One in the Box
Time for a Share a Square update, I’m thinking. Shelly tells us that she now has all the squares she needs. She could use a few people to put black edging onto the squares and/or sewing an afghan or two together.
I’m finishing up one - one is completed and in the box to be returned - I should have this one finished by tomorrow and into the mail by the next day - Saturday at the latest.
I have the first row of black around the second afghan and will follow that with a colorful row and then another row of black. Then it is off to the Post Office.
Now, if you have not been able to help out the SAS (Share a Square) project, how about a HAP project? Even though Deborah has been busily collecting 6×9 inch squares for the HAP (Homemade Afghans Project) project, she has found time to also donate squares to Shelly’s SAS project. There are some very cool people out there in the great blue ether, aren’t there?
So - HAP - 6×9 inch squares can be knitted or crocheted (several patterns available at Deborah’s site), sent off to Deborah who finds volunteers to stitch them together. The finished - bed sized - afghans are packed up and sent to military hospitals where they are given to returning, wounded, troops.
It’s a worthwhile project if you have a mind to help out.
I’ll be headed to Anchorage next week for a two day conference for work. I have a skein of cream colored acryllic that will go along with me - to be made up into HAP squares. Won’t you join me?
