You are right! 12" squares.

We need a math person. lol!

So:

1. 12 people

2. 12 12" squares

3. Any pattern-knit or crochet (no quilt squares, sorry!)

4. Sign up by Dec 31 (late joiners ok if we don't have enough?)

5. Squares due by April 30 (That's four months so three squares a month)

6. We'll decide on colors when we get a few more folk in here.

I'm in.
I love purple.
I crochet like a mad woman.
Oh wait.
I AM a mad woman.

This is a great idea!

I know that Jess would be glad to see some of the many tubs of yarns I have go somewhere! I ran across a great sale at Michael's last year and well, being tactile... you get the idea! Bamboo... alpaca... oohhhhhh.... makes me wanna go home and just pet the skeins!

I never learned how to do granny squares, but I am sure I can make something work.

Would someone please be so kind to remind me later in the month? Its a busy time for us

on a calendar/fiscal year and I wouldnt want to forget!
