This thread is for members of Team HAP to chat with each other.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Make sure that you have those supplies near you as you cheer on the athletes around you. I am warming up, went through my stash and pulled out the masculine colors, and I am balancing my time between projects. I have the schedule of heats available for when I need to be working ion rectangles. I know that together we will finish ahead of the game.

[MarleenCrochets]

I am with you and ready to go. Let's go for the GOLD.

[proudmama762003]

okay, i posted something similar in the 'sky' team thread but what does HAP stand for?

"Handmade Afghans to Thank our Armed Forces Project" (http://www.rectangle6x9.org/) :hook But, "Rectangles for the Troops" works, too!

[missmaxx]

I'm ready.



Go Team HAP!

[angelfire]

good luck , love the quilt too. We will all work together and go for the gold with the troops benefitting the most

[missmaxx]

And it isn't lunch time yet! I'm sure there will be days I won't be able to work on these so I want to get as many today as possible. That will help put a big dent in that 100. I figured I needed to average 6.25 per day for gold.
:U

Go Team HAP!

[jammerholly]

Okay...I have to ask! Is everyone waiting for the Opening Ceremonies broadcast in their own time zone before they start?

[chirpybirdy18]

OK Team!! I am starting now on rectangles!! This is just so cool! Good luck everyone! I know we can do it!!

Hi Holly,

Go Team HAP!

[yarnspinnerlmj]

May I join and how do I join?

[missmaxx]

Hi,
Just go to Athletes and follow Amy's directions.
This is Team HAP making rectangles for the troops.

Hope to see you back here very soon!

[jammerholly]

Okay...I've started crocheting!!! I have the day off at work today and the house to myself, so I'm turning on Turner Classic Movies and crocheting! :hook Go Team HAP!!!

[MarleenCrochets]

I got started this morning and in between running around I have 2 complete. Hopefully I will get more done during the Opening Ceremonies.

[Carla J]

I just stopped in to say....

:cheer:cheer:cheer:clap:clap:cheer:cheer

Yeaaaaa TEAM!!!! Great job!

[angelfire]

I have 4 done for the day, I am going to continue until I go to bed tonight.

[jammerholly]

I'm currently on #3. I switched from Turner Classic Movies, and I'm now watching the DCI (Drum Corps International) semi-finals live webcast on my computer. I know...I should be watching the Opening Ceremonies, but my daughter's in the show. I'll update the count in my signature when I'm done for the evening! Go Team HAP!!

Woo Hoo! My daughter's group will be in the finals tomorrow night!!! :yay
They placed 14th last year, and didn't get past the semi-finals. Right now, they're sitting in 8th. :D That's probably where they'll finish tomorrow, but that's okay! They're happy with their success!

Anyway, back to crocheting! :crocheting I was just wondering...how many others are doing the exact same stitch/pattern for every rectangle and using the same kind of yarn? I know I am just for the sake of getting the job done. Go Team HAP!!!!

[angelfire]

ongrats for your daughter. Keep up teh crocheting and the opening cermonies wikll be re-run, Your daughter is in a olympics of her own. :cheer:cheer:cheergo team

[missmaxx]

Hi Team,
I'm posting my total for today (it's 11:32 PM). If I make any more tonight they'll go on tomorrows tally.

TA DA!


I got 8! I need to finish the ends. And, if you're curious I used a very boring double crochet all day. The darker yarn is TLC Essentials in "Claret" and the Red is Red Heart Soft Yarn in "Cherry Red". I hope to do a different stitch tomorrow, but this is my 'old reliable" and quickest. I wanted to see how many I could do on an average day. I had company this afternoon and took time out to help do some weeding at the local playground. + my regular household stuff: supper, a load of laundry, etc.


Over my target of 6.25 per day. :D I hope to keep up this pace but the extras will help on days I won't be able to crochet as much.

Go Team HAP!

here are the 10 camo rectangles that I have done so far. I was able to get some done this morning and wanted to post before I went to the PO. I will be back to the competion tonight while my grandson is here. Hopefully I will get 4 more done.

