I have yarn. I am experimenting with patterns.

We are still at last count missing two folks on the Yahoo list.

If you are not getting email from the bfp_swapghan list, you are not on the list. Let me know by PM and I will send out another invitation.

We've posted pictures of the yarn. And some squares are also showing up.

I've finished one square (well I haven't truly finished it because there are threads hanging off) and started the second one. Having so much fun doing this, y'all!

Thanks to everyone who is playing/knitting/crocheting along!

I finished one granny square (including ends) but I find myself wishing for a different pattern, so I'm experimenting with a bedspread motif, hoping the difference in fiber will up the final measurement to 12". I may or may not go back to granny squares, lol....

If it is not 12", maybe try crocheting a border?

Oh! No Arwen, tis the other way, tis likely to be way too big, rather than too small... the yarn is twice as thick as bedspread cotton, yanno?... er, maybe more than that, even....

I may be crocheting but frog-it-back girl is still utterly appropriate!
