{{{{{{{{{{{{Nick!!}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Hi you!! So glad you posted!! I look forward to getting your square! (And um... guess it's a good thing I finally found the rest of my yarn, so that I can finish and mail your square! *big blush* I let everything wait for the last raffleghan squares.)

{{{{{{{{{{{{Arwen}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sweetheart, your squares arrived today. THANK you for the gift, love! :kissy:

Bit 07-22-2010 04:25 PM
Wooohooo! The last square is in! So now if you can, please send prayers or energy to help me figure out the best arrangement, and get going on putting the raffleghan together! We have two different colorways going, one solid and one variegated, and I think it's just going to be lovely!

Once I get some space cleared to lay the squares out with minimal feline supervision, I'll start taking pictures.

Also, I have some color-grabber cloths to make sure the dye doesn't run when I wash it.

I have been seeing this thread and wondering what was going on in here.
Looks like all of you are having fun. Okay, now I see what it is all about.
Happy Square Swapping! :clap:

I am sending out my squares today. I MUST apologize for the lateness and non-communicativeness on my part. As many of you might know me over the past several years, my online interests ebb and flow. I am currently enthralled in my 'real life' in a myriad of ways. Excuses aside, setbacks and all.. the aquares are done and I hope they will please all. I am well and not ill. I still *heart* you all and am also looking forward to the completion of the project. I will be printing off the yahoo email address list to mail my yarny pretties. Much love, hugs, and grins.

I got mine today! :) Many thanks.

THOSE squares are different. :)

If you knit or crochet, you are welcome to join us if we do another one. :)

I have received all squares as well.

response to Arwen ...
 
Arwen,

I do not know of any other "different" squares. This Square Swapper event is the first one I have dropped in on.

Thank you so much for the invitation to the next time around but all jokes aside, I cannot even sew on a button. When one comes off a shirt, I take it to my alterations lady. I did give it a try but I stuck myself so many times ... and that button I put back on the shirt did not look like the others ...only the edges of the button were visible. It had a great big wad of tangled up thread in the middle of it. I think I went into overdrive in trying to do a good job and sewed it on too much. :(

And ... Arwen, I really do think it is a wonderful thing for so many people to have so much fun ... umm ... knitting squares. ;)

Brock

Hello swapgan folks!

I wanted to tell you all what an AMAZING job you did on this afghan for the raffle. Such time, attention to detail and love went into making it! It was absolutely beautiful, and the minute I saw it, I knew I wanted it!

$10 in raffle tickets later, much to my dismay I did not win the treasure. The lucky winners were ABd & Prudence Juris! Later in the evening, my gf mentioned to them just how much I was pouting about not winning the afghan. Prudence Juris walked up to me, and said "I would like to give you an early birthday present...." and she gifts to me the afghan.

After cuddling with it on our 6 1/2 hour drive home, it now is displayed proudly on the edge of our bed.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your hard work, and tell you all how much I am enjoy a lil' piece of love from each one of you.

(((HUGS))))

{{{{{{{{{{{{Tonya}}}}}}}}}}}}} Bless you honey, thank you! I was so curious who got it!

Be sure you use a couple Color Catchers the first time you wash it; I put a box in with it.

What's a color catcher I crochet and I thought that the yarn is colorsafe??:|

lipstixgal 08-23-2010 03:10 PM
When you going to do another swap?? I want to do something next time please!!

Gemme 08-24-2010 12:50 AM
I just wanted to comment on how beautifully the swapghan turned out for the reunion. There were TONS of us dropping tickets like mad guys 'n gals to nab it.

Some yarn is colorfast and some isn't, lipstixgal, and since I didn't see the labels on the squares other people made I thought it would be good if I just included the Color Catchers. That's a product that looks kind of like dryer sheets; you throw one or two in the washer the first time you wash something, and they catch any excess dye that bleeds out, so it doesn't stain the lighter colored clothes (or in this case, the white yarn).

I took a pic of the afghan and original winners. It's posted in the BFP Reunion 2010 photos. I'm so glad Tonya got it as a gift. Super cool.

So...do we want to do this again? KNOWING that I will most likely drag my feet about sending my squares?

If we do, I'd want to start it in October or so simply because it's too hot right now.

OK. I always said my masochism ran to the cerebral. Count me in. I would like to do smaller squares this time. We could get some ideas online from other groups.

Arwen, knowing you'll drag your feet is ok. It sets the expectation, so to speak. LOL I can always do like I had to with ex-inlaws who were ALWAYS 2-3 HOURS late to things. If I wanted them there at 7, I would tell them 5 so they would show by 7:30! LOL


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 02:51 PM.