[jammerholly]

WOW! You guys are doing awesome! I finished three yesterday, and I was able to knock one out this morning before coming to work. But, I did bring my yarn with me! So, when I get a break I "will" be stitching!!! :hook

[angelfire]

Holly,
I had most of the afternoon and evening while hubby was busy. I also don't work right now because of migraines.
I know that you will do some as you can and there will be days that I can't crochet, I will be in a dark room with the covers over my head and earplugs in my ears because even the birds singing can be thundering.

[MarleenCrochets]

You guys are fast!!! I got three done last night and this morning we had to take our Daughter to the airport so I got 2 more done in the car. So I am at a total of 5 ... but the day has really just begun!!! GO TEAM.

[missmaxx]

[missmaxx]

Hi everyone,
Just checking it. I've got 5 so far today. I'll be watching the games this evening and hope to add to my day's total. :)

GO TEAM HAP!

[angelfire]

right now I have 7 more done, but I want to work on some more tonight. I used a skein making them so it helps my stashbusting score.:)

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i245/angelfire4u4ever/012.jpg


it is called earth and sky doesn't sow the browns and blue well but I have three more skeins of it to make up before I finish the games. I think I will change and do some of my other colors tomorrow because I am kind of tired of looking at this color:lol

[missmaxx]

Hi All,
It's 11:46 PM and I have 8 done for today. :)

I know I was going to try another pattern but I'm going to cite the "first rule in ..........(anything - in this case "crochet") and say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" :lol

Great job angelfire!

[jammerholly]

Good morning everyone! :) I got one done this morning while I was watching "CBS Sunday Morning" (like I do every Sunday). I'm up to a total of eight right now, but that's right where I need to be. :yes I have to pick up my middle daughter at the airport in a little while, but I'll probably take my crocheting with me! Then I'll have the rest of the afternoon when I get back to crochet.

Just wanted to share with all of you that I heard from my eldest daughter. She's in Kuwait and should be going "down range" in a couple of weeks. For anyone who doesn't know, she's a medic and this will be her first deployment. Please, keep her in your thoughts & prayers? Thank you!

[MarleenCrochets]

Holly - Your Daughter will remain in my prayers until she returns to you. Big hugs to you too. As far as our HAP Team goes, I am working on #12. If I keep going at this rate (which is alot more than I usually have time for) my Coach is going to say that I didn't set my original goal high enough.

[missmaxx]

Today's been a tough one to find time to crochet. Claire and Emma are visiting and will be staying over night. I'll be working at it but I don't expect to keep up the 8 a day pace. Days like today make me glad I'm a little ahead of my plan.

Though perhaps you are a sprinter rather than a marathoner?

Maybe you can win a platinum medal for surpassing your goal?

Okay...got two more done this evening for a total of three today. That keeps me right on plan. I'm still hoping on going "over" my plan, but I'm pleased that I'm staying on track.

Go Team HAP! :cheer

[angelfire]

I was able to do 7 today. I will be doing the remainder of the skein of white before I go to bed, but I wnated to put my totals in for the day. I will add the extras to tomorrow's totals.

[missmaxx]

Very nice angelfire! I really like the stitch too. What are you using?


As I said, my Sunday total is down (4). I'm really glad I was slightly ahead.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii140/missmaxx_crochet/DSCN0001-2.jpg

I'm going to have a little more time tomorrow. I hope to get back on pace then.

Go Team HAP!
On most of those I used a row of cross stitches and a row of single crochet, they work up quickly, about 45 minutes or less.

[Carla J]

Cos, it's looking great! Enjoy your visitors! Looks like you have enough :mdust to catch up later if needed.

Angelfire your squares are pretty!

:cheer :cheer GO TEAM HAP! :cheer :cheer

some sideline cheer for you guys :cheer :yay

[MarleenCrochets]

Though perhaps you are a sprinter rather than a marathoner?

My thumbs and wrists are telling me that I need to slow up or I will never make it to the end of the race. Do you think that this happens to Michael Phelps? Maybe I could borrow one of his trainers!!!!


