Five Day Charity Squares Crochet-A-Long!

Nichole · September 19, 2006

I just found this, but I'm totally going to start today! My house is a mess, but charity comes first right?

LavenderBear · September 19, 2006

Nichole,

On days when my home is a mess and I want to crochet or knit I reward myself for a chore done with sitting down to work on something! Today I have homework and will be doing the same thing! By the end of the day I will have my homework and my squares goal completed! :hook :yarn :hook

hey if 1-12" sqaure equals 4-6" squares, I need to make 3-12" squares for my WIP (finished 2) so I guess I am at 13 - 6" squares. I will be completing one of the two WIP's so I should be able to start back up on Thursday:D

I am making some progress. I need 35 squares for my lapghan; 7 each of 5 colours.

So far I have 7 burnt orange, 2 orange, 3 peach, 4 cream and 2 white so that's 18 so far. Considering how nicely I have to treat my wrist, that is not bad.

I am enjoying this push to get this 'ghan done.

LavenderBear · September 20, 2006

Hello! I'm only on for a few minutes, but I thought I would post my update! I have now made 20 squares, meeting my two day goal!! :clap

Keep up the GREAT work! We have three more days to go! :cheer

Breger3 · September 20, 2006

You know, a 12 inch square is equal in area to 4 six inch sqaures. so you are not doing too badly for an unwell particpant.

Thanks, that does make it look a lot better! :hug

Breger3 · September 20, 2006

Crystal,

Feel better soon!

Thanks, I'm trying, so far today I'm still stuffed up, but my throat isn't hurtings! :clap

Breger3 · September 20, 2006

Ok, yesterday I finished up the 12 inch square and started making 10 inch squares, I got 6 completely done, and I have one round left on another. Bringing my total squares so far to:

3- 12inch

6(almost 7) 10 inch

Today I'll be working on 8 inch squares! :yay

BTW I'm not hiding ends as I finish them, what is everyone else doing with ends, I'm going to hide the ends either Friday or Saturday.

darski · September 20, 2006

I am doing solid coloured squares but I plan to tuck in that last end as I go when putting my squares together with sc.

darski · September 20, 2006

so, craftygirl2, what is your current count? You must really be up there by now.

I almost envy your ability to crochet that quickly, but I do what the good Lord allows and I'm grateful for that.

You go girl :hook

am I the only person on the planet that cant make granny squares? Im just making patterned squares. 8 so far... I cleaned... boo me.

karin4christ · September 20, 2006

I have 34 granny squares done so far. I'm going to make a child's sized afghan. I'm always amazed at how many squares it takes to make one afghan. 34 sounds like a lot but that isn't even half as much as I need. I'll be traveling to California Thursday so hopefully I can do some more squares then (if the motion sickness doesn't get too bad).

I got a late start since I started at like 11 pm yesterday but I have 4 done and 1 half done so far. I did learn that I can crochet while brest feeding so by the end of the day I should have a decent amount done. This is definatly good for a stash buster but now I really want to go out and buy some nice comfy looking gray yarn and make a few lap gahns to send to my local retirement home and a nice lap gahn for myself.

LavenderBear · September 20, 2006

Hello! WTG everyone!! We are making GOOD progress with our squares and sounds like a variety of kinds too - NEAT!! :yay

I just counted mine up and I have 31 so far! Mine are a mixture of colors, mostly two or three each, and made from the basic granny square pattern (my favorite)! I'm using up some of my STASH too!!

Keep on posting!! We're all doing GREAT! :bow :woo :yes

Melibean223 · September 21, 2006

I have 6 done so far, I hope to have a total of 10 done by the time I'm ready for bed. Mine are all the basic granny square pattern and I'm doing them in single colors (I'm not too good at swithing colors yet) I'm gonna look for another pattern though and try something a little more complicated. I would love to test out a few patterns and find something I really love to make the gahn I want to make.

Has anyone made a gahn out of just one big granny square? I thought about doing that with the basic pattern but wasn't sure how it would look so if anyone has done something like this could you let me know how it came out and if you like it?

darski · September 21, 2006

this link will take you to a post in the nursing home cal where I posted the link to my square. It didn't work when I tried to copy it here.

This is a great square and looks good in one colour.

Vickietoria · September 21, 2006

Hi! I've made 27 6" squares (regular granny) for Project Rest Assured, and I hope to make a few more tonight. My son is teething, so we'll see how much I do get done by the end of the week... We're going out of town over the weekend, and even though this CAL will be over, I'm looking forward to crochetting during the 6 hour car trip.
