Community Afghan

Shrink, I use size 8 needles for just about any of the regular-weight yarns. Cast on anywhere from 21-25 stitches (it varies with the yarn) and knit a few rows to see if that comes out to 7" wide. If not, adjust. I then knit in garter stitch for 9".  That way the block is reversible.   -- Donna in VA

hiya jas ... been missing you ... hope you are ok

a  friend gave me a Michael's coupon for 40% off one regular priced item so i bought a 1 pound (i think that was the weight - it is about the size of a 5 lb bag of sugar) bag of yarn .... wow that is a lot of yarn ... they only have a few colors but i think a few simple squares in the hugaghans makes the special ones stand out

madison - i sent about 4 doz to the border patrol ... things were slow while dh was recovering from knee surgery .... things a bit busier now but will try to get a few more squares done before xmas time ...

Thank you ALL for helping with this project......

Hugs, Madison

I have squares ready to send. Who would like them?

Sue

Vickie, Do yo need squares? I'm just about to box up the ones I have done and need to know who needs them?

Ok I'll split the box between you and Madison. I think it will be ready to go out Sat.

Vickie .. Can you please post pics of the afghans that you sent out to me and Liz?  We've both received them now. If you could post them at Gina's site too it would be appreciated.

Thanks so much to everyone involved in this project.  I can't tell you how good the hugs feel when I wrap myself in my hugaghan!  I will treasure it Always!

I posted elsewhere, but wanted to say it here also! 

Liz and Charlene:  I am so glad that you both are enjoying your Hugaghans..You can now curl up and feel all of the hugs from us and feel better!

Madison and Vickie:  Again, thank you for your beautiful work!!  And all the girls making squares and bordering them, too!!

Hugs,

Denise 

I am also glad that Charlene and Liz received their afghans......love and hugs dear sisters........

Liz,  your tremendous  help in bordering the squares has enabled me to stitch these afghans together so much quicker....love you giggle sister

Madison:  As usual your work is breath taking.  The picture of that afghan is just beautiful. 

Charlene and Liz I am so glad you got your afghans.  Life has not been easy for either of you.  I pulled my afghan out last night.  Cuddled up in it to help me stay warm.  It brought back such wonderful memories of how hard so many of you worked on the squares.  I almost can look at each square and guess who they are from.

I sure would like to see a picture of your afghans also.

Madison:  I have a box full of squares.  Just need to be mailed. Who do I mail them too?

I just "happened" into this place from Illinois Women Facing Cancer and I saw that magnificent afghan. Could someone please tell me the "afghan story" as I am so curious.  It is just gorgeous.  I cannot knit, but I would like to contribute in some way...perhaps I could arrange for supples or postage.  This is just too lovely.
