Anyone want to help with a comfortghan?

[Ambersafghans]

Hello everyone.
I have met (online) A family who seems to be going through an awful lot right now. The Mother is in the hospital dieing from Breast Cancer. There are other things going on that I don't feel at liberty to discuse.
But I was thinking that a comfortghan or two might give them a lift. :hug I was thinking one for the mother, and then maybe one for the 17 year old daughter.
I hesitated to post this, because I don't know if she will be willing to give me her address. But if she doesn't we could always send them to someone else in need.
Anyone want to help? If enough people volunteer then I'll go on to yarn type, color and pattern.
Prayers would also be appreciated. The family name is Norten.
Thanks!
Amber

Amber, I'll do some squares...but first please make sure they are really in need. sorry but sometimes I'm a skeptic.

Barbara

[crochetdiva]

I'm in. Just let me know the details.:manyheart

[Ambersafghans]

the need would be comfort. They sure need it now.
Her mother just died about 11 EST.
Amber

[buggaboosmommy]

I just wanted to say that my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

:pink Donna

[Ambersafghans]

Thank you Donna

[crochetdiva]

How very sad. It is tragic to lose a loved one at any age. Just let me know what type, size and color you want and I will shift my projects around and make this priority one.

[diamond]

Count me in for some squares. I think they should be pink....pink is the color of the Cure For Her cancer ribbon. At least for the mother anyways. Just post the requirements and I'll get busy.

[ellebee]

Amber - I could do some squares. What size were you thinking?

[quirkyvirgo]

My heart goes out to her family. Please let me know how I can help.

Tandi

[Ambersafghans]

Thank you all for responding.

I think what I might do is email the gal and tell her we would like to make a comfortghan for the family and ask what colors she would like. Because, I have no guarenty of getting her address and I think it's only reasonable to tell her why I want it. And also, with her mother just passing from cancer I would want to check on the pink. I don't think there shoud be a problem using it, but just want to make sure. Anyone opposed to this? Let me know. Thanks so much for your responses! :hug

I'm in, in any way I can be of help! http://www.tweenhookz.com/4cville/pinkrose.gif

[Ambersafghans]

I am having an awfully hard time picking out a pattern. There are a lot of square patterns on crochet pattern centeral. I don't want one that's too plain, but not one that's too difficult either. Any suggestions?

Amber

[crochetdiva]

Hi Amber, what about something from here?

http://www.heartmadeblessings.org/hmbv2/patterns.aspx


:manyheart

[faithpa76]

What about this one?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/faithpa76/Projects/DSC03078c.jpg"] (http://www.geocities.com/cdjsimon/cygnus.html)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/faithpa76/Projects/DSC03078c.jpg (http://www.geocities.com/cdjsimon/cygnus.html)

I just tried that one and it took me just under two hours even with five million kid-sized interruptions (I know not easy to see w/ the variegated - I just grabbed the skein that was on top - the pic on the pattern page is much clearer). It strikes a nice "simple but not boring" balance.

There are quite a few pretty ones on the site Andrea directed you to, the dreamcatcher one is nice and looks like it would be pretty easy to work up.

Editing to add that I did a second one and it only took an hour - amazing how much time those interruptions take! Pics on my blog - I did a solid color this time so you can really see the pattern.

[crochetdiva]

That is a pretty one Faith, I also like the dream catcher square. Amber, could you find out any personal favorites of the family or the mother to make it more special (ie favorite color, or flower).? This is going to be great.I can't wait to start.
:manyheart

[JulieKay]

Hi Amber
I don't know if you'd be interested in 12 inch squares, but here's a really pretty one that is simple, but has a nice pattern to it .
http://www.heartmadeblessings.org/patterns/BobbysSquare.asp

[Ambersafghans]

They are all pretty. That's the problem! :) I'll find out if there is anything inparticular she would like in it. Then we'll vote. :)

Thanks gals!
Amber

[crochetaddict033]

You could pick a size the square should be, like 7 in or 12 in, and then let everyone pick their own sq, that way you get a variety...just a suggestion ;) That is what we do at Heartmade Blessings anyway. There is one size for squares and that way a person could also be a beginner, and still help out. :)
By the way, it is wonderful what you are doing.

