    Margaret,

    I think Denise uses the Knifty Knitter. She may be able to help you with size, etc.

    Thanks, Madison

    Hi Madison,
    Yes if you would like to send more I will be happy to work it up...I have a few squares made that I could send by not very many as I have been busy this past couple of weeks going back to work...am back in the habit of making at least one, somtimes two squares in the evening so wont take long to get you more together.
    Your afghans are sooooooo very pretty.....and I love it when someone recieves them:)....I love the idea of brightening a sisters day with what we are doing...
    Hope all is well for you.
    Hugs
    Jule

    Jule, I will send you some yarn your way early next week. I am busy this week with a law school graduation for one of my daughters. Thank you so much...I am almost finished with another afghan and many of your squares are incorporated therein.

    Oh, I mailed an afghan Monday. Another afghan today. I am working on the finishing boarder of one I hope to get out tomorrow.....

    You are all the bestest!!!!!
    Hugs, Madison

    Just got squares from Liz and Cheri...thank you ladies!!!
    Promise to finish up the one I'm working on in the next day or two...geez I've been so tired. I think it's the lack of nicotine! Can't handle caffeine so don't know what I'll do.

    Hi all,
    I am finally ready to send out some squares. I have about 15. Don't know how some of you make them so fast??? I guess I need to know who to send them to and the address? The afghan's I've seen are just beautiful. Great job ladies!

    Thanks Lisa....

    It takes 42 squares to make one afghan....I mailed 3 this week...so I used 126 squares......

    You are all awesome because 126 squares is one heck of a lot of squares…..

    So…all of you are awesome

    Hugs, Madison

    I am ok on squares as Madison is working overtime and way ahead of me at this point so send your squares to her for now.

    Madison...that is beautiful! Wow...I can't wait to finish the one I'm working on...lots of bright cheery colors. Are you doing single crochet around the squares? I am doing double crochet...thinking maybe I could switch if that's the way your doing it and it will save some time (and yarn!!).
    Hugs

    Vickie just said she was okay on the squares but I get the message. No worries.

    I just sent you a PM...I am confused....I missed something somewhere along the line.....I did not see where Vickie was okay on the squares. My error in not reading up further and not realizing that the post was directed just to me.....like I said my error....and it was a innocent error.

    Yes, I need squares. I just used 126 squares in 3 afghans that were mailed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. I don't have enough to finish another afghan, but didn't want to take any squares if Vickie needed them.

    Madison, I will also be sending about 14 or 15 squares in the next few days. Mine are almost all beige!! Had several skeins of Lee Wards beige yarn leftover from an old fisherman afghan project. How long have they been out of business? I am dating mysef. Hahahaha -- Donna in VA

    Those should go nicely with the ones I'm sending Donna. Mine are blues, purples, pinks and a variegated with all those blended together

    Vickie, I am doing single crochet around the squares....I find single crochet gives me more "wiggle room" to make them all fit together....Then I run a single crochet around the entire afghan...then a triple crochet to finish.....
    Hugs, Madison

    Sorry this took so long to post, guys, but I've been just a leetle busy. For those who don't know, I lost Eddie on May 6. We had gone to Boston to see if he was a candidate for a stem cell transplant. He died suddenly and unexpectedly at his sister's house late Sunday evening. He never got to see a doctor. He loved the afghan. It was ready to pack for when he went back to get healed. I guess God decided he needed to be healed sooner.

    Aww Fancy,
    That is such a beautiful picture. I'm so glad the afghan helped with a smile. I am so sorry about the loss of your dear husband. I hope you are doing better. Many caring thoughts and prayers to you.
    Hugs,
    Sue
