3 Day Charity Square-A-Long!

Recommended Posts

Hello! I've hosted two months of these charity square-a-longs and am FIRED UP for another one, which will be starting on Monday!!! :cheer Get your hooks and yarn ready (this is a GREAT way to use up scraps), set your personal goal, and come join us!!! Here are the rules . . .

Everyone is FREE to participate, no matter what size squares you are making! However, those who are making 6" or larger will be entered into the contest! Like last time, there will be a GRAND PRIZE WINNER for the one who makes the MOST CHARITY SQUARES! And then there will be a drawing of THREE OTHER WINNERS drawn among all participants, no matter how many you've made!! This will begin Monday morning (when you get up and in your time zone) until Wednesday night (when you go to bed in your time zone). I will need everyone to post their TOTAL NUMBER OF SQUARES once their time is up, and I will post the winners Thursday night! I will be participating too, just like before!

Are you ready?! Are you set?! We're almost ready to go!! :yay

I would love to take part in this one, barring any unexpected things cropping up :) Silly question, when the squares are all made, do you want them forwarded to you or are we to donate them to our own 'pet' projects?

 

Very nice of you to do this, by the way :hook

Ok, I'm just getting into a lot of this, so would someone please enlighten me? What do we do with the finished square(s)? Just to be sure I have it all straight, the Monday you are talking about for a start date is 10/30/06; or am I confused?:confused I will try, but can't commit to anything, as we are getting ready to be able to leave on short notice, as my grandmother in CO is close to death. I am a terrible procrastinator. :turtle If I can't make this one, maybe the next.

Hello! I see some of you are going to join me next week! Yes, it is for this upcoming Monday through Wednesday (10/30 - 11/01), and you may make the squares for your own projects or donate them to any charity of your choice! I personally am making mine for the group I help co-own here in Michigan! We make lapghans, afghans, hats, scarves, etc. for foster children, veterans, the homeless, crisis pregnancy Moms and children, and more!

This is gonna be FUN . . . again!! :clap

wow I would love to join this. I think it would be great for charity. It would be interesting to see how many I can get done.

 

So I start on monday morning in my time zone and finish on wednesday in my time zone, is that correct.

 

I cant wait to start. My lapghan will be for a old aged care home. They are in need of blankets for the residents there.
