Good evening everyone, I would like to ask for your help in making a comfortghan for a lady that I know though curves where I work. She has just had the most devasting news a person could get!! Her husband has less than 6 months to livehttp://simplycrochet.org/forum/images/smilies/sad-049.gif and she is just lost!!
What I would like If you can help me is Blue 12" squares. Any color blue will be fine. please attach a little card to your square so they will see where it came from and that there are people all over that really to care! I believe this will really help her!!
I am going to try to make one for each of them.
My Address is:

I will make a couple of squares too! Do you want the squares to be one solid color of blue.....or do you want different shades of blue in one square....or doesn't it make a difference?

Sissie, I would like to make one (two if I can) with the Caron SS Berry Blue yarn that you sent me with your summer scarf (which I have draped over my shoulder as I type this!). I think that will be a very good use of the yarn. Please let me know if Caron SS would go with your comfortghan.

yes this will be find and thank you all for helping me with this!! :hugany color of blue is good and it doesn't have to be solid either.
sorry I haven't been on in the last couple of days just have a bad go right this minute.
how many 12" squares do most people use for a comfortghan?
Daisy
June 2nd, 2006, 11:21 PM
I think you can use as many squares as you want, but I think the standard size is 12 squares......3 across and 4 long. I think the total Comfortghan will be sized nicely....once the borders are finished, (around the squares and around the afghan). You can make the afghan any size you want, but I don't think you would want it any smaller than the 12 squares.

Sissie,
Just so you are not left wondering, I'll be sending out my square(s) from NY in the next day or two. I finished the first one, but I don't like it, so I think I'll have to frog and re-do it! Figures.:P

Evening everyone Just wanted to let you know that I took the comfortghans into work tonight and sandy took the pics. for me so as soon as she emails over to me I will get them here. Dawna did not come in toworkout tonight and sandy said she had not been all week. I am sure it is hard on her now.
I left them there and a note letting everyone know that if she came in to give them to her. If she hasn't come in by weds I will give her a call.
