if she needs cotton, then I'll have to shop, I don't use it much

[Aussie_Paula]

I don't know why my photo uploads keep failing. I thought it was because they are bmp files so I saved them as JPEG but they still won't upload! GRR any ideas? I want to post a photo of the square Bubbe sent me.

 

Now my first row is put together I re-measured it on my bed. First count I didn't plan on putting borders around my squares. So the number is off. I only need 30 squares not 35. Also I somehow did not count one square. When I had them laid out on my table I realised my error.

So I only need 12 more squares to finish this ghan!!!

[CindysSweetThings]

Just lettin' y'all know I'm still alive...

[katyallen815]

Sure is fun. Which begs the question. If the world ends on a certain date, would it end in our part of the world first? LOL

 

umm yes i think so, and therefore time to warn us!!

well good to hear that, lol who would I ask my weather questions to if you weren't here, lol

I'm glad everyone is doing ok. I have family that lives near Slidell and they haven't been home yet, but they think there will be water in their home. I'm waiting to hear more.

 

My niece is being induced in the morning!! It'll be my 3rd great nephew, and their first child. Hopefully I'll get to see them in October. They live so far away now.

 

I have several plastic needles as well as several metal yarn needles, but I still have a favorite that I use all the time. I also use a needle threader even though the eye is pretty big.

 

Can't wait to see who's next! I need to figure out how big I want my ghan to be and how many squares I'll need. I keep arguing with myself in my head. One side says "Big enough for the bed!!" while the other side says, "Just a Lapghan!"

[pineknott]

Its been a great run,over 25 squares,thats wonderfully generous

yep,all polished and ready to go at 1200am saturday,when my reighn at Yarn Hill comes to an end...and the next person is :D:devil

[kuddlekubs]

I usually love being a day ahead of everyone. But in these circumstances it just sucks

I hope she wants cotton. I'm busting to pull out my little stash.

 

EDITED TO ADD - I joined my first row of squares last night! I joined in a bright blue with slip stitch. Looks cool!

 

if she needs cotton, then I'll have to shop, I don't use it much

 

No worries, when I'm the Square, you'll be able to use your cotton! Cotton rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning and hi y'all! (No I'm not from the south....but my grandmother was!)....

 

TGIF! Been a long hard week at work, plus my DD now has 'real' homework and she does not like it, especially the math! I can't blame her but it's an every night battle!

 

Any ideas from any of you to help it along? She is only 8, 2nd grade.....any pearls you could throw me would be great!

 

Hugs from kuddles

Your family in Slidell probably will be flooded, the Northshore got hit with lots of rain. Most of the flooding is from the rain, since it moved soooooooooo slow!!! Our drive was flooded and apparently so was the main road for a while, but the water receded. There were several mobile homes on the main road that were by a creek and they were flooded. Saw a lone dog sitting on a porch, the water was to the top stop, he couldn't go anywhere. When I was coming back from the store, there were boats trying to get to the homes. Scary! This was my first hurricane ever, glad it wasn't a really strong one. If it would have been stronger, I'd have left my mobile home and found one of the REd Cross shelters to be in. Now it is back to work - feels good to have things back to "normal".

 

Once the post office is back up and running, will have some puffies to mail out! Ya'll have a great day and happy crocheting!!!

[CindysSweetThings]

Yay! I got my first paycheck so I was finally able to go buy some stamps! Pineknott is finally going to get her package!

 

ETA: Hey, isn't this the last day of the month? Sorry for the delay, but at least it is finally going out!

[Abigail1280]

I haven't heard anything yet this morning.

 

My nephew did call and blame me (jokingly) for his wife's induction being canceled this morning. I had told him about a few of my friend's who had had their inductions canceled. They told her maybe next week. Wednesday, she'll be 41 weeks.

Hopefully she won't need to be induced. I had to be induced with both my girls and it SUCKED!!!!! Both times my water broke but labor never started, even after 12 hours. Being induced is absolute HELL. It also increases the risk of c-section (which is already higher for her since this is her first; first time moms have a higher risk of c/s).

[pineknott]

I received two squares from Vikingrunnergirl

thank you so much they will fit in nicely

count on two more squares coming your way,we piggybacked it in Rene's filet swap pkg.

[Aussie_Paula]

I love the piggybacking we have going on this swap. I am kicking myself I didn't add in a square or two for Rene in my package.

Happy long weekend, friends!!

 

Any fun plans for Labor Day?? DH and I have decided to do NOTHING!! With all the house stuff lately, and more house stuff to come, we have given ourselves the weekend off! That doesn't happen very often. Well, DH will probably work from home some. He has two big projects with work that he's managing right now. And I do have a haircut tomorrow, but that's fun. I think I'm going to cut 8 inches off. I haven't had a haircut in over a year! Last time, I got 13 inches cut and I donated it to locks of love. So once my hair grew out a bunch, I wasn't far from being able to donate again. So I figured I'd just wait awhile longer so I had enough inches. It's driving me nuts though. I'm tired of just throwing it up in a pony every day bc it's just too much hair to style.

 

So I'm thinking I'll go pretty short this time! I'm excited!!

[ImmaFreek]

Hi everyone ! Hope you all are doing good and staying safe. I cant wait to see who will be crowned next on yarn tree hill

[katyallen815]

Ok, first things first, before the big reveal...

 

We will have a new Biggest Square here in a couple minutes, but wanted to say, that I think everyone did a terrific job with August's Linda, (Pineknott) and wanted to remind Ms. Linda, we will need a total count of the squares you received so I can post your name and total on the first post of this thread!!! Whenever you get a chance, and thanks for being AUgusts Biggest Square!!

 

Ok, with that said..........

The crown has passed.

 

September's Biggest Square, is...........

ESTEE!!!! Congratz Estee, and I hope you get enough to FINISH THAT GHAN!!

 

Her particulars are as follows......and I quote.

 

"any size will do and any colors too...I figure I need at least the equivalent of 20 eight inchers...I'm making a big crazy ghan..."

 

I figured it was near enough midnight to post, and wanted to get this out there for all to see!! The pledging opens with me, pledging two eight inchers!! Good Luck to the new Biggest Square, and everyone making squares for her!!

 

Im Pledging two 8 inchers,

 

20-2, total of 18 eight inchers, or equivalant needed... I think that means it could be four 4 inchers and that would count as an 8 incher, Im not sure, pm Ms. Estee for clarification, lol:think

[Aussie_Paula]
