so I am not sure that we should penalize people that do smalller squares

 

I'm sorry. I didn't know that 3 inch squares counted. I thought they had to be at least 6 inches. My bad

 

As Emily Litella would say, "Never mind"

I did not say 3in squares counted nor did I think my squares counted as some grand total I only put down what I personally accomplished in the past three days and all my squares are going to women who have been beat and feel that no one care ....So to me they are the winners not I or anyone else.:D

 

 

BTW I love your squares darski

 

 

P.S I feel very bad today ......so do not take offense to anything I say

I got 6 (not 12") squares done, mainly Wednesday. Surely would have done a few more, if I hadn't been picking flowers, attending a 4 hr. visitation,(Mon.) and preparing for and attending my grandma's funeral,(Tues.) in another state. What I did accomplish was between naps in the car, and had to redo quite a few times,:bang due to not being totally awake, I guess.

Hopefully better luck next time.

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!!

 

Ok, first off, Lavenderbear has had an issue come up and has asked me to take over the closing of the CAL. Her dog is very sick with lukemia and has to be put down tomorrow, please keep them in your prayers.

 

Next order of business, I have 5 people that haven't reported totals yet, I'll give them till tomorrow evening, and then I'll draw names.

 

The prizes will only be drawn for people who made 6 inch squares and above, but as someone stated, the TRUE winners are the people, or animals that will benefit from the making of these squares. You ladies are truely remarkable!

 

Anyone wanting to send squares to Lavenderbear please PM me, I have her shipping address.

 

The total so far (including ALL squares made) is 873!!!!! WTG Ladies!!!:cheer:yay:clap

First I'd like to say that my thoughts and prayers go out to Lavenderbear.. I'm sorry about your dog. :( Our pets become part of the family and its hard to let one of them go. I think a :ghug might help you get through this. Take care.

I also agree that the true winners are the people or animals who recieve these blankets or other items. I think its great for all of us to work together to make the squares and send them to a charity of their choice. I think the contest motivates us to want to make as many as we can, but we all have busy lives and may not get as many as they would have liked but whatever the number it is it will help in someway.

 

Everyone did a great job! I look forward to next month when we do this again!:cheer

I will be praying for Lavenderbear during this time.

And, I do want to apologize for complicating things. Sorry, I'll just show up and crochet next time :hook:D

 

 

You didn't complicate anything! Don't worry about it!! :hug

 

Honestly, I didn't even read the rules....lol I just wanted to clairify it before the drawing of the names!:)

Yeah I hear ya darski, my hands tend to ache if I do to much. They used to go numb all the time but I had Carpel Tunnel surgery on both of my hands back in May (2 weeks apart) but they still ache some and get a little stiff by my thumbs. I think I might try some of the baby yarn next time, I seem to go faster with that. It's softer and not as stiff as the regular WW yarn. :D

 

I'm putting my together now, I'll post a pic tomorrow.:hook