GO TEAM HAP:hook:hook

[angelfire]

I was able to complete one more last night and did eight today for a total of nine more.

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i245/angelfire4u4ever/002.jpg

I used the Tiffany stitch for four of them and the dc for the other five. Since I am half way to my original goal I am going to take tomorrow to tuck tails.

[jammerholly]

Morning Ladies! I forgot to post last night that I'd done my three for the day. So, I'm still right on task. :hook

Have to tell you that I spent part of my day yesterday at the USO inside of DFW Airport. All I can say is WOW! They've got a wonderful facility set up to assist all the troops coming through there on a daily basis. DFW is one of the airports that the R&R flights come into every day (along with Atlanta). They are there to try to help with anything that the service members (and their family members) might need while at the airport. I can hardly wait until I go back next Monday!

[Carla J]

Here's the Team Afghan march poem by Kristy:

Grab your yarn and grab your hooks,
Get your scissors and your books,
We can do it, yes we can,
We can make it Team Afghan!

and added Rosered:

Sound off - 1, 2
Sound off - 3, 4
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2
3, 4!!!

Let's get that rhythm going! lol

We got to keep and eye on those 'ghan'ers --- Just remember that Team HAP so good they don't need a march!

[teakaycee]

Good morning!
Looks like you guys are moving right along...... AWESOME.
Keep up the good work ladies........... I see Gold in them thar projects.
Thought I would stop by... lend my support and pass out some water before I get busy with my project.

Can someone please call Timmy? OR Wanda?

Five is still great and I am sure you will reach your goal as we are a great team and I am sure that there is a sprinter involved that will take the final leg and take us to the gold.

[jammerholly]

Good Morning everyone! I just popped in to say "Hi", and that I was staying on track :crocheting. But, I was just reading all of your posts....and I have to tell you....I'm worried about some of you. :worried I'm afraid that once this challenge is done, you're going to still be crocheting rectangles in your sleep! You won't be able to stop yourselves! I wonder...is there some kind of "professional" help available for all of us? :think

[MarleenCrochets]

We certainly need to check for professional help. I like the massage therapy idea :idea:heart Oh my aching back (:lol). Thanks for the laughs :haha:laughroll . They have kept my hookin'. Not as good as previous days but I am working on number 28. Everybody have a great day. I'll be back for more :2magic and encouragement :hook

[marikamum]

I certainly think Cosmo (aka Nancy, aka Missmaxx) needs to learn a new stitch or (s)he will never be able to crochet anything but dc rectangles again - the motor movements will have imprinted on the neural pathways and our :flake progress layouts will never be the same!

Great work from all the team, though :U

Go Team HAP :cheer

Not as good as previous days but I am working on number 28. Everybody have a great day. I'll be back for more :2magic and encouragement :hook

I'll check with my daughter! She's going to school for massage therapy! Maybe she'll give us a good deal! :blush

[angelfire]

Good Morning everyone! I just popped in to say "Hi", and that I was staying on track :crocheting. But, I was just reading all of your posts....and I have to tell you....I'm worried about some of you. :worried I'm afraid that once this challenge is done, you're going to still be crocheting rectangles in your sleep! You won't be able to stop yourselves! I wonder...is there some kind of "professional" help available for all of us? :think
Start crocheting in my sleep...I think I have been doing that for some time now, I crochet everywhere in the house except the "head". I carry the yarn in abag on my wrist even when I check the mail. Yes professional help is needed and a good massage would be great right now, I would ask my DH but alas he is golfing

[Carla J]

am sorry I've had to run errands today. I am sorry everyone is so sore...even myself...it the weather here. A study :rain.

:oops I guess I should have passed the baton to someone here to be able to use part of the gorgeous masseurs instead of keeping them in the holding area.

I tell you what we can split them up and have a personal on-demand gorgeous masseur for each team. That sounds fair to me.

Here's :king Gorgeous George. :wink He has extra towels to wipe the :sweat off of your brows and his pillows are nice and :fluffy. He's ready at a moments notice. Just ask him for help.

