Crafter's Challenge September 11th----September 17th, 2022
- Thread starter Lana
- Start date
Just completed our first granny square in yesterday's crochet class. Our assignment for coming up is to create a Ravelry account so we can select a project for our next two classes. Most everyone wants to do a pumpkin, but we can select several projects, if we want. I may look at their snowflakes and other holiday patterns, just to see what's out there. The shop where classes are held (and their staff) contributes to the site and has many of their projects and patterns posted there.
@Lori K I love this YT channel for free crochet patterns. Crystal explains it so well. Lots and lots of things to choose from. 
Thank you for the recommendation. I just looked at it and she does an excellent job of explaining things. Will need to explore her channel more.@Lori K I love this YT channel for free crochet patterns. Crystal explains it so well. Lots and lots of things to choose from.
Greetings!
Lori ~ Great class for inspiration!
I'd like to somehow come close to finishing the nutcracker table runner this week. It's for DD's October 4th birthday, and I would want to mail it quite a few days ahead, of course. We have some trips planned between now and then that will interfere with my progress. In the event I don't get it done in time, I have alternatives. One would be to take it to her when we go visit later in October as a belated BD gift. Another is to give her the ornaments I made for her as a BD present and gift the table runner for Christmas. Possibilities ...
Knitting and card making again this week. Have thanksgiving and Halloween to get done. We do have DH cousin apartment to help clean out as well. Her funeral was this pass Friday.
Thanks for the yt link, I need all the help I can get.
Last of my supplies for CIJ ornaments came. I’ll pack everything in a small labeled tote until I’ll work on them in January.
The big fall tent sale is next week at the quilt shop in Shilo. I need to figure out how much fabric I need for a few quilts I want to make. I have no fall or patriotic type fabric here. That’s what I’ll focus on along with quilt backs.
I’ve been so focused on cleaning my house I still haven’t done anything crafting. I’m determined to not do any cleaning next week (unless my husband decides we should do the basement).

Thanks for the reminder. I need to find a tote for the same thing. Will look for a clear tote too. I have been switching over to clear ones when I can.
Been getting some knitting in. Also been doing some paper crafting but not the cards I should be working on. Instead I have been making gift tags.
I finished DD30's Boho Duster Cardigan! Photos coming later. Now onto DD's boyfriend.
Gift tags are done along with a cowl I was working on. Have a pr of fingerless mitts I want to start on but I really need to take care of those cards first.
Everyone is an inspiration to me to keep going!
Here is the start of DD30’s boyfriend’s poncho …

I saw the crochet star stitch pattern and I would love to try it. Not sure for what. Maybe a throw. Won't be anytime soon. Seems really easy.
That corn is so cute! And love the colors on the poncho!
Tidied up my room a little today. Managed to get my Soprano to the shop this week. They’ve already called with an estimate, should be ready in about 10 days.
