    Brianna was doing a fine job at Pickstock so I'm sure she will have no problems making squares.

    I have to find my yarn and neddles and get busy again!

    Wooohoooo - the Kirtz girls are on the move. Heck, Brianna was doing a much better job on that thing than I could have. LOL

    I mailed more squares out to Vickie and Madison today.

    I guess I'm going to have to go back to the Knifty Knitter due to my promptness in production. LOL Does anyone have a list of the girls who've received the afghans? How is that process determined?

    pals,

    Cheri, I have the list of girls who have received afghans stored in my home computer. I'll post the list tonight from the house.

    Also, names of individuals as possible recipients of afghans are give to many of us......The problem we usually have is finding the Name and Address of an individual.....we need more than their screen name....

    I can think of many on the mets forum that could use a great big hug....but only know them by their screen names..

    Yea, more Knifty Knitters out there!! Cheri, glad to see you haven't aborted us after all!!
    The KK doesn't hurt my wrist either, MB.

    I have a hard time remembering who has afghans already, too. I know Madison posted it not to long ago.......I'll go look for it!

    I'm sure there are a lot of girls that could use a hug....my problem is that I seldomly wander away from the circle, so I don't know many of the other ladies.

    You all do a great job of finding out who could use a hugaghan........love this project!

    Hugs,
    Denise

    those came out amazing .... i was going to mail my squares yesterday but started a couple of more then realized i would be at an all day event today that would lend itself to crocheting .... so now 8 squares and counting ... just knew that those 1 skein and partial skein spares i've been keeping would come in handy

    Beautiful, as always, Madison! I forgot to tell you how impressed my hubby was with this project when he saw all of us crocheting at Pinkstock. He was amazed at how many afghans have been sent out and at how quickly Madison and Vickie have been able to get them together. I'm hoping it gives him more empathy when I leave the dinner dishes for him to do while I'm crocheting in front of the TV!

    My dear dear friends. This is so not fair. You all know I do not do mushy and here I am bawling like a baby......cause I went to my mailbox today and there was an afghan.
    I do not have words to tell you how I felt when I opened the box. It is BEAUTIFUL beyond measure. Thank you so much. I had such a bad morning dealing with insurance company crap. Isn't it amazing how often this happens? These wonderful gifts of love always seem to know exactly the right time to show up.
    Anywhos I am so not good at this but thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I will treasure it always.

    Remember to check out your local Second Hand store. they often will have yarn you can get much cheaper. I just bought 4 bags that had 3 or 4 brand knew skeins in them for $5 each.
    So now I need to get off here so more people can get afgans!

    Shirley you so deserve an afgan! I was so hoping you would be getting one of the ones just sent!

    I was coming here to see the picture of the latest afghan and look what I found!!!!
    Shirley, I am so glad that you received a 'hugaghan'.....and YES it is fair, you do deserve our hugs!!!!

    Madison: They are beautiful!! My DH was a bit amazed watching all work on (except me!) and putting an afghan together at PinkStock.......I know he didn't have a clue before!

    Hugs,
    Denise

    p.s. I have finally begun knitting again...finished 3 while we were up north, so in a week or so I will send a batch to which ever one of you needs them!!

    Suggestions and comments are welcomed...
    Vickie, send me a PM if you have received any suggestions
