On the way . . .

. . . In a couple of ways . . .

first: I put the finished afghans into the mail today - so Shelly should be receiving them by Friday at the latest. So, they are on their way and I am ready to do a couple more if Shelly has any to send to me.

I’ve really enjoyed this project. It’s been great fun to see all the different styles and patterns of squares - and it has been a real kick to see squares from all over the globe. I’ve worked on squares from Japan, Australia, and all over the United States. It was most fun to find squares from an online friend in New York as well as an IRL (in real life) friend from right here in town.

It’s a wonderful to see the love people have in their hearts - and to know that from one woman’s dream came this concerted effort to work together.

Now, I’d like to ask the seamstresses out there for your help in a secondary project for the Share A Square . . . we’d like to put together 140 drawstring bags to hold the tags from the afghans. You see, each square (48 of them) in each afghan (140 of them) is made by a different person. Each person places a tag with their name and sentiment (i.e. “get well soon”) onto the square. Then, when the recipient is ready to take all of the tags off we thought it would be nice to have something to put them into. The recipient from the first afghan played with his tags like they were playing cards.

So - if you’d like to help email me at prplmoose AT kenaiwriter DOT net and we’ll exchange addresses.

———————————
secondly:
On my way - I’m in Anchorage this week for a work related conference. The laptop may (or may not) get to go with me and I may (or may not) have wireless connection at the hotel. If it is and I do, I will be updating throughout the week. If not, well - I’ll see you when I get back. How’s that?

You all be good to yourselves and we’ll see you on the flip side.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
