I just ran out of Winter White yarn, Caron's Perfect Match. The nearest store that might carry it is 45 miles away. I ran out right at the end of a border. Pout, pout. Well, everything else is going well so I can't complain.

 

Thank you all for the squares! It will be very satisfying when our project is done.

That's exactly what happened to me, too! I have had the squares done for weeks. Just didn't have a big envelope to send them, then I needed stamps, then tape.....

 

:clap :cheer

 

So glad they got there soon enough - I was worried they wouldn't make it in time.

 

What's funny is, those four were done two weeks ago - I was just hung up on the dern pattern for the big one! I could have done more smaller ones instead. I should have, as a matter of fact.

 

Note to self: next time, DON'T TRY SOMETHING NEW for a charityghan.

Mary I can look around at WalMart and Hobby Lobby for some tomorrow! (I'm only what 3,000 miles away?) Just joking... WalMart is five minutes from here. I would go now but I don't like going out in the dark by myself.

If I can't find Caron Perfect Match, would RH or some other brand be okay? Are you far into it to have to rip it out?

I mailed out a box of squares yesterday!

Tina, I'm going to call our nearest Hobby Lobby today and see if they have the color I need. Then DH and I can make a trip on Monday. It's a city we like to shop in anyway. THANKS!

 

Chiscrochetcrazy and Breger3, thank you so much!

[Mom w/a Motif]

Okay. Oh, you're in Iowa. Why was I thinking Canada? (That's why I said 3,000 miles away...)

 

Hope you can find it!

Dragonfli, your package came today. Thank you so much for the lovely squares.

Mary,

 

I am happy you got them so quickly. They seemed to get there faster in an envelope as opposed to the box I sent the first time. All of the Comfortghans you have posted so far are so lovely. What a wonderful job you did, and how increadibly kind of you to put so much time, love and effort into this project. I can't wait to see the last few. If you find you need anything further just post or pm me.

Denny:

 

I am happy you received the box of squares, it took longer to get to you than I anticipated. I mailed the envelope to Salos almost a week later and you got them a day apart. I am glad you have them and can't wait to see the finished product. You are a very special kind of thoughtful to put this confortghan together and donate your time and effort. I am sure the Roberts family will feel the love and well wishes that went into each stitch.

Today we received packages and boxes from Chiscrochetcrazy, Breger3, and a friend at Project Rest Assured.

 

Chiscrochetcrazy also sent me a birthday gift. What a nice surprise! I'll post a photo soon.

 

Thank you, thank you.

[Mom w/a Motif]

Mary do you mind if I save the photo of the squares (I forgot to take one) and of the afghan when it is done? (For my blog...)

 

I can't wait to see them in an afghan too. Do you still need more squares?

 

Tina

[salos]

Tina, I would be glad for you to have the photos. I don't know how to send them to you; DH can help with that I'm sure.

 

Thanks, but I don't need new squares. I need to finish this project off and get on with family things. We'll end up with twelve afghans I think.

[Mom w/a Motif]

I could just right click and save it to my computer, no problem!

 

Thanks Mary!

Afghan #8 is made from squares by Worm, Lost Cove, Sahahne, Chrispersmom, Donna from Project Rest Assured, and myself.

 

Bravo, ladies.

[Sahahne]

Wow Mary, you have done a fantastic job! All the afghans so far look beautiful. And a big thank you to your hubby for posting up all the photos for us. I love to see what other people have made, and how all the squares come together in one afghan so definitely appreciate it. Thank you to you both

[theworm]

I have been trying to "stay in touch" with this thread, but may have missed a few posts. Does anywone know how Denny's comfortghan is coming along? All of the squares are looking so lovely it is making me itch to do a Grannyghan!!

[salos]

It looks like we're going to end up with thirteen afghans. GO TEAM!

 

Thanks for the kind words, Worm and Sahahne. We're doin' all right.

Coralie,

I received your squares the other day, but my computer has been down until today. Thank you very much! I will begin putting the squares together, because I think I have received almost all of the packages, I think I have one more coming. I'll give you an update as I proceed. Thanks to everyone that has contributed.
