Square Swap (For Crochet/Knitting)

Paphigleo · 07-19-2010, 10:51 AM

Dear friends of craftyness...

I am sending out my squares today. I MUST apologize for the lateness and non-communicativeness on my part. As many of you might know me over the past several years, my online interests ebb and flow. I am currently enthralled in my 'real life' in a myriad of ways. Excuses aside, setbacks and all.. the aquares are done and I hope they will please all. I am well and not ill. I still *heart* you all and am also looking forward to the completion of the project. I will be printing off the yahoo email address list to mail my yarny pretties. Much love, hugs, and grins.

{{{{{{{{{{{{Nick!!}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Hi you!! So glad you posted!! I look forward to getting your square! (And um... guess it's a good thing I finally found the rest of my yarn, so that I can finish and mail your square! *big blush* I let everything wait for the last raffleghan squares.)

{{{{{{{{{{{{Arwen}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Sweetheart, your squares arrived today. THANK you for the gift, love!

Wooohooo! The last square is in! So now if you can, please send prayers or energy to help me figure out the best arrangement, and get going on putting the raffleghan together! We have two different colorways going, one solid and one variegated, and I think it's just going to be lovely!

Once I get some space cleared to lay the squares out with minimal feline supervision, I'll start taking pictures.

Also, I have some color-grabber cloths to make sure the dye doesn't run when I wash it.

I have been seeing this thread and wondering what was going on in here.
Looks like all of you are having fun. Okay, now I see what it is all about.
Happy Square Swapping!

THOSE squares are different.

If you knit or crochet, you are welcome to join us if we do another one.

I have received all squares as well.

Arwen,

I do not know of any other "different" squares. This Square Swapper event is the first one I have dropped in on.

Thank you so much for the invitation to the next time around but all jokes aside, I cannot even sew on a button. When one comes off a shirt, I take it to my alterations lady. I did give it a try but I stuck myself so many times ... and that button I put back on the shirt did not look like the others ...only the edges of the button were visible. It had a great big wad of tangled up thread in the middle of it. I think I went into overdrive in trying to do a good job and sewed it on too much.

And ... Arwen, I really do think it is a wonderful thing for so many people to have so much fun ... umm ... knitting squares.

Brock
