SPECIAL NOTE: Craziebunny has also been awarded a Gold Medal due to special extenuating circumstances. She was without internet access and couldn't post herself that she had completed her challenge (10 star ornaments and 10 snowflake ornaments). A friend posted for her, but stated only that she had completed the snowflakes with no mention of the star ornaments, so craziebunny did not meet eligibility requirements for the prize drawing at the time we conducted the drawing.

I finished my H. bag on Aug 11, 2008 and originally posted it in the Team Accessories thread.
Okay I finally finished the bag and I am waiting for photobucket to upload the pictures of the bag before straps and lining and the finished project. I honestly did not think I would actually be able to do the bag this fast. But the marathon Sunday night helped.

Now I need to post the :photo here and untangle the mess at the end of this skein.

Photos:

I'm also making (but didn't list as a challenge) 2 HAP rectangles a day.

Congratulations!!!! I've added the first 3 medalists to the Gold Medalist list. We'll have medals for you soon. :hug

I finished my pineapple ghan last night. It didn't get as big as I had thought it would but I think it turned out pretty nice.

the stitch works up really fast( and i have a lot of time to crochet) but it took me a while to deal with the " join -as -you- go" aspect, thankfully the evenings have been cool enough for me to deal with the 'ghan on my legs- in fact it felt pretty good last nite!
with my challenge afghan finished i will make some scarves for the Special Olympics to stay in the "games " mode!

[AmyS]

I know everybody's excited about finishing the items that are just a PART of their challenge. :clap But since there are about 235 of you and only 1 of me, can I please ask that you only post in THIS thread once you've actually completed your entire challenge as shown in post 1 in the Athletes thread?

Otherwise, I'm not going to be able to keep up and I know I'll end up missing things and not giving some people the medals they deserve! :eek

So please post here only after you've completed your entire challenge, at least before the games are over. Once the games are over, you're then welcome to post your final update in this thread and let us know how much of your project you did or did not complete.

[AmyS]

Added everyone through here!

Now, for those of you who have finished your challenge early, I have an assignment for you. You can go be cheerleaders to help keep everyone else motivated and excited and hard at work on their assignments. :cheer:cheer:cheer

[kkms]

i finished my very first doily!!!!!! i am so happy. i even got it blocked - now that parts not perfect but hey i am only a beginner - i did not realize how big this would be when i chose it however i love love love it!! it ended up being about 20 inches across. (i need to find me one of them good blocking thingies)

now since i finished this up so early - i am continuing my challenge and going to keep doing doilies until the games are over!!! go me!!!!!!:cheeri am already half way through my second doily - but this one is a little smaller.

[DreamsOfYarn]

I can not believe I was able to finish all my projects already.
Then again, being on bed rest most of the time and having your DD go on a last minute vacation leaving you all alone gives you plenty of time to crochet.
Since I finished so early, I will continue to make scarves for charity, along with squares.

Here are the pictures of my finished projects:

[donnalynn2]

I cannot believe I finished mine!!! WOO-HOO! After many rounds of frogging and battling with 3 different strands of thread at once it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! In the end I opted not to do the sleeves because once I put it on and realized that the overhang of the shoulders came down to almost my elbows it would be silly to do sleeves (since I would have only made sleeves to the elbow anyway!) Like almost every other item I have made that requires a closure, I opted not to do a button and instead leave it alone and use a pin from my jewelry box. Everytime I do buttons, my crochet projects tend to stretch with time and the buttons aren't always in the right places and such so for me this is working the best.

Without further ado, here are the pics:

(P.S. Please forgive the unflattering pics. UGH! My DH always takes them at the worst possible angles!)

[Megananne3]

:( I'm out of the running! I was moving furniture at my brother's and smacked my funny bone while trying to nudge a door open. [there was nothing 'funny' about it!] I can only crochet a few rows before it gets too sore to keep going. Good thing I was entered as an individual and won't hurt any team standings.
I've checked the 'finished' posts in this thread, and the finished works are awesome! :cheer

[tris4crochet]

I did it! I didn't think I would be able to stick it out and make all 13 sets but I did. Wnded up being a great stash buster (added bonus) :cheer

Here is my finished afghan

Crocheted entirely while wearing a wrist brace for my tendenitis (Mispelled) LOL. It is 9 rows of 7 blocks across. I used the Fox's Young at Heart square pattern with a border on each square and simple granny's.

