Warm Up America Project Update!

Its finally finished!!!!!!!!!! Hooray! It did take a while to complete but its done. This is one of those projects that I would pick up off and on. All I need to do now is weave in the black ends and wash it. Then is will be ready for donation!


Thanks to Cyndi and the random craftster who donated many squares to this afghan. One of the challenges of this project was sewing together squares that different people knit/crocheted with different gauges.

More Warm Up America Squares!

Thanks to a random act of kindness from a craftster member, we now have 14 more squares! I received them in the mail today. They were packaged in cute little rolls tied in bows.
Of course I had to unroll them to appreciate all the different stitch patterns. She knits and crochets so there is quite the variety. She did a few in seed stitch, which I love the look of.
Now that I've built up quite a few, I've decided to put them in box to keep the clutter down and protect them from dust and cat. (Frida is very sneaky).
There are now 38 total squares (49 is considered a complete blanket). More are always welcome! I really appreciate the help I've had so far: 38 different squares made from 3 lovely ladies in 3 different states.
On a side note, I had an exhausting day at work and it really made my day to open this package.