[faithpa76]

Why don't you pick a size the square should be, like 7 in or 12 in, and then let everyone pick their own sq, that way you get a variety...

That's what I've typically seen done, too. Whatever you decide though, Amber, I'm interested in joining if you need more people.

[Chatty]

I'd be interested, I have some pink worsted weight around here that I'm not doing anything with and can work nearly any pattern you can come up with or just give me a size and I'll have some ready.

Just say when and where to send them :hook

I agree, I think it makes a nicer afghan with many different squares. Thats what they did for Jordan's comfortghan. Everybody made the same size square but in different patterns.

Barbara

[Ambersafghans]

Well I talked with Makenzie (17 year old daughter) Last night and mentioned that there were some gals that wanted to make a comfortghan for her family. She was really touched. She will talk it over with her Dad and let me know that it's alright. I sent her somelinks to different squares. (There are so many pretty ones!) I told her that if she didn't have any specific ones she wanted it made out of then we could make it a surprise.
So I'll let you know what she says.
So far I know that her Mom's favorite color was Yellow and her's is Forest Green.

Amber

[Seneca and Scooch]

Amber, What a thoughtful thing to do. I'd love to make squares. Many prayers for the family. :hug

Hello Amber,

I think it's great that you want to help this family. I too, lost my mother to cancer when I was a young teenager. Let me tell you how much it would've meant to me if someone had done that for my family. I would love to help make a couple of squares. Just let me know the details when you're ready!

[Ambersafghans]

Alrighty! I just talked with Makenzie and for some reason she didn't get my email with the links. :think So we'll just make it a free for all. :) Lets do 12" squares.

Her Mother's favorite color was Yellow. Her's is Forest green. She also likes purple blue and orange. She did request no pink. I don't know if it has anything to do with cancer, or if she just doens't like it.

Worsted weight yarn I think. I don't know how well some yarns mix.

Here is the list of people that have responded saying they would love to make some squares. If you wish to be removed or added let me know.

I don't know if I want to set a number of squares. Why don't we make what we can and I'll let you know if we have a problem. That sound alright?

Oh one more thing. Would you guys mind having a picture taken of you and your squares before you send them and include them with the squares? If it's to much trouble don't bother. But I think it would be nice for her to see everyone that helped with the comfortghan.
I'll try to email everyone my address but if you need it before I get it to you don't hesitate to drop me an email.
Thank you all so much for your help! It means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to Makenzie. :flower She thought it was such a neat idea when I told her about it. This is such a special group. :ghug

Amber

[crochetdiva]

Ok, I am going out to get yarn right away. Should we all stay with the same brand and check colors. I can get Red Heart Super Saver here , but I can't get any Caron yarn. Is that alright?

The photo idea is wonderful!! I can't wait to hear what you all are making. I haven't decided yet. But I will let you know when I do.
:manyheart

[Ambersafghans]

Red Heart Super Saver is fine. I"d say stick to that if possible. But if you needed to use another worsted weight it would be alright. I'm not sure what to say about the colors. :think I'll be using what I have around.

Anyone dealt with the colors before on something like this?
Amber

[quirkyvirgo]

So are we going with all of these colors? Just any variation of them in 12" squares? What is our goal? Don't remember how big comfortghans usually are. This is so great of you to put together. I will get started this week. And I really like the picture idea.

Tandi

[Ambersafghans]

You don't have to go only with those colors, but yes you can use them any way you like. Um, I'll have to think about the goal. What are you time frames everyone? Will you have to wait a little bit to do this or can you get to it right away?
Amber

[Ally]

I can start this at any time, I just have to find a 12" square that would work with this project. Any suggestions? Or should I just pick one I like? Do you think we should decide on some kind of theme to pull it all together?

