Summertime...summertime...sum sum summertime

OK...I'm sorry I've been neglecting the blog. Between work and home -- time was far and few between. I have in the meantime figured out how to crochet. YAY!!!! I might be able to do only one type of square but I can do it. :) Speaking of squares...Here's the low-down on our squares.

Please make your squares 12"x12".
Finish the edge of the square with a row of single crochet (even around the knitted squares).
Then please, DON'T FORGET TO WEAVE IN YOUR ENDS!
It doesn't matter what pattern you use. But to help with piecing the squares together, it just takes a few minutes to finish off the squares with a row of single crochet and weaving in those tails. This helps the person taking the time to sew all the squares together for the afghans go alot faster.

Check out the summer color suggestions. If you need yarn to make your squares for our afghans, we've got a ton of donated yarn in my office. Stop by anytime to pick out some squishy goodness in whatever color you're in the mood for.

If you need help with any stitch...don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks again for taking the time to make squares for our afghan project. We couldn't do it without you!
