Community Afghan

Deb, your post put a big smile on my face. Enjoy.

Denise, you rock -- 75+ squares. At the end of January you had never knitted in your life, right? I looked back and 1/28 was when you declared you were ready to do squares. See what love can do.

Madison, you rock too for walking in the Komen race. There may have been one here too, but I wasn't paying attention. Bad me!!! Do your feet hurt?

I have a cold, so am working from home today (yeah, right like I am working right now.) If I infect anybody else at the office, they will kill me. Maybe I can finish another square today. I have 3 sitting here done, 1 on the needles. All beige - bleah. I need to buy yarn soon. -- Donna in VA

Deb-you deserve it girl and arent they the greatest. I love mine more than words can say. I loved your story. Thanks for the big ol smile on my face this morning.

Thanks Donna,
You're right. I have never knitted a thing! I'm kinda used to talking myself down before I even try. Convince myself pretty easily that "I can't." I was extremely determined to be a part of the "Community Afghan" Girls, and guess what? I not only CAN do it, I ENJOY doing it!!!
Hugs,
Denise

Madison and Vickie...just came home from mailing you both some more ...thanks....Lisa

I have about 3' done on the knifty kniter. Not sure I like it yet but it is beginging to take shape. I'll see how it looks when I get to the 9" mark. I'm used to a tighter "knit". I know I just bought some new chrochet hooks a few months back... but where did I put them????

ok, I got info on the pegs but now I need to know how to finish it up when the square is done. Ya know, how to tie it off or whatever you do. I appreciate any help I could get.

Hey MB: Do I want to know what a Knitty Titty is?

Cheri: Just PM'D you with some "directions." If they don't work, let me know and I'll look for the web site that got me interested.

Vickie and Madison: Any squares arrive yet? They should be there today or tomorrow!

Hugs,
Denise

Denise and Sue, received your squares today!!!!! I was down to about 5 squares. Thank you, thank you!!

I love all the colors....as a matter of fact I had purchased some yarn in some of those exact colors!!!

I am hoping the afghan I mailed earlier this week reaches our bc sister tomorrow.

Hugs, Madison

Here is a link to the best instuctions i have found for the straight knitting looms
http://decoraccentsinc.com/kb_basic_inst.html

I am using the pinkis knifty knitter that has 12 pegs on each side. It works out the perfect size when i use 2 strands of thin yarn together.

Just finished an afghan this morning and will post pictures tonight. I need to wash and block the afghan...then in the mail to someone that needs a special hug from all of us.

REMEMBER TO SEND VICKIE AND I SUGGESTIONS ON RECIPIENTS OF THESE AFGHANS. We will also need mailing addresses!!!

I am keeping a list of every name submitted, and please know that Vickie and I are adding every name submitted to the list we are compiling.

Thank you all so much....

I am going to get started on the newest afghan this evening.
Hugs, Madison

Hey Deb,
That is the same site I printed directions from. Cheri, they have very clear pictures and directions...Much better than the ones that come with the Knifty Knitter!
Hugs,
Denise

I finished this afghan this morning:



I am starting on a new one!!

You are all the best!!

Madison,

Beautiful!!!! You're going to make someone very Happy!!!!

Vickie, Gray's Anatomy is a new one tonight! I'm knitting through it and hopefully ER will be on too!

Love the way you two are putting all together! The colors are great.

My next batch will have blues and purples in different shades. I guess I got stuck on that color at the store!!
Love and Hugs,
Denise

Hi Girls
DEBC... so glad you got a blanket...you soooo deserve it.

MADISON/VICKIE....The afghan is beautiful. I finally have 6 squares ready to go... took a break because hands really sore (from Arimidex) Bought a knifty knitter ... if I can figure it out I will try doing some with it. My Mom is in a home and they are doing some for me too so I will wait before sending these on.

Gotta run ... will check back in tomorrow night
Hugs to all and prayers for those who need it
Love