[Ambersafghans]

Just pick one you like. :) There are links in this thread to a lot of great squares. some of my siblings just picked some to make. I don't know if we could have a common theme. some of the squares have some sort of theme. But a lot are just neat squares. Let me know when you find something you like!

Oh, my little brother Andrew (7, he made an afghan for Afghans for Afghans with a bit of help) is making the dream catcher. :yay I forget what Carrie and Danielle chose. I haven't yet. :P
Amber

[Ally]

Great, I've printed out a couple of patterns already. I'll probably start on it tonight if I can find yarn in my stash that'll work. My other half is coming home soon so I guess I should put this aside for a couple of hours and straighten up the house!:hook

[Ambersafghans]

Hey Everyone. I was just chatting with Vicki (Mythunderbird) And she thought maybe we could make lap afghan for each of the family members.There is the Dad, Makenzie, Her older sister (who is back home) And her son.(The sisters) He is five

So could everyone let me know how many squares they will be able to do?
we would need 48 squares total. No one is required to do a certain amount.
I'll find out the rest of the families favorite colors.

Amber

[Chatty]

I have 2 projects I'm working on but I can whip out one or two 12" squares for you, just email me where you want them sent. I may have to email you my picture and you can print it out, my printer's busted.

*Goes off to look at squares*

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

That will be great chatty. Thanks. I'll send you my addy.

Quck update from Makenzie. Her Mother's funeral was today and it was pretty emotional. Her Dad was wisked off to the emergency room with chest pains right after. They desperatly need your prayers.

Her sisters favorite color is blue and her Nephews is Red.

Amber

[faithpa76]

Oh the poor things! I'll keep their family in my prayers. What a rough time.

[ellebee]

Amber I can do at least 3 maybe more. I've started one already and it is green and purple. Do you think that is going to work?

[Chatty]

I have some purple fleck, blue and red around here somewhere, that's 3 blocks I can do.

I think I'm going to do the Winter's Lace block from Heartmade Blessings, it looks simple, quick and pretty.

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

Ellebee, do you mean the number of squares of the colors? The colors sound fine. As far as then number whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated.


I am just about done with a yellow hearts pattern. Andrew is making great proggress on a green dream catcher. Danielle is almost done with whatever the square she is doing is called. :) And poor Carrie had to undo all that she had done when she realized she was doing the wrong stitch. But it's a good learning experience for her.

I saw the lace one. It's pretty.

Amber

[Chatty]

It's pretty but the directions are skewed, I think I'm going to find another square where I don't have to decipher them every other round.

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

:D That's fine. I"ve come across those kind of patterns before.....


Amber

[Chatty]

Me too, I'm trying the SuperNova, it looks pretty good, it'll just have to be smoothed out cause it's kind of wavy. I think I'll go ahead and finish it then get my blue and my red and make a couple of pineapple squares like I've been doing for my pillowghan, those are gorgeous and I can make them with my eyes closed by now :hook

:frog

[tween]

I'm making this one.. its called bright & cheery.. http://www.texasdg.net/daynascrochet/pattern.asp?id=72
in a varigated yarn, almost exactly like in the pic, do you think that would be ok? I will keep making them until I run outta yarn ok?

[Ambersafghans]

That looks great Tween. That will be great.

Makenzie will be calling me any minute. She's on her way home from the hospital. They don't know what's wrong with her Dad yet. Please pray. I don't know what to say to her!

Oh and Chatty, that sounds great. I've never tried one of the pineapple squares. And if you can do them in your sleep you can get more done! :hook

Amber

[Chatty]

I think they're all going to be the pineapple square. I've gone up 2 hook sizes on the SuperNova and it's still an inch too small, I've got the pineapple to where it's 12" every time.

