W.i.p Wednesday!

So, its wednesday.... time to report works in progress.

I have 12 socks I have to make for BGS - 12 crocheted mini purple socks - one down 11 to go.

I also have still not finished the Waldo sq. I know.....grrrrr. up to the colour change now....

Also, my tea swap parcel is just missing an address and then its ready too!

Lots of W.I.Ps & UFO's here!

Thursday Squared! !!

Hey guys!

So, still in hospital,  still sick, & still hooking!!!!

Today's sq is known as "Waldo's Puzzle"  by designer Chris Simon.
(I'll put a link here later......)

I made one of these sq's back in 2008, & I liked it back then, and decided to use it in the OBP rug for Pax Lodge.

Now, the reason why the links are silver and gold? Easy - a well known campfire song for Girl Guides & Girl Scouts is "Make new Friends". The words being:

"Make new friends,
& keep the old.
One is Silver
& the other Gold.

A cirlce is round
& has no end.
Thats how long I want
to be your friend! "

This sq is PERFECT as a symbol for this campfire song.

I will make two of it,  so I can include the best in the rug and keep the other for me.

Also, for those who are concerned, yes the hospital has legionnaries,  I do not.

That DAMM trefoil sq!!!!

Hey everyone, 

I'm still in hospital. .... and when I'm in. Hospital I start to go a little "stir-crazy"...

Now, most people who read this know about "THE RUG"

I decided, as when I was rushed to ER  and admitted I had some stash in my bag, to start  with the patterns I had and get going.

Now, I love Ravelry, and some of the ladies on their are amazing at designing.  However I cant seem to get this pattern right..... so no offense to the original designer, but I'm rewriting the pattern.

Below are pics from the last two days of fighting with "the trefoil"

(&yes, I blocked the sq on the chair next to my bed)

Till next time,

Hookiquette

So, still in hospital,  but feel my mojo is coming back, so I'm back on my ONP rug.

Starting with the four trefoil sq's, I am using mama24boyz's Irish Pride pattern (available on Ravelry).

I have made before with some small issues, so am making changes as I go, and will send them to mama24boyz's when I'm done.

This is also a good time to practisey own personal "Hookiquette" or hook etiquette. 

Rule One- Always center-pull the yarn skein/ball.

Rule Two - always work in you ends as they come up.

I fell apart when it came to rule two today - as it shows in the pic.
The left shows the trefoil WITHOUT the ends woven in, the right with the ends in. The left feels like I'm working with an octopus! !!! Too many loose ends. It was fixed after I took the pic .... but I've learnt my lesson.

Anyway,  still got a long way to go.

Hugs,
Lizi

Hedgehog time......

So I am back in the hospital again.  Third ER visit this wk, finally admitted.

I've had so many needles this wk.
4 in the ambulance tuesday night. One in er that night, 4 in ER last night night and one more today. I hate needles. Makes me feel like a hedgehog (hence this posts title)

Sorry if my grip on the English language is lacking right now. I'm tired and disoriented and frankly don't give a damm.

I hope to finish my OBP work while I'm in, but we'll see.

Figures, I go into hospital and the rain stops.

hey guys

hey guys,

sorry I have been MIA the last few days - been really sick - seems the winter weather and I have had a disagreement. I want to stay alive, it wants me dead :(

anyways, I may be MIA for the next few days, as my asthma is playing up and I feel that a hospital trip may be in order.

don't worry, the rug is still happening! just cant see for coughing.

The rug - part 1

THE rug!

So, I am making a rug to go to Pax Lodge, the WAGGGS house (World Centre of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) in the Uk.

Here is the design so far




and that would be me, still getting used to the webcam.

So, on top of Cold sheeping, i also have to get this rug made by the beginning of 2015.

Lets see if it happens huh?
