Comfortghan Request - Aunt diagnosed with breast cancer (CLOSED)

[Celestial Seasonings]

I was working on a square for another comfortghan today when my mother called to tell me that her sister has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She lives in Minnesota, where it's just starting to get cold outside, and I immediately thought to make her an afghan. I'm hoping for 12" squares in springtime, cheerful colors -- pinks, purples, greens, yellows, and whites if possible, and with any sort of flower motif (she loves them). Your crocheting and well-wishes are greatly appreciated!

 

Don't worry about edging them; I'll take care of it! I'd like to have them collected and together in time for the holidays.

 

Please PM me for my address if you can help. I'd like to collect at least 12-16 squares.

Put me down for one, sending you a PM, and I'll see how long it takes me to do the one before I commit to the second. Do you have any yarn preferences besides color?

[Celestial Seasonings]

I'd like to keep it all acrylic, Red Heart and the like, so it's easy wash and dry. Thanks so much!

[Julie]

Oh, forgot to ask - should I edge them before I send them? It isn't a problem on my end but would need to know a color to use.

I'll make a square or 2 for your Aunt's comfortghan. Pastel colors, RH preferrably, 12 inch squares. Edging or not? Any color preference? I know I have several different pastels. PM me your shipping address and a deadline or approximate deadline.

[Celestial Seasonings]

The squares don't need to be edged; I'm going to wait to collect them all and then join with the most neutral color possible. Colors aren't an issue either, so long as they're light and cheerful! I really appreciate this:hug
