Everyone have a great weekend! I will try to get a photo posted if I can figure it out again.:???:

Susan:heart: :knitting:

Thanks! :yay:

There are two ways to post a photo.

One is to have it uploaded somewhere (Flickr, Photobucket, etc) where you can get the URL for the image itself. (Easiest is to have the picture open, right-click and select "copy image url" or right-click and select "properties" and highlight the url then right click and select "copy".)

Once you have the picture's adderess, you can click on the "insert image" icon in the reply window:



... and it will give you a pop-up to paste the picture's address.

The other method is to scroll down the on the reply page -- under "Additional options" there is "Attach files". Click on the "Manage Attachments" button and then you can either pick a file from your computer or you can paste in the address of the photo online. Either method uploads the photo to knittinghelp and it will show up at the bottom of your post as an Attached Thumbnail.

Thank you! I love to photo you posted! What are you making?

I used a tan color with flecks of black and Simply Soft paints called Harlequin.

Looks great, Susan! I'm looking forward to working on it. I'd better pick out my yarn this weekend while it's on sale somewhere! (I can't remember if it's J's or M's that has all their yarn on sale for the holiday weekend. :thumbsup: )

That picture is the start of the throw that I am making for my dad. I'm doing two strands, both Vanna's Choice, in Taupe and in Autumn Print. I liked the way the two colors look together! Now that I'm working on it, I wish I'd stuck with the cotton colors that gave me the idea, but I was too cheap/impatient to buy the extra yarn I needed and these two were already in my stash. :think: The colors are kind of *warm* and make me feel warm when I'm working on it! :teehee:

OMG...my "baby" looks fabulous...great job, guys..plz give it a good home. and don't forget, I will gladly finish and donate here if no one does...and keep me on for any other xxxxxoooo

Spring Break/Spring Fever arrived today. Thank you for the cute journal, will be very useful! As soon as I finish it up I will start a new one with the needles if that is okay. I'll take a pic before I donate it! It's looking great!

Please do both! When you're ready and you have a name to suggest, I'll post a sign-up list. Thanks! :thumbsup:

I *think* Dragonfly arrived yesterday; we got home late and I didn't get a chance to open it. :blush:

Cheley -- it looks like Dragonfly will be coming back to you when I'm done. :knitting:

Awesome! I will be waiting for it...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Blueberry Chocolate has been completed and donated to the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA here in San Mateo, CA. I think it turned out beautifully. I've attached a photo of it here.

I've also started a new snuggle inspired by the area in which I grew up (near Saratoga Springs, NY where thoroughbred racing is king) and the fact that it's Triple Crown season. I'm calling it "Horsing Around", and I started it with 2 different browns. I think this one could be really flexible -- obviously we could use browns, greys, whites, black, etc to represent horses, but also any bright colors could be used to represent the silks, green for the turf, red for the Derby roses, black & yellow for Preakness Black-eyed Susans, white for the Belmont Stakes carnations, etc, etc. I'm planning on finishing my section this weekend if anyone's ready to sign on for the next section. I'll post a pic before I send it on...And hopefully next Saturday we'll be watching "I'll Have Another" become our first Triple Crown Winner in over 30 years!!! I mean, you can't beat that name ;)

What a great looking blanket! Thanks so much for finishing and sharing! :inlove:

I love your idea for a new blanket too. :thumbsup:

Who else would like to work on this new blanket? :knitting:

I bought my yarn for Dragonfly yesterday and hope to get started on it this week. This is the last week of school and DD's dance recital rehearsal/performances are Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (plus swim class tonight and soccer on Saturday -- that's just *her*, although this week she has more going on than the boys do), so I don't think I'll get much done this week but I'm excited to work on one of these again.

We could use two more knitters to round out Horsing Around. :knitting:

Spring Break
 

Sorry I have been so slow about posting a picture of Spring Break. :oops: Haven't had my act together lately, but here it is. :doh:



I used RH TLC Essentials in color Lt. Celery and Hobby Lobby ILTY in Sherbet Stripes for my section. It reminds me of wildflowers-in-the-grass which is what I think of in the spring.
Spring Break as moved on to Moonbunny's house for the next section. :hug:

Elizabeth aka bugsyblacklab :knitting:

It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

Horsing Around
 

Horsing Around came the other day. Thank you for the gift!!
It is really to trot off to the next person, so whoever it is please pm your address and I will get it off to you on Monday. I did my section in yellow and black to go with the Blackeyed Susan flowers. Will try to post a photo before I mail it off!



Susan:heart:
:knitting:

That's me! I'll pm you my address now. :)

I wanted to put Zosey last so that she could donate, but we don't have enough knitters to do that. :pout:

Thanks for keeping it going. :thumbsup:

Looking for a couple more volunteers! :knitting:

Ooops - sorry! I didn't know that was the plan. On that note, I do need to check and see which local organizations are participating in the snuggles project...

I don't mind doing another section while I have it if there ends up being a need for it. Just let me know! :)

Oh, it's not a big deal -- I'd rather send it to you to work on now than to have you wait for more knitters to finish up in the middle.

Horsing Around
 

Horsing Around sent out today to Kathleen. DC 0312 0860 0000 9432 4118. ETA Friday 6/22/12. Tried to take a photo but the color did not turn out well!

:sad:

Susan :heart:
:knitting:

Thanks for the update! :thumbsup:

I would be happy to work on Horsing Around, it may be a bit before I can work on it, though. Put me in whatever spot works out best for you.

Horsing Around arrived safe and sound on Friday - thanks for the goodies Susan. :) I haven't had a chance to start on it yet...hopefully tomorrow!!

Thanks, Moonbunny! I'm happy to put you down! :yay:

"Dragonfly"
 

Hi all, just checking in...been on Vacation, where's "Dragonfly":aww:

Will do!

I just finished it over the weekend and it's ready to be photographed, packed up, and sent out. :thumbsup:

Horsing Around came in the mail! It looks great and thanks for the cute coasters!

If you still need another knitter on Horsing Around, my daughter said she would be happy to knit a section.

That would be great! :thumbsup: Thanks!

Dragonfly:



I used Vanna's Choice in Eggplant and Purple Print.

It's ready to move on! Just waiting on address confirmation. :)

How is everyone else doing? :waving:
