Hi Naida-

I don't know if I want to join right now, I have TOO much going on right now. :sweat But, I thought you might be interested in a free pattern in the "Back to School" theme, I left a post on your message board, too. It's a 'Pencil Bookmark' (crocheted). It is on my pattern blog (link below). Have Fun with your KCAL. :D

I am working on a sweater for each of my kids. So I guess I could join to show off and get some opinions.

[crazy crocheter]

I think I'm going to make a pink pencil holder for my sister's desk.
I have this ball of pink that is driving me nuts!

[naidascrochet]

great, thanks for signing up stacey, stephanie & smartcat:hook this is gonna be fun

crazy crocheter, turning that pink yarn into a pencil holder sounds like a good idea.;)

I know what you mean about the kids fighting all summer long...my two little ones drive me nuts, the fight like cats and dogs :kick
I'm going to make them each a sweater.

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry I've been away. I've been doing stuff at my Church this weekend.
My Dad was going to throw away and old pair of jeans but I took them and I've been cutting them into strips ant rolling it all into a ball. I think I'm going to make a hat for myself once I finish getting it all cut and rolled up.
How is everyone elses Back to school projects going?

[lovelyscrubs]

can i i join:clap :clap

[naidascrochet]

hi crazy crocheter, that sounds like a good idea, cutting up the jeans and making 'a ball of yarn' out of them...I never would have thought of that.:compute

I'm making sweater for my kids. Halfway done with my sons.
A few of the others have finished their items already. They've done beautiful work.
welcome lovely scrubs!!! have fun crocheting along with us.:cheer

Hi All-
So this week is truly back to school for me (Tuesday is my first class!!!:clap ) And after going to the rec center last week I noticed that I need some sort of water bottle holder that can be moved on and off easily of the side bars of the treadmill. They have little bottle holders built into the treadmill but I have a large 34 oz plastic bottle. I was thinking of crocheting something then lining it with fabric so I can fold it up into my bag when I leave the gym. Creativity is passing me by on this one, any ideas?

Amanda:hook

[crazy crocheter]

Welcome lovely scrubs! It is good to have you with us. I'm making a hat and scarf for my younger brother. I'm not very good at bookmarks. The scarf is double crochet and the hat is a beret done in single crochet.
Great job on your projects!

[naidascrochet]

hi Amanda, how was school? I found
these water bottle carrier patterns, but I dont know about lining them with fabric, I guess you could try to

Thanks for the links Naida! School was overwhelming!!! I have so much to read it is crazy but I gues what does one expect when getting an MA in Lit. I estimate that on top of the 330 dollars I spent on books I will have to spend 100 dollars in copies!:(

Thank goodness for my crochet to keep me sane!

Amanda

[crazy crocheter]

I frogged the beret because it wasn't going like I wanted it too so now I just have a scarf I'm working on. It is going really well and once it is finished I'm going to fold it in have and sew it together so it is like a tube. It should be really warm for this coming winter.

[naidascrochet]

wow Amanda, good for you. best of luck with school, its a long road but well worth it. I know what you mean, crochet keeps me sane too...;)

crazy crocheter, sorry ya had to frog the beret, but the scarf sounds like its coming along nicely.

I'm still working on my sons sweater, one half of it is done, but I need more black yarn.:scrachin

have a good weekend everyone,
naida

[crazy crocheter]

but I need more black yarn.:scrachin

Looks like you're going shopping!

Scarf is just about halfway done and then depending on how much yarn (and patience) I have left, I'll see about redoing the beret for him.

[naidascrochet]

my sons sweater ins finally finished.

I'm so bad when it comes to long projects, I have no patience!
The sweater is ok, I wish I'd used a nicer color though, I just kept this one black. I'm going to make a poncho for my daughter next.

Hi all, just a note to say that the CAL/KAL project has changed. Feel free to take a look at our current project...can you guess what it is??:skeleton
:jack

Of course, if you are still working on the back to school theme, (I am still working on hats & scarves for my kids myself), thats fine. I just figured when I started this CAL/KAL I'd change the theme every once in a while to keep it interesting :) I dont want anyone to think I am trying to rush.

Hey that's pretty strange. I just got done completing 6 dishcloths while helping out at my mom's while she's recoupin'. I tossed one her way before I left and she want bonkers. I have a feeling it will never touch dishes. :)

[naidascrochet]

really? It seems most of my fam and friends always want my kitchen stuff.
My mom went to visit family for vacation and she asked me for a few of my kitchen sets to take as gifts.

When my neighbor first came over she also saw my kitchen crochet and requested a set.:manyheart
