Thank you to everyone who has joined in so far. I am having a blast crocheting my little coasters, and it has been fun seeing why you all chose to do it! Here are the participants so far:
Jenn (Jenn Loves Yarn) is doing Red, White, and Blue. The blue she chose is unique, and I love the combination of colors!
Paula (Confessions of a Crochet & Cross Stitch Pattern Slut) is also doing Red, White, and Blue -- and she finished hers already! I love the border that she added to around the edge, and the two with variagated yarn. I have been looking for that yarn all over! Also, cotton was probably a much better choice than my acrylic / polyester!
Rengawk (Rengawk's Ramblings) is joining us for her first crochet along! I love it when people join up for the first time! She has a fun selections of reds, whites, and blues! [And Rengawk, welcome to the CAL world! I tried to comment on your post, but blogger was being weird and would not let me! :( ]
Holly Louise ('Cause I'm a Blonde) has a super cute blog, and has also finished up her coasters already! She made a set in red, white, and blue for her grandma (how sweet is that??) and in pinks for herself! [And hello to you too, blogger would not let me post my comment on your blog either!]
Major props to the ladies who finished already. They do work up pretty quick, don't they! I finished up mine, I just need to get pictures taken! Go ahead an post here if you decided to join late, or if I missed you, or if you finished your set! I cannot wait to see them all!
The variegated yarn I used is a cotton from Peaches & Cream. Right now, they are selling out their supplu. I have bought over $100 worth of yarn cone in two orders . . . trying to get basic colors that I will be able to use with anything. But, the colors I buy I also like, so I have almost empties the Red cone =)
ReplyDeleteYou broke blogger!
ReplyDeleteI ended up using some Peaches & Cream too, but in a red and white mix...I've gotta get moving on new pictures, the ones I took didn't come out very well!
