Squares for a Special Young Lady Needed - UPDATE POST #73

texasredhead · December 27, 2007

I have done black a lot, but when I am doing squares for kids I really like to use the Red Heart or Caron? denim blues variegated colors in the one pound skein. It is enough to do it all and looks really nice with all of the other colored granny squares. Somehow, in my mind I find black a bit depressing and not pretty in most kids rooms....sorry if I offend some who like black, but that is just my opinion. And for a girl, I might just use hot pink or a color she really likes.

Thanks for clearing that up! Oops...I have never done that. Guess I better start. Thanks CD Bear for putting them on for me. I just mailed them yesterday so you should have them by Monday at the latest!

No problem Deb!! I'll watch for them!!!!

I'm not offended at all.........at first I thought I'd use the pink/purple variegated, but I don't want to take anything from the beautiful squares y'all sent. I do like that denim blue though. What I think I'll do is take some of the squares with me to Michael's or WalMart, and see what they look like with each color..........

Thanks for helping me to see another view, Texasredhead!!!!

I'm mailing 2 squares tomorrow! Would have been sooner but I have been sick and the weather here is yucky.

What about White? I think the squares would really "POP" with it!

nici · December 28, 2007

I've got some ready to go but can't send them until med next week.

I'm just not wild about using white Deb........I want the blankie to be something she (and her mom) won't be afraid to use. Ya know?

I also saw an afghan edged with camo pink and black,,,it was stunning!!!! One the squares are edged with the same color, they all seem to work no matter what colors they are. :hug

Do you still need squares? I have a bunch that I can send I've had them sitting here waiting for me to get motivated enough to join them. But if you need more let me know and I will send these to you.

Camo Pink?!?!?!? Oh man, does that give me an idea!!! I have a good bit of that in my stash somewhere.....I'll have to try that!!! You are SO awesome, girl!!!!

nanmeyers · December 30, 2007

Do you stil need more squares? If you do PM me and let me know where to send them. I have some pink and pink and white I can send. :mail

CDBear · December 30, 2007

Thank you so much ladies!!!! :manyheart :hug :yay

I think I have enough squares, with what Nan and Nana have promised, along with any more that are on the way. I can't wait to put the squares together, and show y'all what we've come up with!! I'll keep you posted as to the progress, and when I give it to Tana.

This is the bestest place in the whole wide world!!!!!

hayhook · December 30, 2007

Christi, I have mine ready to be mailed, but due to the weather and a few other unexpected setbacks I haven't made it to the post office. I will mail them on Monday. Please keep us updated on her progress. :hug

CDBear · December 30, 2007

That'll be great Jean!! Thanks!

mad4crochet · January 9, 2008

An update.......

She went back to school on Monday, but is still not feeling well. I don't think she's gone back this week....... She's not able to do a bunch without hurting. I think her mom is considering a second, and third opinion......

She and her family are in my prayers. :hug

I sent 4 squares out on 01/02 or rather I had my daughter do it for me. If you don't get them I will send some more.

Christina92786 · January 10, 2008

If you do need more squares let me know...I'm working on a few for someone else and I have some great bright colors!

Dare2BDifferent · January 26, 2008

How is the afghan coming? How is the young lady as well?

I had been wondering the same thing as well.

CDBear · January 29, 2008

Please forgive me for not posting sooner.......

Tana is back on Homebound Status, and has an appointment with another doctor next week. In the meantime, she has begun radiation treatment. It's been hard for her to keep food down, but her spirits remain high.

I plan to put squares together later this week, and will post some pics. Since going back to work, I'm finding my crochet/knit time is not as abundant as I would like. Again, I thank you all for your generosity and your prayers.....

Love,

Christi

Hello!

I finished the blankie last night!!! As I was going through the squares, I noticed that most of them had a pink/purple theme, so I decided to use them for Tana's blankie. I'll be using the rest for another blankie for another young woman we know who just found out she has cancer as well. She just turned 21.....

John has the camera at work, but he's supposed to remember to bring it home today, so I can take some pics.

Again, thank you to all of you who contributed to this cause. Because of you, two young women will receive warmth and comfort.

I can't wait to see it! I'm sorry to hear that another young lady has been diagnosed with cancer. If you need more squares for her blanket, pm me. I'll be happy to send more your way. :hug
