Square Swap (For Crochet/Knitting)

Arwen · 12-03-2009, 10:34 PM

I'm only counting votes of people on the list, y'all. sigh.

READ PEOPLE. READ. lol!!!!

Okay, Merrick, let me know if you only wanted in on the Pink/Green square. I put you down for both.

fishinabaggie · 12-04-2009, 05:49 AM

I would be happy to do a pink/green square also, so put me on that list, thanks.
It should be the shades of either or both the pink and /or green I am looking at now, correct?

Arwen · 12-04-2009, 09:25 AM

OH! I also need your email address please. Send it to me in a PM ASAP. I'll send out an email loop so we all have each other's emails and addresses.

Bit · 12-04-2009, 01:08 PM

I voted Autumn colors because it has the most variety but I'm really flexible with colors--there aren't many I don't like, lol...

Was it Liz who asked about the pink and green? Yes, it's the colors of the website--you should be seeing lime and fuschia, I think, right?

Do you need my email addy, Arwen?

Oh how I yearn to 'yarn' with the lovely Merrick. Sitting over a nice cup of tea, chatting about Butches (my favorite topic) doing the girlie chat, either knitting or crocheting, doesn't matter to me which. Although there is something to be said about the unique sound of the needles clicking when knitting.

As soon as I get these hands fixed, may I please request a 'date' with you Merrick and the Ladies? Perhaps at a Tea?

I practiced on small projects when just beginning, the entire time with my holster

buckled tightly at my waist - watching Davy Crockett. What a confused child I was!

I fondly recall my very first sweater with two rows of a cable pattern running down the front panels of each side of the buttons - must have been approximately 10 years old, which was nothing more than a mere 25 years ago . . . you do the math!

It was the most hideous multicolored purple however, I was convinced it to be pretty groovy at the time.

I do have a question though since it's been so many years having taken on a project, is it still necessary to roll your yarn into those huge balls prior to beginning?

Kudos

to all of you for your fascinating concept. Best of luck and have fun y'all.

I found some really cool 12" square patterns here:

Also, I picked up some pink/green yesterday that is the Lion Heart/Vanna White brand. Would you rather have the ones you mentioned here?

We have eleven folks with a possible twelfth if Hippychickgrl decides to join us.

I am a doofus and spaced the fact that the poll would be on the front page where EVERYONE could vote on it. So it's a freaking mess.

SO!

I would like to hear from all the PARTICIPANTS (only) on what color they want this afghan to be. Remember it is yours to keep or give as a gift so keep that in mind.

Here are the colors we talked about:

Purple (any shade including variegated) Neutral (tan, brown, black, ecru, white, varigated)

Autumn Jewel Tones (Red, Gold, Brown, Ebony, Green, Purple, variegated)

Blue (any shade including variegated)

Rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green, Indigo, Violet and variegated)

Next question: Is anyone opposed to a Yahoogroup loop for the sole purpose of exchanging addresses and letting each other know how we are doing?

View Poll Results: What color would you like the first swapghan to be? (Please vote ONLY if you are participating)
Purple (any shade of including variegated)	2	6.45%
Neutral	5	16.13%
Autumn Jewel (Gold, Rust, Red, Purple, Yellow, Brown, etc)	13	41.94%
Blue (any shade of including variegated)	9	29.03%
Rainbow Squares	2	6.45%
Voters: 31. You may not vote on this poll
