Twenty-seven
Okay - don’t everyone freak out . . . but . . . there are only twenty-seven knitting days left before Christmas.
ACK!!! I think I just freaked mySELF out! Heh.
I thought I would share a picture of the latest afghans completed for the Share A Square program today.

As you know, I did not crochet all of the squares - many people from around the world (yes - around the world! Australia, Japan, Spain, Mexico, US and more) have joined in on this project - this dream of Shelly’s - to make the world a bit warmer for some kids who have cancer.
So, every “kit” that Shelly sends out to be joined together contains 48 squares from 48 different people who have crocheted (or knitted) and sent them to her.
48 people from different parts of the US - the world - who have felt their heart stirred because of one woman’s dream - and who have put their fingers to the task . . . really, it is beautiful how the different styles and techniques come into play to make a whole.
I love working with the squares - making them all the same size (or as close as possible) by adding the black edge - then joining them one by one, two by two, six by six - seeing a lot of singles coming together to make a whole.
My goodness - it appears that one can wax poetic over crocheting and knitting!
I hope that you are having a wonderful week - and that your FOs are rolling off your needles at an acceptable pace.
As we begin to work frantically to make sure every stocking is filled - let us not forget WHY we celebrate at this season - and maybe, just maybe, we can celebrate HIM throughout the whole year and not just one day.
