can currently think of, I may have more projects started, but I'd have to look for them.
Hiya Rogue, They are lovely.. I really wish I would of taken pictures of all of my items... From now on I will...TY for posting...:) Teresa
I am working on a dafodil afghan and Red Hearts crochet along texture squares afghan at the same time. Hope to post to pics when I'm done.
Hiya Pat, I look forward to seeing your posts...:) Teresa
I have put aside my current WIPs to make a baby blanket for a micro-preemie born to a family in our town.
She was born at 24 weeks and one pound 2 oz. They post updates and call the site reach for the stars lexi storm
and call her their little lion.I have made one square a lion and it will be one of the bottom corners, her
name will go on the other bottom square. The top 2 squares will be covered with coloured stars. When I finish that I will get back to my first 4 needle knit convertible mitts for my son-in-law for next Christmas and an embroidery of names
and date in hearts for my future daughter-in-law to sew into the lining of her wedding dress in Sept.
I am currently working on 2 knit projects: shawl & scarf. Also have two crochet projects: both afghan but one is made using a G hook and baby yarn, the second one is super bulky with a P hook. I work on a couple of projects a day. How do others manage their projects or do you only have one going at a time?
Just finished a grey scarf, beige pair of leggings and almost done with a grey pair of leggings. Then I have a hoodie sweater to make for my grandson and then a sweater for granddaughter. My daughter keeps me in many projects. She is good to send me pictures of something she sees and then wants me to try to make them for her. I have a niece expecting a baby in June so I will need to get going on a sweater set or layette for her as well.
After making my first sweater set I'm working on a few photo prop items Thing 1&2 hats,owl hat and bootie set going to try and make a bib to match,hula skirt and I just finished a dress set.I need to get it all crocheted and photos taken before March 13th as that is when it will start it's journey to cali for my niece.Am going to try and make a few more items to toss in Will post pictures when done and I can
Currently working on two KALS and a CAL. The KALS are a shawl called Hypernova in Frolicking Feet Handpaints Rugosa Ridge, which is driving me insane and which I doubt will be finished by the March 31 deadline and a lovely scarf called HiyaHiya Waves in Malabrigo worsted Tuareg, my first attempt at cabling. The CAL is Red Heart's current afghan project of texturized squares. Just finished the cutest knitted mitts in Berroco Folio called Alyssum Fingerless Mitts.
Hi Barb, Actually I have two projects I'm working on, Large size blanket That my son has been trying to get away from me for the past 3 years...lol and now he has a new child on the way, so I am going to have to put that blanket on hole once again to start a new baby blanket for the new addition to the family, wish me luck guys...lol
Best of luck on both the new baby blanket and the Large size blanket!!!
Hiya Ladies, Now I'm still working on my bolero, but also those square and premie hats.. :) Teresa
I generally have several projects going at once and try to work on two or three everyday. Since I'm retired I have plenty of time on my hands so I try to spend at least an hour on each of two or three projects daily. Plus I go to four knitting/crochet groups every week and work on my projects with friends.
A crochet buddy and I have been working on a new afghan pattern. We had no pattern, only a picture to try and reproduce by so it is a trial and error. Doing a lot of frogging to get the INC. worked out as it is a circular pattern. But we are meeting three days a week to both work on it and work out in the gym together.
Also have been making crochet hats for the kindergartners in a local grade school.

None! I'm not crocheting or knitting right now. I went through my fabric stash (too much fabric) and choosing some to make some quick tops for the summer.
Hiya dragondrummer, Wow, It sounds like you have a full schedule.. I'm sure your items are all great..:) Teresa
Hiya Judi Gums, That's the way I do crocheting and knitting.. It never fails that I omit some of the directions, and go for what I think should be done.. :) Teresa
I am crocheting a few things; a sweater for my husband, and Lace and pearl baby booties. I have just finished in the last month a round blanket and a prayer shawl and a ant for my grandson. [ATTACH][ATTACH]Attachment 7641[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]
Dear Rogue Hobbies
How does one go about copy righting a pattern?
I would appreciate any help with this as I too design my own patterns.
Charlye
Hiya charlye, If I am not mistaken, you need to hire a patent attny..:) Teresa
I am working on a kittycorner mile a minute. I made one before but it
has been a while so I am trying it again. I am running out of the one
color so need to go get some more. It is a Red Heart yarn and
Jo-Ann is out of it too. So have to try to check it out here in town.
teresah
thanks I will check in to that.
I am doing this on my tablet and the space bar don't always
work or I am not hitting it hard enough
Hiya Charlye, I hope you find it.. You may try on E-bay or Anazon.. They usually have many item I can't locate either...:) Teresa
I am working on a poncho. It is a 1970's pattern. I just finished a lacy hat. I hope things get better for you MeerKat. Maybe a pattern change and bright colors will help.
Thanks, Teresa! Just got an Iphone and hope to get some pix posted as soon as I figure out how to use it. :-)Quote:

Hi jjbreeze30,
Nice work!

I am working on an afghan. The yarn I started with, well, most stores didn't seem to have it so I ordered the yarn online. I also started another one which I don't know if it will be a afghan or not. It's the size of a small pillow right now.

I am currently crocheting a baby blanket for our granddaughter's baby and knitting a circular lace shawl for myself. I still knit and crochet hats for Knots of Love, so I always have a project in the works.
Hi Jean Marie, sounds like you are busy. I enjoy Crocheting. My grandson loves for me to make him things like stuffed animals. I get the magazine "Crochet World". He looks at the magazine first and says make me this one mamaw.
