I finished the Dead Fish Hat on Friday, which was pretty cool.
DC, my son, did walk in on me Thursday night as I was working on it. Squirt had a sleepover, so she and her friend were being very loud. DC came sauntering out wrapped in his blanket and sleep in his eyes saying "I was just about ready to be totally asleep and you guys are TOO LOUD" - I got a little stern with him and told him to go back to bed all the while trying to shove the fish hat out of sight without any stitches sliding off the needles (which I was successful at). I don't know if he saw it or not but I did apologize for being so short with him last night. The girls really were being loud and they should have been in bed too.
I was thinking of swapping out one of the afghans for the bag but really, the work effort is no where near the same. And even if the afghan isn't done by Christmas, I can make it a project for next year and just start with the squares now and see how they work out in the end - using the bag for the Christmas present.
He absolutely loves super heroes so I think he'll enjoy a Spidey-inspired lapghan. I had a bit of a false start because I had put way too much black into the blanket. After about 12 rows, I ended up tossing that. I have started again, and this time I think I'm going to like it a lot more than attempt #1.
So far so good. I have finished several rows with the help of the Olympics. I started it during the opening ceremony and should have it done by the end. Of course I didn't join the Ravellenics because I didn't know where I would be on the beast-ghan - but as we all know, I'm done with that so I'm missing out on the fun. *shrugs* That's ok though - I'll play along on my own *smiles*

Really thrilled to hear your beast ghan is done, I'm still intrigued how your going to block such an item. Love the fish hat and the bag looks cute. Love how the spiderman themed ghan is going so far.
That hat is cool. Can't wait to see your Spidey ghan finished. I know a little one who would love that. He's got a spiderman themed room.
I'm going to see how easy it will be just to wash it and find a spot to lay it out flat to dry... not sure - but gonna try. That was at the advise from someone in my yarn group who does a lot more larger afghans than I. She even suggested just steaming it since the squares were laying so evenly.
In case you are interested, I'm using the linked pattern but the row color suggestions found here: http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/angelcrafts/patterns/spidermanroundrippleafghan.html - I may or may not use their method of the black bars tho - I'm thinking surface crochet instead.
i was going to do Ravellenics, but decided not to enter anything, just focus on a few things during the time frame. so let's have our own challenge :0) i love that afghan, i really should make it for my nephew!
I really don't understand why people spend lots of money on cats bed...my cats love cardboard boxes the best..I saw the hat on Friday..gotta have one!
I'm gonna try to knock out this afghan by end of Olympics - sounds like a great challenge to me :)
I don't get it either - my cats just kinda lay whereever... granted, I like keeping them off the furniture when I can... and it seems a water bottle box works wonders hehehe
You can still join in if you want :). Any project you start during the games can count. I love the Dead Fish hat and both afghans!
Dead fish hats are my favorite! LOVE!!!
Congrats on getting the beast-ghan done! And good luck with the blocking - sounds like it could be a tricky one.
The fish hat is awesome too :)
Oh my! You got lots done! I thought I was doing well but I am so slow compared to most. Your big white afghan is beautiful! What an heirloom. The fish hat and it's owner are so cute! You're very inspiring!
The beastghan is gorgeous, I'm so glad you got it finished in time! And the fish hat is very cute.
yay for finishing the beast=ghan. Blocking scares me. I don't know why. The fish hat is super cute. I'm with DC, a houseful of noisy girls Need to go to bed. great week!
