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

:sadangel:

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?

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:

http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com...in_squares.php

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?

Novelafemme 12-05-2009 08:29 AM

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

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

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 :bowdown: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? :)
