you only have to know how to make a simple chain stitch for the RHS very easy


Just a Reminder for the thread Please keep all trade/selling talk to the fsot forum or pm`s please

alright..... thought it was okay since theres only like 3 of us in here today. hehe

[AlJo]

Oops...sorry

I'll PM you in a bit

Sooo...hmmm...I'm bored and should clean the house. When DH is gone it gets to tornado hit it status.

It is so nice outside here today! When DD gets up from her nap I think I'll take her on my run. Anyone else have changing/falling leaves already? It started here 2-3 weeks ago. I'm guessing all of our trees will be bare in 2 weeks, which makes me sad (I'm at 7500 ft., though). I loooove fall

No not at all. The RHS pattern is really simple. The lace part is simple too, but if youve never done a lace pattern before I would suggest maybe not trying to do it while watching tv at the same time lol. And I dont plan to do the crochet edge around any of mine


Here is the semisolid purple and red that I did yesterday. The pictures suck bc its with my cell. Both of them are darker and more shiny IRL lol. And my dog made a tangled mess of the purple



Ill get the other two pictures later when they are dry enough to reskein.

Wow

We're supposed to get down to the 60's next week. It's been high 80's lately, so it'll be a nice change. And most of the rest of my longies should be done / OTW soon, so the timing is perfect. Errr... Gabe's longies

Me too! I'm getting nervous that it's going to go from hot to really cold and we won't get any 50s/60s weather.

6! Wow. That sounds like here in the winter. One winter we didn't get over 10 degrees (at any point) for 6 weeks and had many days with -40 at night. It was awful. I can't imagine how cold it gets where you are!

Thanks! I actually bought the pattern a month or so ago and then got scared, lol. Maybe I'll have to give it a go. It's so cute.

I love your yarn! They turned out great!