[angelfire]

As long as it isn't Gorgeous George Foreman, I am probably alright, I don't think I could take the power in those hands on my delicate spine...:eek But I can use a little massage oil on my shoulders.

[MarleenCrochets]

I was kind of hoping for one named Sven :devil Could you use a little bit of your :2magic and see if he might be in the Alternate's holding area? Until then, :crocheting:crocheting:crocheting:crocheting

Please look around for Antonio while you're in there. I might need a little help from someone who looks, sounds, and feels like Antonio Banderas.
:devil


Or I'll take any of the cabana boys who might be hanging around......... although I've come to the conclusion they just don't make cabana boys like they used to! :devil:devil:devil

Sorry I was thinking more like gorgeous george (like george of the jungle movie with Brandon Fraiser) :heehee

As for Sven, he's with the Team Accessories for me and my Teambuds...:devil

[angelfire]

That is ok, I am thinking George Clooney

[Carla J]

That is ok, I am thinking George Clooney
What ever works for you for the Gorgeous George, is fine with me...:D

[MarleenCrochets]

Sven ... Team Accessories ... how can that be?? I thought that I saw him in the stands watching Misty May!! :devil He must have thought that she could use a massage after this match. What a sweet cabana boy!!! Now George Clooney ... there is a great thought :manyheart Back to the rectangles :lol

Hi everyone,
It's great to see all the rectangles being made here. I'm so glad I decided to pick Team HAP for my challenge.

I did much better today and got 8! I even took Marika's advice and changed my stitch! Well, sort of....... :D

They're alternating rows of dc and crossed dc. I'm at the end of the red and blue yarn so I'm goig to quit for tonight. I have a few things to do tomorrow so I don't expect to make another 8 - but I will make as many as I can. :yes

I have been working on rectangles last night and today and made 12 , I will work on more tonight. It was one of those days that the rectangles rolled off the hooks with ease, I guess the training helped, of maybe ti was the massage that kept me up most of the night since I was so relaxed. :manyheart

Though I have done more than 7 between posting last night and now. I have only photographed 7 of them. I will post the rest in the morning after I get up.

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i245/angelfire4u4ever/rectangles/008.jpg

[Carla J]

Wow Angelfire, sniff sniff, is that burning yarn cuz your hooks are on fire? :D

I think it is great that you have been able to make sooo many... You go girl!

[missmaxx]

Angelfire and Holly - great pics! WTG!

Today was not a good rectangle day :(. I only have two.
I have a very busy Saturday ahead and today was spent getting ready. My little town has a reunion on the third Sat of Aug every year. We're just a tiny little borough of about 100 households. There will be a picnic with all the neighbors and everyone who ever lived here is invited to join us at our local park/playground for hot dogs, hamburgers, and potato salad - all made by the reunion committee. We'll add side dishes and desserts that the neighbors will bring. I made my homemade chocolate/peanutbutter fudge tonight and will be making a roaster full of rigatoni - using our homemade sauce- tomorrow morning.
It's just a typical summer picnic, but I sort of have to be there. You see, I'm married to the Mayor. I'm also the Judge of Elections. Yes, I'm Judge and First Lady! :wink

I can see the chances of making any rectangles tommorrow aren't good.
At least I'm a little ahead of schedule and I'll have to really hit the hook on Sunday, Monday....etc.
So for tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you.


GO TEAM HAP!

[angelfire]

Dear first Lady, enjoy your picnic, since my hook is on fire I will take the leg tomorrow and you can take it on Sunday when I have to do laundry, my machine broke so it is to the dungeon laundromat for me.

[jessicagil]

I belong to another team as I am Sissies slave... just kidding! But seriously I have been watching this thread & decided I will help HAP even though I am not on this team. :D It may not be a lot of rectangles but each one helps!

Ok, I admit I miss my DH, he is off enjoying the weekend at a waterpark in Wisconsin Dells with his children, so I crocheted until a few minutes ago. I have 12 more and will do some more tomorrow afternoon after I do my FA Awareness squares in the morning.
Here they are;

As the demand for massages increased, we had to call in extra help. Here is teammate already receiving their turn.

