Kiri, I just read your earlier posts about you not getting your very important mail and that was just horrible! But then I got to the happy ending!:cheer God bless the college and their understanding and thank the Lord :clap everything is going better for you now.

 

Did you ever find out what happened with the mail situation?

 

:manyheart:hug

 

I don't know, but quite often when I come home or go out I find the front door wide open... So, I don't know if that's all it is, someone's not shutting the front door properly and someone walking past is just taking the opportunity, or if someone in my house is taking my mail, I just don't know. But it's kinda worrying, Im just glad that my bank cards and stuff get sent to my local branch and I collect them! So, I don't know, but I'm not totally poor, which is a relief. :D

Hello Everyone!

 

I got the hook yesterday!

 

Sorry I'be been a little AWOL from C'ville for a while. My grandmother was very ill and has finally passed, she lived a full life till 90. She's also the one who taught me to crochet! Things will settle back into normal now, and I will be off and running!

You are so welcome, Bonnie! Continuing, on-going thanks for all of your hard work following up, coordinating, receiving squares and maybe soon assembling them together.

 

This is such a rewarding project and I'm so glad to see others contributing squares even though they won't get to use Jimbo's hook. God bless us all as we crochet squares with thoughts, prayers and blessings for those in different stages of this horrible disease.

 

I just finished my 5th square and I used Krystal16's beautiful Eternity Squared pattern. It's on my list of WIMs now to make an afghan for my home with this lovely square.

 

I am really enjoying the creative title changes of the thread as the hook makes its travels. "Baking" not only goes with "Cookie Hooker" but also with "Idaho" potatoes. I'm anxious to see what you come up with when it makes it to Michigan. Should be interesting bouncing it off "loopy". :loco

 

:manyheart:hug

dont worry all is dry and hot here as it should be...yuck..we are back to no rain and 100 and over days. and high electric bills. so my mail carrier should have no trouble getting it to me, that is unless my weiner dog Sofy is outside. she does not like him and if she is in my front yard he wont leave the mail. so its back to the back for you Sofy...I must have this hook..

YAY! Finally got all the permissions to use the button! Here it is:

All images used with permission of the copyright owners

 

Now, I don't know how to go about linking it and besides, what do I link it to? My first thought would be to link it to our blog rather than this thread.

 

Any help is appreciated!

:eek :eek I went to look at the blog and found no one is posting I was hoping to see all the wonderful reasons people are making these squares for the cause . :think It can't take more than five minute of your time when you are done with the hook to post a comment on how much you liked the hook ,,why you were making squares in who's honor you are making them for this is a wonderful cause but it could help people suffering with cancer fight .....

 

hopefully I will see many more post in the comming weeks

The hook left Beth yesterday to travel to TxCrochetlover, being they are both in Texas it shouldn't take too long:hook

 

On another note, Loopy1 has added a sub-album to the Traveling hook items to display the squares she has been making before the hook arrives to her. If others would like to do the same, feel free to do so as I am sure others would love to see your squares.
