    Oh MB... lol...you would absolutely curse if I sent you mine.  I sent Vickie a few and she said they were fine, but I don't know if I can ever get a lot made.  How are you doing?

    Pam,

    They definitely grow as you go.  I think I just figured out that when you get to the end and chain two--turn--skip the first chain and go into the second.  I don't know if it's correct but I think it's finally working for me.  I just sent my first batch to Madison, I'll see if she wants to kill me or not!! LOL.  Good luck.

    Hugs, Jackie

    I came across this thread and love this!   How can I get involved?  I am in the process of learning how to knit and would love to participate if I can get some decent looking squares.  Let me know and you all are doing great.  I got an afgan made by my church while in the hospital for my masectomy last month and it still makes me smile.

    Wow, this is fantastic........so many helping make squares.  I started on another afghan tonight (I had been bordering)......

    CBJ, the squares are 7x9, using washable yarn, any color, or combination thereof.  They can be knitted, crochet or knifty knitter.  Perfection is not required.

    Hugs and thanks to all...........Madison

    Brenda - Awesome photo! Know that you are loved...

    lizws - Hi! You too are going back to work part-time! I have been overwhelmed with it, in addition to a major foot problem. I have a stress fracture in my foot...most likely caused by wear heels for the past 3 weeks - for the first time in 6 years (of course I wonder if it's bone mets) - I worked from home all those years. So I have been totally consumed with Dr appts, new hours, etc. Best wishes to you with your new schedule...

    I MUST FIND TIME TO CROCHET! I miss it!

    The lastest afghan is a beauty...as usual!

    Border Patrol: I will get you some squares...come hell or high water! lol Miss you all very much.

    I just started to border one of the squares I've knitted.  Ugh!  I have never bordered something that was knitted before - the darn row edges are hard to work with, (kind of loopy) so I really admire you borderettes that have done this over and over!

    My most recent square was done with a better edge on it.  You slip the first and last stitch every other row (instead of knitting or purling) and then those stitches are worked as normal on the alternate rows.  It looks much nicer and will probably be easier to border.

    Laura, the Border Patrol comment really made me laugh!

    Madison,

     I hope you received my squares. I'm so nervous because ever since I mailed them the board has been so quiet.  I hope I didn't discourage you by the way they lookSurprised LOL!!!

    Anyway, hope everyone is okay.  And by the way, I got much better and finally made them even so who should I mail the new ones to?  The border patrol?  Please let me know.

    Take care,

    Hugs, Jackie

    hiya jackie !

    i'm still here just been busy taking a friend to daily rads for skin cancer - she's 88 and hasn't driven since WWII (and the world is a safer place for it ... she'd still be sitting at the first 4-way stop worrying if it was really her turn)

    i'm assuming everyone still has plenty of my squares

    Madison, you take care of yourself..........blood pressure does funny things to you, for sure.

    Haven't heard if anyone needs some "knifty knitter" squares or not......let me know when your supply has dwindled and I'll get going on em!

    Madison,

    Glad to hear from you, not glad to hear the news though.  What causes blood pressure to do that? 

    Take care of yourself.  Just know that you're always in our thoughts.

    love,

    Bren

    Neesie makes knifty knitter squares.  I also think I have received some from MB.

    Madison...hoping your bd has leveled off by now.

    I miss you girlz! I'm still consumed with my new job...I am however, going to whip up some squares this weekend. Not only is it therapeutic, but I miss/love being a part of making others feel special.

    Hope you're all doing well...