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

well you can always add some rows of dc or sc right?
But whatever you want to do is fine.
Amber

[Ally]

Good Mornin'! I finished one last night. I did this one in orchid.

http://www.geocities.com/cdjsimon/cableheart.html (http://www.geocities.com/cdjsimon/cableheart.html)

I tried taking a picture of it this morning and my camera is not co-operating today! :think I'll fiddle with it and try to get it up here!

Should we send them as we make them so you can start the assembly, or should we hang on to them until we finish making the ones we're going to make? Just let me know what's more convienient for you! Have A Happy!

[Ambersafghans]

Good Morning Ally.

I can't see the picture yet (My computer not yours) But I'm sure it's pretty.
I think you could save on shipping if you sent them all at once. And I think I'd like to lay them all out to look at before I join them.
Thanks!

I have also finished one square. A yellow hearts pattern.
My sister Danielle has finished a squares. Th Wheel Lattice in gray or light purple. Carrie and Andrew are close behind!

Amber

[Chatty]

I've finished 2 pineapple squares-one in purple and the other in red. I'm working on a gold one right now and plan on making a blue one then I'll ship them out to you.

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

Oh Now I can see it Ally. That's really pretty.


That's great Chatty! You've obviously been busy. I can't wait to see them. Will you be able to send a picture of you with your squares?

for those of you who are going to do that and send a hard copy, you could probably take a picture, send the squares and then when the film is developed mail it seperatly. Or you could do it with a digital and email it and I could forward it on. Again, you don't have to take a picture if you don't want to.
Amber

[Chatty]

I can email a picture of me with all 4 squares, that'd be about the only way I could get you one, I'll just have to make sure to brush my hair first ;)

Like I said, I can make the pineapple square in a flash, I did part of one last night, fiinished it this morning and made the other one, I'm about halfway thru the gold one then I'll make the blue one.

I may not be able to mail them today, the weather's really nasty unless I get a break in it but I'll get them out as soon as possible.

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

oh my. Mailing them tomorrow will still be pretty quick! Thanks so much.
I'd better get going on my squares!
Amber

[rebeccav]

amber, how's this going?

need more? let me know.:)

[Ambersafghans]

Hi Rebecca.
If you want to make some squares that would be great! :clap We don't have a set number. You can just make how ever many you want. If we end up not having enough I'll let you guys know.
Thanks!
Amber

[divawithahook]

Is it to late to get involved in this? I'm a quick square maker :hook

[Ambersafghans]

By no means is it to late! :clap :cheer We just started the other day.

I'll send you my Address.
Amber

[mythunderbird]

hey amber,i finshed a red one in front post stitch, and also a forrest green one in a heart stitch. will make a few more before shippimg to you,:hug vicki

[kahud48]

Say, each one does a row type square (not Rounds), and each one does their own choice, as long as it has, say, 35 chains on all 4 sides when complete (before boarder---boader being one that is a simple sc, with 3sc's in the corners). This way all the squares will piece together easily. Do them in multiples of, say, 6 different pink shades that would blend,
then piece together and final boarder done with a contrasting color. Maroon, Or even a real pretty shade of purple or yellow, whatever would look good with the shades of pink in the piece.:2c

[Chatty]

I don't think Mackenzie wanted any pink in the afghan, we're doing 12" squares and sending them to Ambersafghans to put together.

I have 4 pineapple grannies done, will get them in the mail tomorrow.

Here's a pic, feel free to swipe it to send along:

[kahud48]

I thought she said pink, my falt.

by the way, I am at the chat room, do you guys want to go there?

[Ambersafghans]

Hi Kathy.
We are doing any 12" squares and not in pink. Makenzie doesn't like pink.
There are a lot of neat patterns to choose from. So we'll see how it works out. :)

Thanks Vicki! That sounds great.

Wow that was fast Chatty! Only one problem. I have no idea how to "swipe" those. :think Could you email the pictures to me? I can handle those.
Thank you Thank you Thank you! Those look so pretty. I can't wait to see them up close.

