~*~Update~*~ Project is DONE - THANK YOU! Comfort-ghan Needed for My 2nd Mom...

[KnicKnac]

I just found out that a very dear and close friend of the family has breast cancer. I would like to make a comfortghan for her using 8" squares.

 

She is having surgery on Friday - they say it's stage one and that there is a 98% success rate with the procedure they are using, but she is taking it very hard.

 

Her colors in her house are all nuetral - so I would like to stick to a natural theme. I think that any type of "fall" colors would work well with her.

 

ETA: Any type of yarn will be ok, I will make it work. But please no wool, she is allergic to wool

 

Could I count on my Crochetville Friends to help me with putting something together for her? This is my very first attempt at making a afghan of squares but I know that the people around here will be able to help me put something together that will be most comforting.

 

Please PM me for my address.

 

ETA: OCTOBER 9, 2006 - So far I have received squares from the following people. I want to keep a record in this post so that I know I am up to date with saying my "thank yous"

Thank you all for helping me with this endeavor. I have had a few who haven't posted here PM me so I am getting a good response! I still need more tho...since it's an 8" square afghan I need more than if it was a 12" square afghan.

[ChainOFools]

Hi KnicKnac!

 

I got two mailed off to you today! I asked the lady in the post office how long the package would take to get to you and she very helpfully said, "I just don't know!" How's that for service?! Hopefully it won't take that long!

[angelfire]

I sent a package off to you today... clerk said should be there Monday

[coolhockeymom]

I will send mine out in the morning

[KnicKnac]

Oh wow! You all are just angels! Thank you so much!!!

[pineknott]

I would like to help with a few

[KnicKnac]

Thank you pineknott - I sent you a PM with my address!

[auntbubbels]

Let me know if you still need a square. I started one in brown but didn't want to commit to you because I wasn't sure if I would get it done in time. Well I can, so send me you address I will send the square to you if still needed -

[KnicKnac]

Janet, I PM'd you.

 

Look! I got my first delivery of squares, thank you lhasaapsolady!!!! They are GORGEOUS!!!

 

[Daisy]

KnicKnac, my squares will be in the mail tomorrow for sure! I just can't get to the post office today, but at least with the extra time, I can make another square for you.

Daisy.

[KnicKnac]

No worries Daisy, there really is NO rush. I appreciate ANY and all help!

[sakurasaku]

If you still need squares, please PM me with your address. I'm not very fast, but I can do at least a couple of squares. Would Red Heart SS in "Farmland" (variegated muted greenish and brownish colors) work? It's very fall-ish.

[KnicKnac]

Thank you sakurasaku, I just pm'd you.

[auntbubbels]

I mailed my square today -
