project linus squares

[dreamweavers3621]

Hello,

 

I am doing a project linus charity through my church. What my sister and I are planning on doing is making 10 granny squares a week for 40 weeks which will give us 400 squares. In October and Novemeber we plan on getting together and whip stitching and bordering the blankets.

 

Does anyone want to join us? We can list weekly how many we have made to keep ourselves honest about the totals.

I will pop in now and again on this one... granny squares are easy & quick, and I would like to do something for charity. thanks for putting this out there

Thanks!

 

I am going to Joanne's to get alot of yarn today. Wondering if it is a good thing or a bad thing that I have my entire year planned out as far as gifts and personal things I plan on knitting and crocheting this year!

 

Welcome and hope to have you along.

My sister and I got the yarn yesterday and I am going to divivde the yarn into the projects I have planned for it. I do plan on starting to make the squares tomorrow. Will post how many I do and what yarn. Some will be in Red Heart and some will be in Vanna's Choice.

 

I may have to go in another two weeks and get some more.

So is this cal to make squares to send to you for your project, or for everybody to make squares and make afghans for project linus to send in independently?