Amber

[Chatty]

We had thought about pink because the mom had breast cancer but Mackenzie told Amber no pink. She's listed some of the family's favorite colors in some posts on the first page.

:frog

[Chatty]

Just right click on the picture and choose "Save image as.." It's only one picture made up of 4 different ones so the whole thing will save.

That should do it :)

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

Hi Everyone.
To be brief, we will not be able to send the comfortghans to Makenzie. We were not able to totally validate her story when red flags went up. :ohdear
I am terribly sorry about that. She still needs your prayers, I just don't know what to pray for.

As far as the squares go if you want you can still send them to me and I will put them together. Then we can choose someone else or maybe a charity to send them to. Let me know what you think.
I really appreciate all the responses and everyone who has been helping. I'm sorry we can't get them to the person we had first intended them for. :cry

Amber

[Seneca and Scooch]

That's okay Amber, :hug Your heart was in the right place. Will continue to say prayers for her and her family.

Coralie

[Chatty]

My squares are on their way, you can use them however you like :)

:frog

[Ally]

Thanks for the update. I have another use for these squares, I'm making lapghans for the group home my fiance works at. They're all yours if you want them though! Just let me know.

[Ambersafghans]

Thanks Coralie. It was nice to read that.

I'll look forward to your squares Chatty and we'll probably put them into a charity afghan.

Ally, I guess I"m not sure. I'd like to know what the other gals are thinking about the squares. If I could get enough for an afgahn I'd take them and put them together. But if you have a use for them I don't want to have you send them unnecesarily.

What do the rest of you think?

Amber

[ellebee]

Amber - sorry this person wasn't honest with you! I already have a stack of smaller squares to send to Heartmade Blessings so I'll just add the one I made to it to save on postage. Thanks for caring about others! :hug

[mythunderbird]

amber, i am so sorry that this turned out this way. i will pray for mckenzie anyways. sounds like she needs it. i will go ahead and just finish a 12 inch square afghan that i was making then. no worries, not your fault. people sometimes are cruel and try and get things for nothing. is a sad world. but your heart is in the right place. and kari is right, never stop caring. take care:hug vicki

[Ambersafghans]

Thanks gals.
I'm glad you will be able to use the squares anyway.

Could everyone else let me know what they will do with the squares soon?
If you can use them great. If you want to send them to me anyway I'll put them together and we'll vote on a charity.
Thanks!
Amber

[divawithahook]

I only have one done right now, but was planning on doing at least another one tonight. I think I'm still going to send them to you! The idea was very sweet, and I think someone else will really love that hard work that you put into organizing this.

[Ambersafghans]

Thank you Divawithahook! :hug

Amber

[Nashville Crocheter]

Hey Amber,

I've been out of town for a few days and have not been able to keep up with this thread. I have quickly skimmed it and did not see if specific colors have been chosen??? I have not started making any squares but can start today if you still need them.

I see we are not sending them to McKenzie as planned. That is OK with me. If Amber still wants to assemble the squares, I'm sure we can find a charity to donate the afghan too. I can even help with postage if needed. :)

Amber let me know about colors you want.

Barbara

[Ambersafghans]

Thank you Barbara! :hug
That means a lot to me. We are going with worsted weight and the colors were mainly yellow, forest green, purple, orange, blue and red. But it doesn't matter a whole lot now. If you wanted to use pink that would be fine. Any color that you have laying around would work really.
And if you added something for postage it would be an extra blessing.
Thank you! :hug
Amber

[Seneca and Scooch]

Amber, I have 3 done so far and will make at least one more before I send them to you. Will send something towards shipping as well. :hug

Pretty squares Coralie :manyheart and the kitty makes a great model. Funny how the furbabies have to get on top of all our projects at least we know they like them :)

[Nashville Crocheter]

Well not sure which Comfortghans thread to post this under so here goes...

