I'm glad they worked for you! They just didn't for me.

Clover crochet hooks really make a diference for me. Of course i lose them a lot and they are EXPENSIVE. 5-7 for a hook takes a bite out of my budget.

And I need to go get one because I have a project that is going to need a bigger hook than I currently have. WHINE.

Squares got put on hold. I have 6 finished with the 7th in progress. So that means only 2 more after that. W00t! Please make sure your name and address are in the Yahoogroup database!

And pretty please, could everyone do a check in? I'm getting concerned because I haven't heard from some of you. If you are not doing this, you really need to let us know so we can adjust what we are doing. thanks!

{{{{{{{{{{{{Christie}}}}}}}}}}}}}} you're such a sweetheart!

So. I was shocked to realize I wasn't as done as I thought; mine all needed another row. My new tally is pink-n-green, done; two autumns, done; three autumns, need one more row. Then I'll be back to making more autumn squares.

Should we wait to mail them out until we have our full sets done? or should we mail them as we finish them?

Arwen, Nick says he's still in. He's been working a lot of double shifts and is beat, but he'll be back.

Hi all.
I am having a good time making my squares!

I am working on #7 in the autumn tones.
I have made 2 for the pink-n-green afghan < I was hoping to make a couple of others too. Is that over kill?? Should I just stick with the two I made and go back under my yarn rock now? Someone advise me.......before I start making pink and green squares for everyone on the site!!! LOL

More pink and green squares are GREAT, Liz! I was going to make extra for the raffleghan too, to make it bigger. Thanks for yours also!!

I keep thinking I have my squares all caught up and then I find a mistake and have to fix it.

So the count now is three finished, the fourth with one row to go, and the fifth with two rows to go. Sheesh. *sheepish look*

But the good news is that I only have three rows to go and I can start my sixth square, right?

So I have a question... should I wait until I have them all done to start sending them out, or should I send them out as I finish each one?

Arwen · 03-22-2010, 11:25 AM

Check the Yahoogroups files please. If your address is not there, we need it ASAP. Deadline is looming.

Calibaby, the raffleghan is also 12" squares in pink and green. I have two of those to send to BittyBit.

I have seven squares done. I need to check how many we are. From the top of my head:

Arwen
Bit
Amiyesiam
Christie
SweetCali
Papihigleo
Linus
K
FishInABaggie

That's nine. Three dropped out. Were we ever at twelve? We have eight addresses in the database. Since Linus and K share quarters, that's right.

So...I think there are only nine of us total. So we each need to make eight squares to send.

And then however many we each want for our own blankets.

Bit · 03-27-2010, 03:18 PM

Okay! So I've got seven done!

And now I'm outta yarn.

I dunno whether to redo some of what I have to get a fourth color in there--and thereby have enough to finish all nine squares--or try to match colors and buy more.

I think I'm sorry I already wove in all my yarn tails. *rueful smile*
