comfortghan for wounded soldier/ cousin of ours

[loopy1]

...he is feeling some better and you know the military

well nuff said about that lol. i am a little suprised they are sending him back there with the injurys he has:eek:eek:think:think

 

I'm so surprised they're sending him back, too! Oh my! How rough that must be on Sherrie now after what happened. I'll still be keeping them in my prayers.

 

Vicki, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get any more squares made for you. I certainly would if I could and if that changes I will let you know.

thats alright loopy, yes terry i got your awesome squares too, you all are wonderful. i am sorry terry i didn't know your crochetville name and posted it as, your real name, sorry hon, but yes i got them yesterday thank all of you soooo much its getting closer and closer to being enough squares, loopy dear please do NOt worry about making more i appreciate any that all of you have made. i might just make the ghans a bit smaller although i am on a roll got another 4 done today while waiting for the doc:D he thouight it was cool when i told him what we were doing:yes:yes:yes:manyheart:manyheart:manyheart

[loopy1]

Of course it's cool! It's one of the coolest things I have ever heard of! All the giving and charity work that knitters and crocheters do is so wonderful!

 

Not only is it cool but it is so very heart warming as well, isn't it?

 

[mythunderbird]

wanted to let everyone know i have started putting richards ghan together, since i am making them both one decided to make it a wee smaller than the 8 x 10 square now is 7x10 so not much different but it leaves me enough squares to make for sherries almost. i have 2 rows done already but took a small break as my elbows are giving me a spot of trouble:manyheart:manyheart

[jmccrochet]

That's terrific news Vicki! (except your elbow). I'm so glad to hear you have enough to make them both ghans. I can NOT wait to see how they come out. How are you joining?

Oh, Vicki, you crack me up. I understand the elbow pain. I'm so sorry to hear Richard is having a rough time, but I can only imagine what he's going through and that poor young woman who is going through it with him. Please, Please, Please, don't hesitate to ask if you need more squares, I PROMISE I won't send you one as wonky as the one in that last batch

Vicki, I haven't been back to this thread for awhile and I'm so very sorry to hear about all this. Sweetheart, you are in my prayers and so is the rest of your family. It did make me smile when you said your uncle was ready to go home and see Jesus. Praise God! Is Aunt Carol the widow of the uncle who passed away? Will be praying for her, too.

 

Saying a prayer for you as you work on these afghans...I can imagine it's a lot of work! I've only ever put together one afghan. It was back in the 70s and wasn't very big.

 

Lots of Love to You!

[mythunderbird]

they turned out sooo pretty too all those bright colors you can just tell how much love and care went into these squares, if i know my cousins i better take a box of tissues with me, they are not going to believe it:cheer :cheer i can't wait thanks again everyone, without you all i could NEVER have done this, i would have made richard a ghan but would not be the masterpieces these both are. we are hoping he is not going to get sent back since he is still having alot of problems, he is homoe till jube at least, pray the army sees he isn't ready yet to go back there for 4 months. would have been 2 but they extended the tours thru september:no thanks again . without you all again would not have happened this way. its super duper, can't wait to finish them:yay

[mythunderbird]

today is the day:D:D i finally finished the ghans and the kids are both going to get theirs, i am so excited, thanks to all of you, you have no way of knowing how much this will mean to them and me, you guys are awesome:manyheart:manyheart:manyheart:manyheart
