SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT I HOPE YOU JOIN ME THERE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NO LONGER NEEDING SQUARES FOR THE PROJECT. THANK YOU!
I appreciate y'all talking to me, Irlynda, Anne, Barbara, Thorne, Lola, Sallie M - OH, YellowRose, Linda, (((((HUGS))))) sandi, Jen, and Vixen!

























On the same note, but a different page, I want you to know that I evacuated the squares with me. Even the kids were yelling: “Do you have your meds? dad’s meds? pictures? those squares for the cancer kids?”
Someday within this very month of November I WILL put them together, I promise. And you can call me and check if you want…my phone works.
Girl, hang in there. I’m thinking about you. If it had come down to afghan squares or your life, I HOPE you know we can make more squares!!~skt
[...] November Updates found here. This is an ongoing update page for the Share A Square Project. I do not update daily, but I’m trying! 6720 SQUARES NEEDED! 5098 Squares down 1622 Squares TO GO! [...]
oooooooooooohhhhhhhh - Nora . . . I want that pattern, too! Please share????
Nora hasn’t answered in the comment section, but I’ll drop her an e-mail and see what she says!~skt
oops - an extra “r” in there - haha
I just wanted to add to my longish guest post, Shelly - that one of the difficulties in putting together the afghans is the tags! I am going to have to watch from now on how I tie my own, too - I’ve done “bows” and those untie with all of the handling of the squares - eventually. So, I will have to make a double knot, I guess.
just for future sake - and . . . am I receiving one of the new kits????
You want ‘em, I can send two before I leave
Hey stranger!!
I have about 20 from my Mom and will get the 1/2 of them that I have edged in the mail for you. I hope that I am edging right. The afghans are beautiful. Wonderful job and for the duper, in the end, we all get what we deserve.
Hey girl, I’ve been missing visiting you and everyone else, too. As for the duper, I hope I’m wrong. But, yes, Karma bites us in the rear eventually.
Thanks for all the hard work you and your mom have done!~skt
[...] This is the chaos I left behind in my guest room, as I headed down to Houston for two weeks of work. Of course, I brought a carload of afghan squares to work on while I sit in the hotel in the evenings. I’m not very adventurous when it is a working week, but maybe I will explore on the weekend. During the week, I’ll spend the time working on Share A Square. [...]
I’m taking a square break until after the holidays, as I’m hoping to crochet some gifts and I’m still slow. I’m really enjoying the updates though~so inspiring! and after the New Year I’m gonna get my squares on! LOL! (((((HUGS))))) sandi
I’ll look forward to some more of the beautiful squares you crochet. Enjoy your holidays!~skt
Maybe she really needed an afghan. So we make 141, eh? What goes around comes around, sweet. I haven’t mailed my first back yet. Got out of town for the weekend for a much needed break. I’m sending another witch’s dozen squares along with it, and when you get back, send me another 47 squares, hon. Have a lovely trip and get that much needed WM-free rest!
*smooch*
Thank you, Sweetie. Don’t tucker yourself out. Just work as you see fit. You’ve been through a lot, and you have a lot of writing to do this month.~skt
[...] Thursday, November 8th 2007filed in: Personal I did it!! I finished putting together a afghan for “Share A Square!” It took me longer than I expected, but I plan on doing more!! If you don’t know what [...]
I am interested in crochet some squares…so is there a place in arizona for this project
I live in mesa and was wondering if there is something like this going on here.
thanks
Hey Linda,
~skt
Sorry for the delayed reply. I’m not sure what might be going on in your area, but a good place to check is at the local Senior Citizen’s Center. I’m always amazed that the women down there crochet and knit for hospitals and shelters…they are always giving. You might check to see. Mine let me join in with them, even though I’m not quite old enough yet (close…but not yet
Well let’s just hope that afghan got delayed in the mail!
I finished piecing the one you sent me. Working on some squares now. Let me know if you want me to mail it to you, or maybe meet?
Have a good time as you travel!
That’s what I’m going to hope, because I can’t believe anyone would be out to dupe me. Not over afghan squares, anyway. I can use some more squares from you! I ran out
. I’d love to meet…but it might have to be December. Hey! We could shop!! It sounds like we are both addicted to that pastime. ~skt
[...] - what else is going on with all of you? I received another box with squares for two afghans from Shelly and have gotten them all edged in black now. Yesterday, since I had the day off, I laid [...]

Hello Shelly!
I’m happy to see you received my first shipment. I also received your lovely thank you card. I’m happy to contribute to such a worthwhile project and have more in progress. I’d love to have some of the different patterns some of the ladies have made; especially the ladies in Japan. What lovely and unique designs! God Bless All
[...] got home from my two week trip to find a huge pile of mail for the Share A Square program! My Sweet Spousal Unit went faithfully to the mailbox every day while I was gone. Isn’t he a [...]
[...] done with the Boy’s chosen gift. And . . . I am working on the second of the two afghans Shelly sent me to piece together. One is finished and I am now piecing the squares together of the [...]
Haven´t you received some squares from Argentina? I have a friend Brisa de Amor, who told me she were to send some squares. I think my squares are a bit big, I am a disaster knitting, I hope you like the bracelet. Oh, I invited you to participate in a new raffle, everyone that wants can participate. A big big hug.
Welcome home, sweetie. Yes, I still haven’t gotten my finished afghan and latest bunch of squares in the mail to you. Writing and procrastinating writing (and other things…) is my MO these days. LOL. The cool thing is that my daughter is making some squares to contribute, bless her heart. I’ll send them all together, (hopefully) soon(-ish). Meantime, beautiful bunch of latest squares and completed afghans! Yay to all the participants!
Yay! Marti sent some squares! She works with my hubby - well, for the same agency - they work different shifts. TMI - sorry.
Sent the box out Saturday - should arrive Monday or Tuesday - I’ll watch the tracking number.
Lots of lovely new squares. Everyone’s work is delightful!
Yes, aren’t folks sending some beautiful stuff? thanks for getting the info to Marti. Her squares are beautiful! Never TMI, darlin’. You know I want all the dirt
Remember I’m in Houston!! Hubs will get the package, but I won’t know until I get home. I appreciate you!
[...] just checked and see that the finished afghans I sent off to Shelly on Saturday have arrived to her post office. They’re just waiting for her to pick up. [...]
[...] I thought I would share a picture of the latest afghans completed for the Share A Square program today. [...]
By now the big box from IL should have arrived. It has two completed afghans plus a few more squares. If you want me to assemble another one or two afghans after the holidays, just let me know.
I just found this site! If I can help please let me know. I would love to make some squares too. My son went to Camp Sanquinity from 1999 to 2003. It was a Blessing in his live and ours.
Irlynda, Billy’s mom