I hope the patriotic colors don't turn people from other countries off but I wanted to show my patriotism in a small way during the games.

I'm done! Two lapghans for Sissie's Seniors! Maybe during the next Games, my challenge will be to learn how to post pics. In my opinion, we are all winners!

[CrossB4Me]

Another completed project for Team Wearables!!Isn't is a great feeling to set a goal for yourself and complete it!!?? I never would have thought I'd be able to make a pair of socks I could actually wear that looked like something I could wear! And, I never thought I'd get DD's sweater pieced together. But, here they both are! Thank you for all of the encouragement to push me to do what I set out to do. The challenge was great and "Getting 'er Done" feels AWESOME!!

I am finished with both of my projects. I even had time to make a second hat for my husband.The lesson I have learned in doing this was that weaving end loose ends aren't that bad if you work as you go and not save them for last!lol.
I completed this afghan today.

Thank you crochetville.org for giving me an opportunity to say, :hug "THANK YOU" :hugto all the American Troops who keep our country safe.

[ThoseDarnPickles]

I am giving myself a SILVER medal. I know that I have 97% completed on the ghan for my nephew but I still need to complete 2 initial squares but she still won't tell me what the name is going to be until the baby arrives in September. So I know I won't be able to finish the ghan in time for the closing ceremonies. So SILVER it is! Thanks for this challenge! It was a Lot of fun! :hugOH and I can't post pictures yet, the camera is already packed for our move to Arizona! I'll see what I can do with the cell phone camera!

[mpmuskie]

I Did it! I finished my thread bookmark! And in the process discovered that I kinda like working with thread....even if it means I have o go a little slower lol.

It turned out to be 34" by 37" so probably a little too big for a frame and hanging on the wall. I may just put it on the antique rocking chair.

Thank you for hosting this for us all:hug:hug

[amdm]

I managed to complete my baby blanket by midnight on Saturday, but found it impossible to load it onto photobucket. For some reason my account is hanging, and not opening. This has never happened before, so I don't know what to do about it. You can imagine how bitterly frustrated I feel that this should have happened on the one occasion when posting on time is crucial.
Considering the effort I had made to get it finished on time, despite all the initial hurdles, I can only take this as a lesson that people in Third World countries should not attempt technology-dependent activities.

[LavenderRose]

I know I won't get the gold, but I still got more done than I thought I ever could without some sort of boost. I got 7 of my 8 kitty beds completed and started work on my last one, but I just won't get it done by the official end time, so I'll finish it up later tonight.

Here's my favorite:

Well here it is! I LOVE this afghan!! I am donating it to the House of Hope family shelter along with the scrap granny rectangle I finished a couple months ago and some scarves and hats.

This afghan is the Twilight Tapestry afghan in the Great Big Crochet Afghan Book by Needlecraft. I used variegated green/brown, off-white, and dark brown chenille. It is so soft and cuddly!

Yay for being done!

[busy-bee-lmt]

I succeeded! 2/3 of my qulitghan was completed and joined. (8 of 12 blocks) I took the last joining stitch just before the clock hit 11:00 am. It took an all-nighter to do it, but I succeeded. :woo:bow:woo

[RoseRed]

I missed the gold by 2 1/2 rounds. With Tropical Storm Fay and my carpel tunnel acting up I'm surprised I did as well as I did.

I'm just shy of 7 feet across which was my goal. I'll post a pic when I finish it up. Hopefully before dinnertime.

I finished a total of 62 preemie caps by Saturday night. Since my goal was 50, I definitely got the gold and just a little more. I don't have any pictures available as I dropped them off to my sister-in-law's house already.
Hooray!

