Square Swap (For Crochet/Knitting) - Page 3

Selenay · 12-03-2009, 07:03 PM

The next poll should have a response just for compulsive poll-clickers. Perhaps, "I can't knit but I like fuzzy balls"?

NotAnAverageGuy · 12-03-2009, 07:15 PM

Laughs at myself, i voted and I didnt read the whole question on the front page

hahahaha

maybe I need to take up this knitting stuff

MsMerrick · 12-03-2009, 07:19 PM

Sure I could contribute a square, knitted ..I have tons of Blues, but I can probably come up with something else, if necessary. I am still not quite sure how this all works, but I'll do that
Linus, you really have to mak e the Circle one of these days.. We can teach you to knit or crochet

Bring K for goodness sake ; )

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

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?

I have absolutly no interest in the Pink & Green, I am only interested in the original.

Arwen · 12-04-2009, 09:23 AM

If you are on the list below, you are agreeing to make twelve 12" squares and to mail eleven to the other people on this list. Let me know ASAP if this is not what you expected so I can take you off the list.

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?

Okay. For the pink and green yarn, I found the follow. These are Red Heart Super Saver no dye lot so they should be really easy to find.

PINK=Pretty 'N Pink
GREEN=Spring Green

I'm also teaching the Pixie how to make a granny square.

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?

Your pink and green will be fine! Those colors are just in case anyone wants to find good colors in cheap yarn!

FAQ's

Any pattern is fine
12" squares are necessary
Knit or crochet is good
April 30th is the date the squares should be out of your house and in the hands of the rest of the swappers
Please PM your emails to Arwen. If you put them in the thread, anyone can grab them including spammers.

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.

uhm...hmmmm...it's not that i dont suddenly have a lot of time on my hands...b'cuz i do. but i'm not sure y'all should depend upon me for a square. i can't seem to get past book mark stage...and that's being generous. if size matters, it appears i'm just creating bulky dental floss

No worries.

The squares aren't due until end of April. Want to keep trying until 12/31? Maybe you can find others in your area to knit/crochet with so you can get past that stage?
