So unless someone doesn't mind one that is a tad longer then I shall be re-knitting them. ugh....

I figured I would send mine all out at once.

As far as the raffleghan I will knit those when I am done with the swapghan.

do not redo mine, it will be fine, I can block it to go with mine.

I'm good! I have at least 6 squares.

Hey sweetcali, don't redo my square either--I'm going to set them all with sashing like a quilt, so it will work out just fine.

I can really relate to thinking they all measured out; mine turned out to be eleven inches after I remeasured, and I was shocked, lol....

I have the same issue in that some of mine came out bigger. I have them all done, and thought that once I finish the afghan I am making for Momma's 75th bday later this month, I would take off the extra rows before I send them out.

One would think that since I count things for a living, I woulda noticed sooner!! ugh.

Okay, if so many of us are having trouble getting to exactly twelve inches, I don't feel so silly!

For everyone that is making squares for me, if they don't come out exactly at twelve, please don't worry, k? You can mail to me as they are.

It's our first time to do this, y'all. It will all be FABULOUS! I need to get mine finished.