[khemway]

I already posted in team unofficial, but I'll post here as I'm not sure how to medal myself.
I completed what I had of the pattern for my bagdelna bear. I seem to be missing the arms. I did the rest of it, somehow until I started to look at my project just a little while ago it didn't occur to me that she needed arms?!?
Since I am missing part of the bear, and technically it's because I'm missing part of the pattern, I'm going to claim either a silver or bronze... I'm not sure how to medal, so I'll leave that up to the judges. I'm happy with what I got done, I just have to find the pattern for the arms, to complete her when I get there.

[Midds]

I finished my project! I have a picture but I'm not sure how to attach it on here. It is saved in my pictures on my computer and don't know how to transfer it here. Once I figure it out I will update with a photo. :cheer

Sadly, I did not completely finish my project :(( I was doing the Cathedral Rose Window afghan). I'm about 95% complete. We left for vacation today so I had to pack for 2 adults and my 4 children so I lost some serious crocheting time! :knit When we get home, I will finish it off and post pics then!! Great job everyone!!

I guess I'll have to be a silver medal winner.... I made 9 blocks of 64 saltines each.... I did not however get it assembled before the deadline... it is complete now..

How ever I feel like I've accomplished Gold to think I made 576 2 1/2" squares in the length of these games is amazing to me

I will post photo when I find my cord..

I deleted my last post here since I wasn't really done yet, but I wanted to post that as of 9:30 this morning (EDT) I finished all my games projects. It was dicey with all the other stuff that cropped up the last two weeks, but I'm happy. Here are my projects. First two for FA Awareness, last one for Sissie's seniors.

GOLD!!!

[chsarrow]

I have about 8 rows to do on the lapghan and the border. I would say that is an Honorable Mention. It is really a GOLD to me! I said I was signing up hoping it would motivate me to get it finished so I can give it at Christmas. And it did! I would never have gotten this much done without the Crochet Games of Ancient Greece.

[tarastreet]

I got about 90 percent of my snowflake afghan done. I completed 49 of the 59 hexagons.

[katewaits]

Finished my lapghan this afternoon (Sunday) as I was watching the USA men's basketball game on tape. (Didn't know the result, so got to enjoy it as if it were live.)

Thank for the challenge. I know I would NEVER have gotten it done without the incentive - ESPECIALLY getting the sewing-in done.




Sincerely,
Kate Waits

[TammyG]

no medal for me :( Got 3+ panels donw on the quenn sized ghan. Have another 2/3 to do(suing bed to judge size) and put it all together and edge...But it was a very ambitious project for me and I got sidetracked with setting up my classroom fro school next week.. had fun tho'

[Captain Crochet]

I finished the body of my sweater and started on one sleeve.
I don't know what percentage that is.:think

:clap:clap:clap

[1Buttercup]

Bronze for me, I just couldn't pull it out even with a crochet marathon yesterday. Better luck next time.

Way to go everyone!

[CroJulee]

Craziebunnie asked me to post that she was done so I did but I don't see her name on the Gold list though. She's completely finished, just not able to get online though.

Thanks

Julee

[ponykeg]

Finished on Sunday, August 24 at 10:45am! That date and time shall remain with me forever! 100% completed and ready to wear! It's so warm...hope it gets cold enough to wear this year! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3113/2793789776_a8a03eca4e.jpg

[Robyn]

I got about 95% done. I got to the last strip of squares on my afghan and only need three more to be finished before sewing it all together and putting a sc border on it.

[smokeyp81]

I guess I am honorable mention. My bolero is about 85% done. I finally got all the squares joined and the ends woven in, but no border. I really think this is going to the frog pond. It is huge even before the border. My squares were the correct gauge....not sure what happened....

[crochettreasures]

Good morning everyone! GREAT WORK on all your projects!:clap:cheer

This was so much fun! but I'm only at honorable mention as I ran out of yarn 80% through my project and now have to find a shade that will work! (I tried to de-stash for this project, didn't work as I planned).

Congrats to everyone finished or not - this was a great way to watch the games.

