Cords for a cause

[Crochet Crone]

I'd like to request your scraps!!! I'm making tartan style crochet lapghans and rugs. to donate to nursing homes and animal shelters in my area. I would appreciate any help I can get with this cause. I need cords of chain-link crochet. any color and no less than 3 foot long. single stand for lapghans and double strand for pet rugs. Please if anyone could help that would be great. PM me for my address.

is there a specific hook size that should be used?

[Crochet Crone]

I didn't think about hook sizes I'm not sure if it will make much difference the hook size. the different sizes may give the lapghans & Rugs more texture and add to the beauty of them so no I will not set any restrictions on that.

Ohhhhh thanks, now I get it! I did this once, well twice actually as the recipient ordered it for a gift,and then liked it so much, kept that one, and I was asked to do another, lol They were fun, both raspberry and white, if I recall....Might be on my photobucket page, i don't remember. Thanks for the clairfication! Would you rather have the yarn to make the cords, or the cords already made??

[Crochet Crone]

Well yarn or cords is fine... cords would mean a little less work for me Yarn I could use for the meshing as well. I'm not picky surprise me!!! any help would be appreciated

 

Thank you in advance

Sent you a package of cords, let me know please when you receive, thanks! Hope it helps your cause!

[Crochet Crone]

Yes I received them... They will work just fine. Thank you so much!

whatever happened to this project. I don't see any pics, and was wondering if you completed any, or need more, or what the story is. I would love to see some finished projects using the cords I and others sent. thanks.

[Crochet Crone]

I'm sorry for not getting back here sooner... I;m recovering from arm surgery and I'm still unable to crochet or really use my arm at all. I have not received enough to start any project as of yet. I'm still hoping for some more donations. Dr. says 2 more weeks until I can use my arm then I need to see how I do at crocheting again.

 

thanks again and I will share pix as soon as I can I too can't wait to see them completed

[katyallen815]

So sorry to hear about your health issues. Don't rush your recovery, your hooks and yarns will wait patiently for you! Good luck in your recovery, and let us know how you are doing from time to time. Best wishes.

[Crochet Crone]

Thank you for your well wishes!
