Granny squares 2nd annual Happy Birthday Friendship/Comfortghan

[MrsMcKee]

Well DH and I had a very eventful night last night! I posted the long version in the off topic thread.

 

Short version is - we found an injured stray dog who was so stinkin cute and sweet. Tried to find the owners, but that was quite challenging. But now he is safe and sound at the SPCA getting treated for a possible broken leg.

 

It's amazing how quickly we fall in love with fur babies. 20 minutes with this sweety and I wanted to keep him!

I got the cutest 3-inch squares from Katyallen8090. Thank you, Katie! They're 16 squares. This afghan is going to be so cheerful. Many, many thanks

I would have wanted to keep Noodle too if I were you, MrsMcKee! He seems like such a sweetheart. I used to take my two doggies to SPCALA for shots and checkups. I really love that place, plus I had a close friend that was a vet tech there, which helped tremendously. I hope Noodle is back home. If not, I pray that another family adopts him soon.

 

@Katie: Keep them coming! I'll have to find a hiding place for them. I don't want my niece or SIL getting wind of what's going on in my room Heeheehee

Hi everyone ! Well kids are all better and I'm gettin there. Went to the dr and they had me do an emergency EKG bc of severe chest pressure and pain. Not sure what the results were of that but the dr immediately came In said that I am to stop smoking ASAP. Tht had me do a breathing treatment and gave me 2 inhalers ad 2 antibiotics plus all my anti itchy meds. I'm still waiting on the results of my blood work to see if there are any autoimmune issues or not.

Praying that everything turns out to be better soon. Get lots of rest. Inhalers make me fidgety. I hope they don't do that to you or rest is harder to come by. Have a restful Wednesday

awww, so sorry you don't feel too well lacey, hope you get better soon!!

[Aussie_Paula]

oh good, boy that one was fast, maybe once they find their way a couple times, it becomes easier for the puffys to find you!!!!!!!!! Glad you liked it...Like they have "learned" their way to Austrailia now!!!! ..

 

Im a little worried however, as it is half time here in Oct, and Immafreek's got half a month left to reign as Biggest Square!

 

I know 12 inchers SEEM more trouble to make, but just consider this,,,,,,, they are the equivilant of simply making four 6 inchers, right, we can all do that in our sleep!! :sleepI know i balk at making 12 inchers, simply because of the wonky-ness, that sometimes arises, so I have a go to pattern for non wonky-ness, and if I don't do that one, I do every other row or so, turning, even though I prefer the look of a single right and wrong side to my work, it can easily be disquised by turning, and making a row of sc, or a row even of dc, ch one skip one, dc, mesh for one row, etc. Play around with it, if you are like me, wonky-ness bothers me! Otherwise too, i hear they straighten out, when joined with all their freinds in an afghan!!

 

I use as my fav. pattern for 12 inchers called Squaring the big circle, found here, free by Kate Jenks, (ty to Kate many times over for such a lovely pattern!) it's a lovey and fun and pretty easy to do pattern, so I find myself rather enjoying the 12 inchers a lot more!! It's like I can't wait to get to the next round, and I get to play with colors to my hearts content!! And, no wonkyness to speak of either!

 

Try it, it's fun, and can be as colorfull, or plain as YOU like it! I can just imagine it in blues, and greens and yellows, oh wait, that's Immafreeks colors!! cool beans!!! (Shamefull solicitation?)

uh, maybe, but for a good cause!! )

[katyallen815]

Oh, forgot to add, the ones that i mailed have all been recieved, and accounted for and residing in their new homes happily ever after !! I love it when that happens with no misses, no losts, or no wrong addys!

 

Which while Im thinking of it, if you move, please email me your new addy, to update my list. So far, so good, nice job hookers! :cheer

I'm a little stalled on my Biggest Square, but I'm at about eight inches I think, so not doing too bad! I'm curious to find out what I'm going to do for the final colour change - I haven't decided yet.

 

I picked a simple pattern that I thought would scale up well, but I am, in fact, noticing "wonky-ness" at the current size. I'm dealing with it mostly by glaring at it and periodically tugging on the corners.

[AngelRoseLite]

I got my yarn and then some! lol. There was a bright glittery one I hadn't seen before. It's soft and has a really nice color palette. I want to experiment with squares and see what emerges. I hope the blue, yellow, and green are what immafreek is asking for. I wasn't sure what green, but I figured brights are always a good choice. Then again, it's a matter of preference.

 

Immafreek, if you don't care for any of the colors, would you please let me know?

 

Thanks

 

And today's yarn brought to you by...

[VikingRunnerGirl]

Have you joined the Stashbusting thread, AngelRose?

 

I've been pretty good about yarn buying (not so much yarn using!) since I joined that thread, but... I'm thinking about leaving work early to stop by our JoAnn to pick up a worsted skein or two. I don't have any yellow, you see, and it seems like it would be so helpful for some of the friendship-ghan squares... right?
