Thank you I will go and check my email right now. I have had problems receiving my email for some reason . I even checked in my spam box just in case but it wasn't there. I am not sure why I am not getting them, I think it is a problem with yahoo. I appreciate you responding to me so quickly. :hug

No worries..... sometimes our email does odd things.

I'll keep my eyes open for your 6"x9" rectangles - will let you know when they arrive.

Deborah: Just started my first rectangle last night:) I 'm so excited to be

able to give something back to those who serve our country. I come from a military family so to speak and my daughter and son-in-law also serve, so this is such a wonderful opportunity to be involved in.

thank you:yay

I challenge everyone that has replied to this thread to make one rectangle a week until March 31st. It is only like 7 rectangles and think how many it could add up to.

Julia from NorCal · February 22, 2008

I'm in on the challenge. I've already made 7 total and still have yarn in my stash to use that's color appropriate. I'm using up the ends of skeins and loving every minute of it. Maybe I'll have an excuse to get some more yarn!!! What a temptation. :devil

Thanks for the motivation for the next few weeks. I love this charity.

angelfire · February 22, 2008

I can do the challenge, thank you for bringing it up.

KublaKhan · February 22, 2008

Deborah,

I have finished putting together the two rectangle sets you sent me. I should be able to send them back on Monday along with whatever rectangles I make up as well. :hook

Thank you to

Gramof11

Julia from NorCal

and

Angelfire

for accepting the challenge

"to make at least one 6"x9" rectangle a week until March 31st"

Each 6"x9" rectangle is another step to thanking a member of our military wounded in service to keep us safe!!

Count me in...I have the yarn sitting here so all I needed was a bit of a push. One...or more;)...a week is so doable!

I'm in. :crocheting That's a great idea! Hopefully I will have time to do more...but....I will pledge to do at least one a week.

StarStrong · February 22, 2008

That is a reasonable challenge and I am in. I can do one a week.

StarStrong · February 23, 2008

Thanks ScoobyDoo.... and maybe you can score some points by using some of your stash acrylic :lol

wrenak · February 23, 2008

I was hoping to do one a day, but I got distracted with other projects. I'm working on #3 today. I can do at least one a week. They're simple, basic rectangles because I'm new at this, but I think they will work well in the afghans, anyway.

StarStrong · February 23, 2008

This is great! :clap

If each of you meet the challenge and make 7 6"x9" acrylic rectangles it will equal enough for one more handmade afghan at our April design event!!

Another wounded military member will be thanked :yay

Thanks to

Wrenak

LizaKaye · February 23, 2008

I'm in for at LEAST 7 rectangles too!

smith · February 23, 2008

I've got a dozen ready to go....I could whip up another 7 to tag along.

proudmama762003 · February 23, 2008

Maybe I just missed the post but I have done squares before but never rectangles can someone tell me how to do one or direct me to a link?

smith · February 23, 2008

http://www.rectangle6x9.org/

At this site they give great pointers to start....click on the left side-bar where it says crochet.

It does help to have a peice of cardboard cut out to measure.

:cheer Happy Crocheting!! :cheer