Here are 3 squares I have finished and will be sending to Amber.

Waldo's Puzzle

Dream Catcher

Cat Tracks
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/myprojects1/Cattracks12.jpg

here is my :2c . If we do not find someone specific to give the afghan too by the time it is finished, I suggest we send it to Afghans for Afghans. Amber has donated to that charity before.
OR
Lets donate it to the Linus Project. They provide blankets to babies thru teens in foster care so they will have a blanket all their own.

Barbara

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Those are really great :clap I'm gonna have to look inot the Linus project it sounds like something I'd be interested in helping with.

[Ambersafghans]

Oh I love those! Especially the first one. That one had caught my eye.

Yes I have donated to Afghans for Afghans before. I'll have to look into Linus. Thanks! (Where did you get the symbol for your two cents? :D )
Amber

Thank-you Alisha! :hug Our furbabies sure do love our projects. :manyheart

Chatty, That's Scooch, he is,,,well,,,,such a Scooch! There is never a dull moment with Seneca and Scooch. Seneca is Scooch's father and they are both such sweeties:manyheart and I openly admit to us spoiling them rotten.:cat :cat

Here is the link to the Linus Project national Website.
www.projectlinus.org

From there you can look up a chapter in your state. You can also find crochet patterns for making blankets. The sideways shell is on their pattern list. I have used that pattern several times.

This is the link to the chapter that I donate to here in TN.
http://www.projectlinus-nashville.org/

Amber...I liked the Waldo's Puzzle square too :) Someone made a couple of them for Jordan's comfortghan and I liked it and printed the pattern and have just been waiting to find the right time to try it. It was really easier than it looks. ;)

I'm glad you liked them Amber :)

The purple fleck is made by Red Heart, I picked it and some Teal Fleck up on sale at Wal Mart a long time ago and just never did anything with them. I'm not even sure if they make it anymore, I can't even find it at the C & C site. Too bad cause I really like it.

:frog

[Ambersafghans]

There are a couple of you gals that I haven't heard from yet as far as will you still be sending squares. Could you contact me soon? I'd just like to know what I have coming in so I can know the how many afghans I'll be putting to gether and how big they will be. Thanks!

Amber

[diamond]

I'm still in, Amber. Made 3 squares last night and want to get a couple more done before I mail them to you. Should be in a day or so.

[Ambersafghans]

Thanks Diamond! I've got you written down as sending squares.

Amber

[Yarnmistress]

I'd be happy to send you some squares. Just let me know where to send them to.

[nwfotobug]

I would love to help make some pink squares, I think that would be a great idea. What size would you like, and where would you like us to send them.

Kris

[quirkyvirgo]

Amber,
I have 3 finished, should be able to get to 2 more and send them on Friday, hopefully.

Tandi

[Ambersafghans]

Thanks Tandi. I"ll be watching for them.

HI Kris and Yarnmistress. Thanks for the offer that's sweet. But did you read all of the updates in this thread? It's kindof a comfortghan gone bad. :) We won't be able to get it to the original person intended. So for those who had offered at first and are still sending squares I"ll be putting them together for a charity. So if you want to send squares you could. (12") But it's not for a specific cause. :) Let me know! I'll give you my addy if you want.

:mail :mail I got two packages with squares today! Barabara they look great! I love the friendship square.
Coralie I got yours as well! They look beautiful. Did you use simply soft? They feel much softer than worsted weight. Thank you both! I can't wait to put them all together.

Thank-you for letting us know that you got the squares. I used Caron Wintuk but I think they are so soft because I washed them before I mailed them to you. I thought it would be best since Seneca and Scooch took a nap on them. :cat :cat

Wow! Today the mail box was pretty full. I got two birthday cards (Right on time!) a book I won on ebay, a movie I won on ebay and squares! Thank you Tween! The squares look great.
And it was really nice to get them after working in the garden all morning planting 300 day lillies during a gentle rain. :)
