Hi to all:

I'm looking to see how many here are cow lovers and or collect cow items..I'm one of them and my entire home is all cow decored...

So If any of you have any cow patterns, no matter wheather its a afghan or stuffed toy , or a kitchen item, pertaining to cow and would love to sign up to begin in January 2007 you may sign up here.

If you don;'t have any cow patterns you can do a search on the net there are a few freebies and some for patterns for sale.

Those of you that have Crochet World issues they have some cow patterns .... Say even in e-pattern central they have some cow patterns for 99 cents and I even plan to purchase them for my collection so check it out ...

Here is a photo of a cookie jar I have made. So grab your hooks and look for patterns and we will be on to a great start soon.

A solid MAYBE!

I'm not into cows myself but I have a friend that just loves them. I have some patterns but I'll have to check and see which are crochet (I also knit). I would like to do a moomooo CAL next year.

I'll probably join, but I might not join until February. I want to complete a pullover between Christmas and a late January vacation.

There's a few cute cow patterns on this page, and one is a freebie. I'll probably make the toaster cover, and I may break down and buy the kitchen set.

Thank you lady bebop for the link ... I personally have ordered these cow patterns and let me tell you they are great set to have...

Thanks for the link I made the kitchen toaster cover too I will take a photo this weekend and post it here to keep getting ladies on a mooving path to signing up for 2007...

As for the cow cookie cover, I made that one from another crochet pattern set I will look up which company so if any of you want to order it you may.

Then again I know there is a piggy one online some where for free and all you would have to do is change the features of the mouth and the colors of course and make a cow ... this one pictured here was made using a large can of coffe and you have to save the lid too that is for the cover...
I will look for the info this weekend and post again..

Thanks for the interest and wanting to join.. I hope that you all can post photos when you complete the cows... I'd love to see what we call can come up with..

You would think with living on the family Dairy Farm my house would be decorated with Cows, but it's not. I did entered a stuffed toy cow in a Needlework Contest. Pattern from an Annie's Attic Crochet Club years ago. Sorry that I can share the pattern. A picture is in my photobucket. If I find any "freebies" I'll be sure to let you know! :mcow

Oh am i IN my two year old knows what a cow sounds like and knows where the cows are when we are driving. Today he was saying cow and horsie. If someone can find a stuffed cow big enough for him to carry around that would be great. There most be a pattern out there somewhere. Someone i know crochets the teenage trutles and a dog that my son has that looks like the real thing This would be my first stuffed animal . There will be i lot of pieces to make and put together will I will try, and start crocheting it on jan. first.

This will take you to the Udderly Silly scarf pattern at freepatterns dot com

http://www.freepatterns.com/categories/index.php?catid=crochet&subcatid=wearables&RECORD_INDEX%28patterns%29=101

A very interesting scarf. 3rd down on the right side

have fun ladies..there is a cow in a milk can cow in home decor as well

That's an awesome pattern! However, I created a really cool Cow Scarf for my swap partner during the Autumn Secret Pals (as she loved cows) and it's actually got a cow's head on one side of the scarf, utters and a tail on the other and spots in the middle! It actually turned out adorable and I plan on selling my pattern. If anyone is interested in seeing it or the pattern let me know as I haven't had it tested yet so maybe someone here would like to test it for me (that way you get the pattern for free!)

Donna:

Also I would love to test that pattern for you , being i'm a cow lover and collector and all... I want in on testing that for you.. she sounds adorable.
I get first bids on testing....

I found this pattern today at Drops - it has a really neat cow graph at the end that someone might want for this CAL. This may be a knitted pattern but the graph doesn't know that and we could be really daring and just crochet it. :lol

http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=b6&d_id=24&lang=us

I would like to see this as crochet - could be fun.

I made a cow potholder to send to my friend for Christmas. It turned out pretty good. Since I don't have a digital camera, I scanned it but the picture is too big to post. I tried to use the online resizer (listed in the board rules) but I only get a small portion of the picture. Any one know of another way I can get it the proper size?

darski

January 1, 2007, 01:48 AM

I just use paint.net for my resizing. It is a freebie program version of MS paint tht Bill Gates let a uni class design and create.

I'm not sure if Picassa does resizing but I would guess that it does

Photobucket also resizes for you

darski

January 1, 2007, 01:53 AM

I have to do something for this CAL. It is simply required and that is that!

I even have my Y avatar dressed and set for this CAL. that is above and beyond the call eh?

January 3, 2007, 09:39 PM

Hi Melannie: I got the Mary maxim kit and it is for 2 lovely cows.. As a matter of fact the prices was great and I already got it and have begun them.
Check out my prior posts here and it will give you the item number in case you want to get it... Well worth the price.
PM me if you have any questions.

I am not doing this...but had to chime in. A couple of years ago I made the cow cookie jair for my sis. She is a cow FREAK! Then we got into a gag war. I HATE the energizer bunny!! So she kept sending me stuff that was either him or pink rabbits. So I got my revenge and took a Hello Kitty backpack pattern and made the cow face from the cookie jar and made her a cow purse. It came out really cute. Somewhere I think I have a pic. I wrapped it up in some cow fabric I had leftover and kept sending her wierd emails. She didnt know what to expect. Was fun. I am also a sewer so I made her a cow dress as well. Maybe i do need to join this. Has been awhile since I sent her something cow. Think I have a pattern I havent made yet just sitting around waiting on me as well. Hmmm will have to go looking.

February 25, 2007, 04:06 PM

Hello ladies:

This is so weird! I was just looking at something cow the other day and wondering about this CAL and here with are with a revival going on! (can I get an amen :wlol )

I haven't forgotten that I want to make a cow 'something'. Maybe a baby bib... yeah I have a great pattern and there must be a baby in need of a bib somewhere.

July 4, 2007, 05:47 PM

Okay. Well I guess I technically never joined this CAL, but... :think I did place a bid for a 'kitchen cow' crochet book, and I am *thinking* about making some cow slippers, too. Maybe.... Well anyway this is the 'Goofy Looking Cow' of KristieMN's that I just finished sewing the eyes on. I think he's adorable! I want one for myself.

I finally got this bib finished but it didn't quite look like I thought it would.
I might try it again and see if I can improve it.

The original looked good so you can't blame them for my poor performance.
