BAM- May

Well I survived, but barely. This was a really confusing pattern in the way it was written. Neither myself, nor Vickie could get it completed that night. And we usually have no problems! After all is said and done, it's a pretty square. But I don't know that I'd do the pattern again, if I did I would need to rewrite it in a traditional form so that it was easier for me to read.

BAM- February... Again

So I didn't like the original February square because it used 2 weights of yarn, wasn't square, and just looked a mess. So I reworked it.

But I may rework it again because the other squares I'm making have a gold yarn in them vs. the yellow... but if I redid this one then I would have to redo the March one since it's all in the yellow. Hmmmm. Not sure.

BAM- April

I'm still keeping up with the BAM challenge. I barely made it last month but I made it! April 29th. and it was actually the easiest pattern to date oddly enough. It's a gorgeous square and I'm tempted to do it many more times in a scrapghan when I find time... but I doubt that will happen!

BAM- March

We had our monthly meetup on Wednesday so that Vickie and I could complete our squares. This month's square proved to be particularly difficult. Either that or we were just too into Idol to pay enough attention. Vickie threw in the towel at row 5 and will revisit on her own time. I pushed through and got all but the last 2 rows finished that night. I wrapped it up Thursday during lunch and I can mark March off my list!

Block a Month- February

44. participate in and complete BAM challenge for 2009



Vickie and I met up on Wednesday night along with my mom and Tracy for our monthly Block dinner/visit. Tracy graciously hosted and we had a lovely dinner of whole wheat pasta, meatballs and sauce, along with some garlic bread and wine.

Vickie and I settled in to work on our blocks while Mom and Tracy sat on the couch mocking us. It was business as usual.

Here is my finished February Block, it's a bit wonky but I'm hoping once I join it, it will stretch out and lay flat:
