Weekend Square-A-Long!!! :O)

LavenderBear · August 4, 2006

HELLO!! :yay I don't see a post for a square-a-long challenge for the weekend, so here I go in getting one going!! :yes

How many of you would like to join me in making as many squares as you can from the time you wake up on Friday morning until the time you go to bed on Sunday night?! :clap You may choose any size(s) and color(s) you'd like, make your squares, and post on Sunday night how many you've made!!!

As an added incentive . . . . . . .

I will send a snail mail package of yarn to the person who makes the most CHARITY squares (6" or larger)!!! You may give them to the charity of your choosing, of course!! Just think! Many will be blessed as a result and we'll have FUN teaming up for the challenge!!

Okay, how many will join me starting tomorrow morning?! :ghug

I'm going to go look through my stash and see what yarn and colors I will be using!! :elle WE CAN DO IT!!!

Breger3 · August 4, 2006

I'm in!

However I won't be home till Wed. cause I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow, so leave me out of the contest part. But I can whip up some squares to throw together for comfortghans or other things! Any sized squares?

Now, to pack my yarn and hooks! :hook

LavenderBear · August 4, 2006

Crystal,

Let me attempt to respond again! I don't know what's happening, but my replies are not going through as I'm being timed out, or something, again tonight??!!

Anyway, YES, any sized squares for the actual challenge and 6" or larger charity squares for those who are participating in the FREE YARN PACKAGE part of this weekend square-a-long contest part! If this goes well, I may do this again in a few weeks?!

Have FUN camping!! :waving

since I'm doing the nebiew CAL, and planned on sending my squares to one of the charitys going on, on the charity board I'll get in on this one too. Guess that means I should really get plugging away on my round ripple since I wanted to have a certin number of rows done by tomorrow night. Yay you gave me a reason to go yarn shopping!!

fuzzbugjr · August 4, 2006

:yes I'l join in. Gives me extra incentive to keep doing my squares for the kid sized blankies I want to start making before it starts to get cold at night up here. These are for underprivilged children in my town.

Thanks for a good idea. :yay :clap :cheer

I am making some already for the Nebraska Pine Ridge Reservation Outreach. Great idea for the CAL! Short, sweet and rewarding (and FUN) project. I am really into GRanny squares now, and squares of Granny's daughters, so this will be great! I can also try some motif squares. I"ll get started tonight and post my progress with pics.

Thanks for thinking of this!
