[pineknott]

Judianne,

I'm still adding to the ones from the CAL,I'm almost at the # that I want to send,my daughter's move this week has slowed me down some,next week I should be making better progress

I'll pm you when I'm getting ready to send them out.

[judianne]

Thanks, Linda...I have some stuff to work with for at least this week, so whenever you send some squares will be fine!

[judianne]

Well, gang, I'm just about finished with the lengthwise strips for this colorful ghan...and it's really bright and pretty. Thanks, Donna from OK (a fellow member of Stitches of Love) for sending the huge supply:hug...you made it possible to stitch this one up as a full sized afghan. To keep the pattern the way I started it, I have 6 squares left over - to be applied toward the next blanket!

 

Once it's finished I'll post a picture here:hook

As promised, here's the ghan made with the bright squares Donna sent me. I loved working on it!

Hi!!

 

I have a TON of bright colored yarn laying around, and I would love to help!! This is what I'll use for my 200 Blocks CAL!! Perfect!

 

Where should I send them to?

[angelfire]

that is lovely. I know that it is bright and should give contrast in any room, someone will love it

[judianne]

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback...you should see how bright the colors are in person!

Hi, ladies....everyone's been so generous! When the mail came today and I had 4 packages of squares I knew it was time to pause so I can get caught up. I'm glad I wasn't home to see the mail carrier with all that!

Maybe around St. Patrick's day I can handle more. I'll still be updating the site with pics of the finished ghans.

Thank you for such a wonderful start!

More later!!

 

PS...if you've already sent some parcels that's fine!!

[truckin Patty]

I will send my at that time. We are Arizona now and hope to get a load headed home soon, so will mail them them after St. Pat's day. The pics are super.

[judianne]

Thanks so much, Patty! I'm amazed at how easily I'm able to put these ghans together - and I'm enjoying it. It must be because I know where they're going, because I never used to like joining squares together at all!

I'm looking forward to seeing your work!

Safe travels!

[angelfire]

Ok, I will wait until after St Patrick's day to send you any squares. Thank you for the heads up.

[judianne]

I'm nearly done joining this next ghan...pics coming by the end of the week!

Then to dive into the huge tote filled with the others! I also have at least 2 long strips, which, when edged, will make great scarves!

 

I LOVE my "stand by army" of crocheters!

[losingmymind2]

Wow, your fingers are really flying!

[judianne]

Kathy, I'm amazed, too, at how fast I'm working - it's just with so many new squares coming in all at once I had to hit the pause button on donations. Everyone was great!

I'll be calling you when I want to pass on a batch of ghans so you can bring them up to the hospital.

Hope all is well....

Thanks, Jessica! I'll be ready to add to the pile by then!

[losingmymind2]

Let me know before you get buried in them, Judi. I'm not great at joining, but I can give it a try.

[judianne]

Kathy, I'll be sure and shout for help BEFORE I feel like I'm going down for the third time! ...almost...

[judianne]

Hi, back at ya! And Welcome to the 'ville!

What's your name?

I would welcome the squares (6 inch if you can manage), but if you could hold on to them for a couple of weeks until I put a dent in my current supply, I'd appreciate it.

As we get closer to St. Patty's Day just send me a PM (private message) and I'll give you my address.

Happy "hooking"!

[truckin Patty]

I'm just glad there is someone who likes to join squares, I don't that is why I don't do them very often. Now I can make a bunch and use up a lot of my scraps. Can't wait to see pics

[knikki]

Now I know what to do with that skein of turquoise that I *thought* would be perfect for edging the BICO I am working on. Turns out if was not the right choice.

 

I might also have a couple of really bright scarves that are edged or double stranded with fun fur. Not as functional as they are pretty, but they would be good for women wanting to cover a tracheotomy scar.

[judianne]

That'll be great Knikki! I'll be looking forward to getting your turquoise squares (one of my favorite colors - as well as my birthstone!) 6 inch squares, if you could...thanks. And when you're ready to send them I'll PM my addy to you.

 

And Patty - for years I hated joining squares - until I learned how to do it properly - then it was easy. It's kind of hypnotic, really, and very relaxing...
