Afghan in honor of Chase

[Tiga]

Salos - glad to hear it got there. It's a variation of the squares from Crochet Kim's angel afghan; her's was the prettiest angel design I could find. I really enjoyed (if you can say that about an afghan like this) making it in Chase's memory.

[salos]

I know, Tiga. It seems strange to find pleasure in making something when it's connected with a loss. I think it's okay, though, because love is what lasts.

 

Worm, thanks for letting me know what you made. I'm sure they're beautiful. I've seen your squares before.

[salos]

Aelita and Worm, your packages arrived. Thanks and thanks again.

 

I've started assembling the squares. I had to order more yarn so there might me a short delay in finishing it, but it shouldn't be too bad.

[mikki]

for you as you start assembling everyones squares. I've been checking the post but havent posted on it in awhile. Just thought i'd say once again thanks for starting this thread. I'm sure the in every square will be of some comfort to her when she recieves it.

[Aelita]

Wow glad you got my square I can't wait to see it.

[salos]

I've started joining. I hope my new supply of yarn comes tomorrow. I'll keep everyone updated at our progress.

[KnicKnac]

Can't wait to see it!

[salos]

My yarn came in, so now I can finish the ghan.

[salos]

Friends, the project is complete. I'm waiting for MizDuck to get back from vacation to send her a box. Will post photos afterwards. Hugs, Mary

The box shipped out today. I'll post photos after Kris receives it. Thank you all again for your help. The squares are so beautiful.

[mikki]

I'm sure she'll love it. Thanks so much for starting this for her, and joining the squares. I hope mine didn't throw the colors off of everyone elses. to you for all of your hard work.

[SupersirenIA]

are you still working on this? I have a TON of super soft yarn in beautiful greens, blues, and yellows... if so, let me know so I can send some.

[salos]

Friends, Mizduck received the box last night. I ended up making two ghans because there were so many beautiful squares. Here's a note she posted for us: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?p=754737#post754737

Each afghan has an angel square in it, and I made a chart to show who made each square. The yellow borders stand for Chase's halo.

 

 

I also had a few extra squares that I used with some of mine to make these snuggies for the Ugandan project:
