Tuesday's Tallies and Some Other Stuff

Hello,
  How is everyone today? I am happy to say Gingerbreadgirl is back with the Tuesday's Tallies for our Ravelry group One-A-Day. It is a great group and I have made a lot of friends there. My Grandala blanket is coming along and I may just get it done by the end of January like I had hoped. All my squares are done. Still sewing them together. I have 10 strips done...
I love my blankie. I have also made progress on the Multi-stitch blanket. It doesn't look like it, unfortunately I had to pull back a whole panel. 10 rows. When I went to do the wavy section again, my stitch count was off and I couldn't get the 37 waves in. It was no fun taking the rows out. Most of the stuff I work on I can stitch up quickly. If you have been watching my blog, you know this one is slow going. Mostly because I made up this pattern and there is no way to fudge it if the stitches are off. So here it is, correctly counted and stitched...
So those are my One-A-Day projects. When I went to Carole's blog this morning, I saw that she is also working on the Blanket Statement from Debbie Stoller and Attic24. I am doing two of them also. I have only started the one, I am waiting for my yarn for the other. Here is my progress on that.
The last thing I wanted to talk about was that I got the Liebster Award again. Vintagehomspun nominated me again and I was really surprised. I have had the best time since I started blogging. It has kept me on track and kept me focused. I find that I am finishing all my projects now and don't have a huge pile of UFOs. I have made great friends and gotten some great ideas from all the blogs I read. Vintagehomespun is a really nice blog. Pop over and check it out.
 I had to think really hard to try and decide who I would put up for it this time. One was obvious to me. I would have nominated it last time, but thought you had to have under 100 followers. When you get this award the idea is to pass it on to 5 blogs that have less than 200 followers, mention and link the blog that gave it to you and help your fellow small blogs find a  bigger audience. So, here are my choices this time...
                                                                       
1. A World of Imagination. I love Deb's blog. I thought she had too many followers the first time around. She is an artist. She crochets really pretty things, but she makes fantastic cards.
2. The Craft Giraffe. Awesome ideas here. I really enjoy reading this one.
3.Teresa Kasner. I think Teresa gets a lot of awards. She is a really neat lady. So busy and so creative. Teresa was another one that I thought had too many followers the first time.
4. Little Things Made With Love. I really like the colors and patterns Barbina uses. You will like this one if you don't know about it already.
5.My House in Africa. I just discovered this blog about a week ago. She is half a world away from me, but I really can relate to her.
Stop by and see these blogs. They make me happy every time they post.
  I am going to do my best to post tomorrow. I have a few other things I want to share, but have gone on long enough today. Tuesday seems to be blog day and I love reading everyone's posts. Talk to you all soon.:)

P.S. I almost forgot. My giveaway is still open, if interested leave a comment on my last post and I will pick a winner on Thursday.

  1. Wow Kashi, thanks so much for nominating me, that means alot to me :)

    The grandala blanket is beautiful. Its so close to being finished, i'd say your excited to get it finished. I love the multi stitch blanket. Its going to be stunning when its finished.

    I must check out the CAL's. You know me I just love the granny squares so I don't think I can resist the temptation to join the We love Lucy group. I love the idea of putting different size granny squares together, the effect is beautiful.

  8. Thank you soo much Kashi! Your nomination means a lot to me! You have made me so happy! :)
    Your grandala blanket looks amazing! And your Multi-stich blanket is so gorgeous, I had the same problem with my blanket too. Two times I had to pull back a lot of rows, because I ended up with more stiches than in the beginning, it is very tricky, but so worth it.
    And your last blanket nearly knocked me out of my shoes, it is so wonderful. If I would have enough yarn in my stash, I would join your CAL right away. I´m so in love with it!
    Have a great day Kashi!

  11. Your blanket looks gorgeous! I have yet to finish a blanket to date... I get bored so easily and am onto the next project before getting anywhere close to finishing the last one...I am in awe!

    Thank you so much for the encouraging comments you left on my post today. I can't tell you how much it means to know that fellow bloggers enjoy my little space as much as I do their's!

    Thank you for inspiring :)
