Tasha,

I'm very sorry for your bad news. I would send you squares but I have never been able to make them. Hopefully you will be able to get lots of squares from those here who know how to make them.

Oh hunny, I am sooo sorry, I lost my grandmother a year ago this past feb ( my adoptive mother) so this really hits home with me! I am crying so hard my hands are shakeing and my kids are looking at my like I am crazy. I have wished so many times that I had learned to crochet beforeshe died so I could have made her things. I have to be honest with you, I have never made a square but girl I am going to give it my best go and I will let you know how it turns out!

I'm so sorry about your grandmother. It is always hard to lose someone you love. I will be honored to make a square for you. When I am done I will get your address.

I'm in the middle of doing a bunch of squares for some others but if I can, I will send a couple...

For those of you who haven't done squares before, they are super simple! After doing a couple you can usually whip them up rather quickly (unless you go for the more advanced fancy patterns) Please don't let "fear" of never having made them stop you. Give it a try!!!!!!!!!!!

Tasha, my two squares are on their way. Please keep us updated and let us know if you need anymore.

I'd love to see a pic of your Grandma with the finished afghan. Good thoughts going out for you and your Grandma.
