:cheerI finally at 63 squares:cheer:cheer

 

I am going to work on some more today and hope to get to 75 by Halloween, not sure I will make it though

[wiz3283]

I am up to 15 and gonna try to get a few more done the nest few days. Got to finish testing a pattern and then back to squares.

 

Bonnie I have a 7 inch one too. I ran out of that yarn. If I can get some white today I will add a round of white to make it 8" otherwise I will mark it and send it too if you want.

thank you for the update, you can send it to me I vcn add a round before I put it with others. I haven't tested anything in awhile but those patterns of Lullabies and Lace are lovely, Everyone should check out Anna's patterns.

Hey ladies and gent(s)

 

I was away for the weekend (four days) and what a mighty job you've all done. I am so proud! I think I may just be stuck at 37 squares, maybe 38, because I found a 7 inch square I can enlarge. That's ok, it's more than half an afghan (or a lapghan) so I'm going to be OK with it so as not to stress myself out.

 

Congrats to all who are still going and keep it up, just a few more days :cheer:cheer:cheer

Ladies,

I think wherever you decide to stop is fine. This challenge has produce more squares than I thought possible, We are really close to reaching the 800 mark:clap. I know that we will reach it tomorrow for sure and that is a couple days before the end. I appreciate all of you helping here in addition to your other projects and I know that they are many. I have a few of my own pending that I either eed to finish or begin helping with.

I could never have had a better group of people to share this month with. Thank you again and again.

Hi everyone!!! It's a beautiful snowy central New York morning. Hubby gave me a dirty look cause I was singing Christmas carols :candycane:2snowman. Oh well, he'll get over it. I can't believe there are only 3 days left to our challenge. I guess I'd better get busy.

Have a great day everyone!!

[angelfire]

:bowFor those that have finished your squares for the challenge , thank you for your time and creativity:bow

:flower:flower

 

:yesCherri, you can have the snow, I will wait until after Halloween to have some on the ground, it snowed here on Monday but it didn't stick , which is good because I need to blow leaves one more time.

:autumn:autumn:autumn

 

:hugPineknott, thank you for putting us over the 800 mark last night.

I am still amazed of the outpouring of squares for this cause.

I was so hoping for snow here this morning also but none:cry:cry

but i can still sing "It beginning to look a lot like Christmas"

 

 

I have a total of 30 squares now:yay:yay

[Cherri]

Hi again! Here are my squares for today. That brings me to 112. And, I think that's a really good place for me to stop. Although I didn't reach my goal, I'm still very happy with what I've accomplished this month. Now, I have another project that I'd like to try to finish before the end of the month. I want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement throughout this challenge. You guys are the greatest!!!!!!

And Bonnie, thanks so much for leading us in this challenge. I had a blast!!

[Daisy]

Sorry Cherri, I can't catch up to your speedy fingers, as mine are still on the mend . However, I so far made it up to a baker's dozen (13 total so far). I feel sooooo bad that I couldn't do so much more. My spirit is so willing, but my stupid body craps out on me at the wrong time. That's what I get for aging. Where or where is that ol' fountain of youth?

Now I am going to try to make it to 15, then I will have to start weaving in all my ends before I mail them out.

Cheers to everyone for a job well done! Looks like Bonnie is going to have oodles of squares to play with, in organizing them into afghans for FARA.

Bless you, Bonnie, for being the trooper and leader that you are! You're Wonderful!

 

For all the FARA crocheters: :cheer:clap:yay:jumpyay:bounce:applause:2rock:cheer

[angelfire]

Sissie, 30 is amazing with all that you have going on, thank you so much:manyheart

Cherri, you have reached beyond every goal set, we are proud to have you as part of this challenge:c9, even when you were sick you were a superb

Daisy, what I can I say, a baker's dozen when you had surgery such a short time ago and you are still healing, you went above and beyond:yay

Jimbo, it is an honor to help raise awareness and to see the pictures from the auction.

Halloween is the last day of this challenge, have fun doing your fun things that day.

[grannytme]

Beautiful squares, Daisy!!! :cheer:clap:cheer:clap:cheer:manyheart

 

 

Thank you Cherri, it wasn't easy. I'm literally, like a horse with blinders on. I can't move my neck in any direction (up, down, back or sideways). I have to keep my head straight, so to crochet, I have to hold my work in front of my face and fiddle with my bad hand at the same time. It's a challenge, but it's well worth the fight until I heal. From what I understand, it's going to take a while.
