Circles of Hope to help local domestic abuse shelter

[angelfire]

I know you said that the tails don't have to be tucked in, that you would do that. Do you use the tails to sew them together? I was just wondering cause I am one to NOT send something to someone with the tails untucked

I have started making some, but have the tails tucked.

I meant to say that if you didn't want to tuck tails that is fine, I will do it if needed.

Gthank you

and Marzee for the circles that I received today.

 

I am so thankful for all the help that I have received with this, I know that I have enough to get another afghan done after the holidays.

angelfire - Are you still wanting circles of hope - that is, into the new year. I'd be glad to do some if still needed and I believe you said all sizes (I would follow your directions posted, but some yarn would come out larger or smaller).

Hey angelfire could you post of picture of what a finished one looks like - the blanket I mean not the Circles of Hope - curious Thanks!

[angelfire]

I will post a picture as soon as I get the next one done. Hopefully soon after the holidays.

I keep tucking tails and adding them as I can find time.

[WendySue]

I just sent a box of circles for you that my mom made.

[angelfire]

thank you very much:hug

[bailey]

angelfire - could you pm your address, to send the circles. I tried to send you a pm but it wouldn't go through for some reason.

Thanks, bailey

[angelfire]

sent you a pm with my addy, thank you for helping

Angelfire, are you still continuing this into 2009? I've got a ton of yarn I need to get through quickly and this may be the perfect thing to do.

[CrochetAmore]

Angelfire, I haven't forgotten about you! I've finally finished up all of my commitments for the year except one small one that will be finished by the end of this week. I really want to squeeze this one in beofre I start next year's charity crafting! I was just wondering if there's a particular color that you need, or maybe have an over abundance of... And also curious if there's a particular color you use to join them together?

[angelfire]

I join with pink, blue, white, black and sometimes a variegated. I try to keep them cheerful and only use the black with variegated circles. I love the kaleidoscope of colors that make each afghan unique.

I will continue making these as long as I receive circles. I take my time and tuck tails and join as I go. I will post a picture of the next one that is finished after the holiday and I get caught up again.

Thank you for your continued interest.

[angelfire]

I received a large box today from Wendy (made by her mom) and from Shawn. Thank you so much for helping keep this project moving.

[Amethyst Mist]

Angelfire, I am making you circles, I just want to get up a decent amount (at least 100) before I ask for your address and send them to you.

[Amethyst Mist]

Angel fire, just wanted to let you know I've made about 25 so far.

[angelfire]

thank you so very much. Everyone has been wonderful with this, I appreciate each circle. Happy Holidays

[bailey]

I sent around 35 circles the beginning of January. Have no idea if they were received or not.

[angelfire]

I am sorry I am out of town, will check with my hubby tonight. I wll be back home this weekend

[eyrthmother1]

I thought I'd come and give this thread a "bump" up, and see if angelfire has any picts of the ghans she has made from the circles.

I have recently finished cleaning out the craft room. I found a bunch of little balls of yarn. I will start working on these in the morning!

[grandmabap]

I'll be glad to help you out, pm your address and I'll get them in the mail this weekend.

 

You're wonderful for sewing in the ends.

I'm making them on the weekends during my sons 2 hour hockey clinic both days. i have 2 bags done. when the clinic ends in june there will have been 4 weekends and i'll send them all at once. i'm just a bit over 200 now.

 

how any does it take to make an afghan?

[TCarra]

Hi Mary ~ I read through this topic a few days ago, and if I recall correctly, I believe it was mentioned that it takes 300 to make an afghan.

[edited to add: Comment on Page 10 confirms quantity needed.]

 

I've been working with my left over baby (sport weight) yarn, and waiting to see if there are any updated posts indicating that these little circles are still needed.

[grandmabap]

Has anyone heard from angelfire regarding where to send the circles. I have pm her a couple of times asking for the address and haven't heard anything, just thought I'd check.
