Thanks goodness she got my money! Can you believe that the PO didn't postmark it til Fri when I mailed it on a Weds? Insane! Now I'm impatiently waiting for my booklet so I can get started!

 

Ok, if people want to do this can't find the booklet, could we sell or do a trade for it? I will probably not do 2 of these afghans so I'd be more than willing to trade my booklet for something of equal value after I'm done to someone who wants it...

 

Just a suggestion! I CANNOT WAIT TO GET STARTED! Paganbaby, stop posting all those pretty pics! I know mine won't turn out half as pretty! I cannot wait to see your completed afghan! It's gonna be gorgeous!

I love your colors Paganbaby! Are you doing a planned color scheme or just what strikes your fancy? I have a great deal of Simply Soft Brights left over from Blue Squares Too, and I was thinking of using them, then a neutral to join them.

Hi, losingmymind2 and Donnalynn2 and Julie, Thank you!!!What I'm doing is using up my scraps. I have made this afghan in neutrals and it is gorgeous that way, but I wanted to challenge myself to use up the yarn that is in 3 big bags next to my chair.

 

What I'm running into is that some of the variegateds are thinner than the solids, the squares are not all the same size, just a fraction off, but as long as the final count of 23 dcs on each side is correct, then I guess I'll steam them to all fit. Another idea I have is to work a round of granny square type stitches around in black and use the join-as-you-go method to attach them all together.

 

If you're using the soft yarns, don't mix it with non-soft yarns or you may have mixed sizes.

 

This afghan goes quickly in the 2 color variation because you don't really have to plan the different rounds.

Hello everyone ,

Just a quick note to inform you that Pagan has agreed to be the new leader for this group . I PM'd her earlier today asking if she'd consider it and she said yes, if it was ok with all of you . I'm sure you would all be ok with it !

I just felt that she has really done a lot more for this group. She is a lot further along on the squares-- she has posted photos of all her finished squares so far ,and she has made 8 of these afghans already , I think she said. She is now on square number 22 of this one !

She's a lot more experienced with this pattern than I am ,so I think she'd do a great job at leading you all on and answering your questions . So if you all have anything you need help with, give her a holler !

She'll do great , and thanks again Pagan ! :manyheart

:think PB&J posted a darling button for our 35 squares CAL. I tried to post in in my signature line, but it only came up as an address. I probably do not know what I am doing. Has anyone else got it to work?

 

Hi, Linda! I don't know if one can put the button in the signature line. I haven't seen anyone do that yet...has anyone else?

 

The button was meant to put in your blog. If you have one, you can put it in with this code:

 

<a href="http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15934" target="_blank"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/robertsmom/Blog%20Button/35Grannies.gif" width="142" height="45" border="0" alt="35 Grannies"/></a>

 

Gee, I sure hope that works. I copied it from my own blog's template.:)

 

In the meantime, you could always just list, "35 Ganny Squares Crochet Along" or link to your photos if you have any in your signature. Good luck!:clover