[crazycrochet]

I made a baby RR out of the yarn left from my Colors of the Rainbow afghan. I finished it at 1:30 sat. afternoon. Can it count for team baby? Pic to come soon.

[Crochet_Gram]

Well I got all but part of the edging done, I didn't crochet at all yesterday due to a pailfule cut on my hook hand, so I figure a silver medal will have to do this time.

[Navymomx2]

I got all 3 of the Cradle Purses done and my very 1st Doll Dress. Below are the final results. I was beginning to wonder if I would get everything completed but in the end it came together. 100% for me, Woo Hoo :clap

[appy_lover]

Well I think I feel like I am 90% complete. My tote is mostly full, 1 more item might have finished it off.
So I am giving myself a Bronze. Than you for running this competition, I really enjoyed the challenge. I was so close...

ALL POSTS BEFORE THIS POST ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZE DRAWINGS.

[SweaterGrrrl]

I was going for the gold, but then Life showed up! I was good the first week or so, but then got caught up in some deadlines for other projects. It was fun, though. Thanks!

[princessmwm]

I finished my desk doilie!!!!! it looks soooo cool!!! i will post pics as soon as i can!!!!

[kel]

Lost my mojo due to junky yarn in one of my homsepun skeins. GRRR~! But the good news is I am very nearly finished and that is a record for me on an afghan! So thanks again for putting this together, it has been a great challenge and shown me just how much I can get done in a short amount of time.

[CroJulee]

Craziebunny still hasn't been added to the Gold list and I won't give up till she's been added. She worked hard for that medal.

Thanks

Julee

[Snikki28]

Hey there,

I didn't see my name in the Gold Medal post. I finished mine and posted pics on Saturday.


Thanks,

Nicole

I just finished going through every post and cannot figure out where my other post went. I posted in Team Filet (which is there) and in here. *pout* I really wanted to be in the prize drawings too. *sniff*


OKAY!!! A fellow 'Ville member steered me in the right direction. Evidently I posted in Team Filet and instead of the medal status thread I posted my finished object in Team Christmas ! LOL SOOOOOOOO that being said, guess I missed the drawings. What a goob I am. But I really did enjoy the challenge, and thread is a SERIOUS challenge for me, factor in filet. I'm very proud of what I did and received many compliments when I took the FO to work with me. Congrats to all who participated!!

[redpuppydog]

aw, man, i thought we had till the 28th..........

not done.
close, but not done.

:(
about 75% done I guess.
rats..........

[whistler42]

The Well Traveled Bag morphed into a purse instead. This was my first attempt at a bag/purse. My mom loves it and has asked me to make one for her. :cheer

I got the shrug done for my daughter however I did not complete the hat. I have to finish putting the brim on. I am a little disapointed in myself for not not finishing the challange. However I did get more done then I think I would have had it not been for the Challange Thank You!!!!!

[Deedles]

I finished my project with only two minutes to go when they distinquished the flame. It's a grand bag and challenged me all the way. We have been out of town without computer access and hope that I'm too late to win my medal. Thanks.

Thanks, I really want that gold medal! Was I supposed to post a photo? Thanks.

OOPs, I posted it on page 18 of the Let the Games Begin thread. I didn't know where else to post it since I was done before the flames were out. I didn't want a prize, just recognition for the gold medal work I did. Nothing fancy.

How do you get to put the medals has your avatar?
Never mind..I figured it out. Sorry!

[CraftyGal]

I finished my cupcake purses and mini ladies..Just finished at 4:30am and been trying to figure out how in the world I uploaded to photobucket before..It says I have an error..Anyway, I have Kodak Gallery..I'll keep trying to post pics..But I get GOLD!!!!..Debra

Figured out the problem: I have to use the old uploader on photobucket for whatever reason..Here's my Challenge link..How do I resize this?? :cheer

Here is step 1: Click on resize and choose the size you want.

Here is Step 2: Click on the size you want, in my example it was medium. A pop up will as if you are sure you want to do this, if so click on yes.


Step 3 takes you to the size of photo that you chose.
