No worries - if you get the 6"x9" rectangles in the mail by the last week of March they should get here in time for the design event (PTE).

Stay warm!

Not sure what an polyester looks like either but I'm so glad someone else gathers all those acrylics and put them in the skeins for us to make

6"x9" rectangles.....

 

I'm just recovering from our small Pinners design event - watch your email a note is going out on the HAP listserv in a bit with details....

So.... how did everyone do last week on their

"make at least one 6"x9" rectangle a week" challenge??

[gramof11]

I am up to 5 rectangles made so far. I plan on making more. Right now I am really busy with family obligations, but I still plan on doing one a week and sending them the last week in March in time for the PTE

I'm going to try to get 20 or so out next week so you'll have them for April. Over half are soft white, per request!

 

How is everyone else doing??

 

Weather is beautiful and the yard is calling me!

Excellent! Excellent! My plan to get you to make more 6"x9" rectangles is working..... remember your plants need water and your wounded service members need warmth..... to your crochet hook!

I've made 8 so far. Dark red, dark green, dark blue, bone (light brown), grey, and three off-white. I am hoping to at least finish off my off-white skein before I have to mail them off.
