Christmas projects

[CalfeeChick]

Here you go. I redirected my energies from bicycling to crochet & knit projects. I made 9 afghans, 6 hats scarf & gloves.

If I didn't live in Florida I put in my order 😊

I still have 3 more I'd like to finish by Christmas, but the pictured projects all have to get sent to South Carolina and Virginia. I'm tired just thinking of getting those ready for shipping tomorrow 😊

You must be very talented and skilled at afghans! I used to make them but it was all I could do to turn out one in a year. Nowadays I crochet hats and sometimes scarfs.

Keep going agate, don't quit, anything you can do, do it, if not the monster wins. Blessings Jimeka

Post some pics agate

I love to stay busy and have tubs of yarn. I started this year to try and use up my existing yarn. I wound up with even more yarn because I can't tell myself NO to a great sale❤️😀

[CalfeeChick CommunityAmbassador in reply to agate]

agate Would love to see a post with a picture. Your works must be finer than mine. All I had when I went numb was yarn. No books📖 to read. I now have restocked all my yarn and have at least 350 books📚📔📖 by my favorite authors.

Wow l dont know how you find the time CalfeeChick ! Or how you can stay with it. Maybe l have add or something l get bored and stop, then fustrated with myself for not finishing the project. I need serious help. Ugh

They are absolutely beautiful! Wish you could teach me to crochet, I tried once -_-

[greaterexp]

What a worker you are! Great stuff!

[beadowns]

Beautiful accomplishments, Lynn. My hands don't work well, between lack of dexterity and strength, not happening. I've even asked a good friend to help me make drapes for downstairs. She's going to measure & cut, I'll do the actual sewing. Works for me! You truly do great work. I used to crochet & can't do that, either. Not depressed about it, can still do photography, so I do that. We should all try to take pleasure in what we CAN do and not focus on what we can't. Hugs, Bea

thank you! I'm impressed with your making draperies.. That's pretty dared awesome.. I tried to get all those projects done so hopefully all the grandbabies will have a legacy gift to remember Nana. Who knows what I'll be able to make in another year!? Got lots of yarn and it keeps me busy!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to beadowns]

You should post some pictures beadowns would love to see them!

[agate]

@CalfeeChick, I can't yet figure out how to post a photo here but am working on it.

[CalfeeChick CommunityAmbassador in reply to agate]

make sure picture is saved on you pc or your device, then when you make a post, you have the option of adding a picture, then add your saved pic and post.

[agate]

Thank you, CalfeeChick . Those were the instructions I was trying to follow but got the impression I can't just post a photo as a reply to you? I'd need to put the photo in a separate thread? I didn't want to do that because there probably isn't much interest in my crocheted hats unless it's in this thread where a couple of people have shown an interest.

[CalfeeChick CommunityAmbassador in reply to agate]

You'd be surprised how many of us love our crafts and yours too. go ahead and try to make a post. I'm in a home sewing mode and have spent a small fortune on materials, etc. Now to get busy. Before MS, when I was a long distance bicyclist🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️, I made many of my own jerseys.

[kdali]

Do you have an online shop, like Etsy? They are lovely!

[agate]

CalfeeChick , thank you for the reply. Believe me, I have tried to insert a photo into the reply window in this thread but it can't be done. I am just a very amateur (self-taught) crocheter, and the hats I make aren't something I want to highlight with a separate thread about them.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to agate]

agate I would love to see your crochet creations and you would be surprised to know that there are many members in this forum who would love to see them too!

[CalfeeChick CommunityAmbassador in reply to agate]

Everybody has to start somewhere, I'd be lost without my various crafts and hobbies. 😊😍
