Christmas Gifts 2006- Along

[jadyn05]

I don't know if it's too early for this, but the post about what everyone was making for Christmas got me thinking, that maybe a Christmas Gifts CAL would be a good idea... am I even allowed to start a CAL?

If i'm not i guess this will be removed

Anyway, I've started on my gifts for the holiday season, and as it's July have a hard time being 'christmasy' already, but I'm pluggin along.... anyone wanna join me and keep eachother updated on our progress and such?

If so, grab a and jump on in!

If i made this right... here is the button: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...tmasbutton.jpg

Ada, I think that I would be interested in this cal. I have a lot of things going but that is normal with me. I am always ready to get on somthing else. I don't think that it is too early to start.

I have a WIP that falls into this category. It's the Plaid blanket from the Blue Ribbon Afghans from America's State Fairs book. The receiver knows he's getting it, but that's because it's got 16 balls of yarn attached and is too hard to hide.

I'm about 1/10th of the way done the main part. There's a several rows of border around it after that.

I'd like to join. My Quilt CAL is going to be a christmas gift and my coworker and I were talking about our lists yesterday and she mentioned how she would like a doily (so now I have 4 I need and I think I have 1 or 2 done and 1 in process). Plus all the other things on my list I want to crochet but don't know if I will. So this will help me get things done.

I'm in!! This will be my first CAL. I am soooo excited! I am planning on making pillows for my neices and great-neices (5 in all). The front of each pillow will be their initial done in filet crochet and the pillow itself done in satin in a contrasting color. Then I will probably edge them with some sort of novelty yarn, something for a little girl's rooms. I do have to finish my bedspread first, but it shouldn't take me very long....I hope.

I'd like to join...I'm making some friends an afghan for Christmas out of Wool-ease Chunky--I'm using some of the square patterns from the 63 Square Crochet-Along, but modified for the thicker yarn. It's going to be more of a blanket than an afghan at this point, seeing as it's so thick.

I'm taking a bit of a break right now, due to my tendonitis, but as I'm steadily improving, I may just try to sew together some of the squares tonight, as sewing doesn't seem to aggravate my arm.

This will be my really and truely first CAL!

Here are a pile of squares that I have made up for my niece. I was doing really well and then lost interest. Haven't touched them in months.

My niece is 19 and her birthday is December 22nd. I wanted to do something special for her this year because lately we haven't been paying as much attention to her birthday at Christmastime as we should have.
I never made her an afghan before but did so for her brother.

I figure that I need 20 squares. I've got 10. I was even thinking of making the next ten in the solid white and just patterning them as I put it together !!

So I'm all set for this CAL! I'll start this weekend.
