squares can be done in any of the cancer colors,Pleas don't forgrt to add the name of the person the squares are be donated for I just got 24 in the name of a young man here in town,the his squares are orange for his cancer.I did pink for breast cancer,I just had a couple request me to make there for there mother,so most of the squares are in the names of someone with cancer or who we have lost to cancer. thanks to you all and god bless

What size do the squares need to be? Also, what colors represent which types of cancer? Is there a link with such information?

[emeraldjayne62]

:hughttp://www.awarenessribbons.com/ribboncat.html, this site will give you the colors and 8"squares would be great, don't forget if it in the name of someone please give name and type og cancer so it can be added to the book thank you so much for taking the time to help

is there a particular address for these to be sent to i have the site with the different colors i wasnt sure where they would go i dont see anything in the site maybe i just didnt look hard enough

[mamabear10]

This lists 'sheer' for lung cancer..isn't there a different yarn color that would work better? Since some colors are listed as being for non-cancerous diseases, are those colors up for 'grabs' for this project?

When I made squares for another venture I used the light gray by Red Heart. Hope this is helpful

Granny I don't think that sight is afiliated with this square charity it is just an example of colors. You would have to PM for the address, usually.

http://ddcatalog.homestead.com/RibbonAwareness.html Here is another site that lists colors for awareness.

[emeraldjayne62]

I have a couple of questions. Can we put the name on the square of the person we're wanting to remember? Also, to whom does the completed afghans go? Thanks in advance for the info. I have two people I want to do squares for.

Here are some pictures of the 2 cancer afghan squares that you have requested.

The pattern is from Crojulee, here on Crochetville's free pattern link.

It's called Amy's Square.

Hi emeraldjayne,

I was wondering if the squares I sent on Mon. have arrived. The post office said you should receive it in 2 days.

Thanks.

[tmsmile]

Hi There,

 

Has anyone heard from emeraldjayne? I tried to contact her and haven't received a response. I know I read that she is disabled and was wondering if anyone has heard from her.

 

I hope all is well with her.

[karishema]

I received a PM from her on Saturday, so I'm sure she is alright.

I was wondering, what is the best way to send the squares. I just started and have only mailed one in a manila envelope with bubbles.

I would like to hear is there is a better method.

[emeraldjayne62]

Ive have sent them the same way and if its alot I put them in a box

[karishema]

Now, I will ask has anyone heard from emeraldjayne? There has been no new post since Tuesday. I will mail my squares to her anyway.

[tmsmile]

Yes, I heard from her and she is doing fine.

 

She has started on her afghan and in the Show and Tell section under cancer squares she has started a thread to show the received squares.
