Its a summer tank top and im on the shaping of the boobs(can i say that?)...and then the straps, im done. So not far, but not done.

I take breaks and check in every hour or so...so if you need anything, ill be here....eventually.

Im really happy things are going well now.

don't get too comfortable...row 19 is really bugging the crap out of me...First time I got 77 sts...second time I ended with 79, third time I seemed to be a stitch sort...just waiting to see what this time yields....

*smiles* Love Life Lines...very happy this one is right under row 19

Hazzah..got it on the 4th try!!

and the simcitizans go wild at their mayors acheivements...now that mayor has hit row 21, she is going to go play some World of Warcraft, and maybe cross stitch a bit, to give her neck a break...and perhaps stop talking in third person...

I hope your citizens are happy with you!! I am.

off to knit

Not lost, just on loan during the day to my boss. But as soon as I get home, I'm all over that shawl.

By the way, I hadn't been able to check KH until now and then I noticed we were on page 6 of the thread and had a minor panic attack. Random thoughts that crossed my mind:

Crycket's all done and I've barely started!
Melissa's decided to throw in a random twist to the challenge a la Project Runway
They're conspiring against me...

Can you tell it's been a long and painful day at work?

no need for apoligies for being silly...
we need all the silly we can get..


I want to know how Crycket feels about her work now? Is it smoother and easy to work? are things falling into place better? I, by far, wanted this to be frustrating for you...i know it was yesterday, but how about now?
( waiting for a picture)

AMAZING how one stitch can throw the whole thing off.

Also, I seem to have lost dimpledapple....?

[Crycket]

Goodness no...I am nowhere near done...not even at the end of the first pattern repeat.....

don't panic!

[lissaplus2]

Dimpledapple....make sure you get the new chart i emailed to you...the other one is wrong.

Glad to see your still with us! i was worried.

[Crycket]

Ok...finished my first pattern repeat, so as I promised...here is your first proper pic. I have decided that working without the demands of my Sims is probably better....I was able to work the last couple rows without frustration.

I also remembered that I had a KP magnetic folder, which solved my sticky note problem!

The only problem now is I will want to re orient the way the page is printed so I can use the folder properly.

so without further ado...



I like the way the sock yarn in the crochet cast on changed colour for me mid way...it makes it a kind of nice reference point for the middle of the pattern!