[missmaxx]

Just checking in for a quick look.
All the prep work is finally done- now I need to change clothes - we can't have the first lady looking like she spent the morning making potato salad and getting the park ready. Did I mention my duties include refilling the TP in the restrooms? It's very hard to keep the tarnish off my tiara in the dang potty! Takes years of practice and lots of luck. :D

OK ...off to the first bathroom to change into clean shorts. The first cat will require some petting today too. The duties of this office just never end.....


GO TEAM HAP!

Happy crocheting,

[MarleenCrochets]

Jessicagil - Thank you so much for helping out the Team. If you have read some of the threads you can see that we can use alot of help of many many kinds. :confused:morcoffee:kettle:sleep

I wasn't sure if I could get many more completed without Sven but I gritted my teeth and kept on hookin. My total as of right now is 41 :yay

Hi everyone! I'm home from work, dinner's done, and I'm getting ready to start crocheting again! :hook I informed my family that my mission-in-life tomorrow will be to set up the crock-pot in the morning, watch movies, and crochet! :dreaming Of course, that's "always" a perfect Sunday to me!

[angelfire]

I took this afternoon and early evening to crochet some rectangles. I wanted to make sure that I did a few extra so our First Lady,Judge and Grandma extraordinaire could relax knowing that they team was behind her as she finished her important duties.
Eleven for today, tomorrow I will do my four and work on crocheting together one of the rectangle sets that arrived today.

going to bed now , feeling under the weather tonight, you would think I had latrine duty today

[missmaxx]

Hi everyone,
The party is over - the reunion folks keep getting older and leave pretty early. All went well. Thanks for all your support in my absence. :D

There was one surprise - I won $100! I was really surprised - I never win. When I buy a ticket I always think of it as a donation because I never win. Well that's not true anymore. :)

OK, back to rectangles. You've been busy! Great Job!

I'm going to have my stuff ready for morning. Claire and Emma are sleeping over again tonight but everyone is tired out from the party. I might get time to make one tonight. Depends on if I can keep my eyes open.

happy crocheting,

[angelfire]

I must be on Bejing time, I have been up crocheting and watching movies while doing some latrine inspections. I have six more done. I started them after midnight, I guess they count for today. I am posting a poicture and then back to bed and try not to feel like I am still doing the marathon.

I just noticed that I did not make it onto the Team list. I must have signed up too late. I am only on the individual list. Do I need to send Sven back? :lol:lol

[angelfire]

I haven't done any rectangles this afternoon, though I did six after midnight, I did add a new element to my routine though, I crocheted a rectangle set together that arrived yesterday. I do plan on working on some rectangles tonight though before midnight but post tomorrow.
Back from the dungeion, couldn't crochet there as there wasn't anywhere to sit down. Was a very busy dungeon today.

For clarity's sake I'll say that the two wonderful angels I spend all my time with are my great nieces - Technically they are my sister's grandchildren.

Wow 12 , you sure made up for taking time to be first lady on Saturday.
These are the ones I made up after putting tow rectangle sets together. The white and sage are from the left over yarn and the camo is so that I made at least four last night. They are sitting on top of the box that is ready to send back to StarStrong.

I will just have to make sure that I am not social this morning between dropping off my daughter at school and going back to do reading with her class (my only non-spoken-for half hour of the day!)

My dearest Wanda,
Please don't think twice about it :hug. Truth be known, I'd jump at the chance to be Claire and Emma's Grammy. Except of course when Claire decides it's "appreciate your Aunt Day"! :haha We've had two of those this summer! I'm sure I don't know where she gets this stuff. But I love it when she does!
Yesterday, at her cousin's 1st birthday party she asked if it would be OK for her to read the cards as Leigha opened the gifts. She solemly opened each card as they were handed to her and read every one of them out loud. There was one she took her time with - doing OK but slow (for her) I walked up behind her and saw the problem -It was written in cursive. She read every word. Did I mention she's 5 and hasn't started school yet? We're very proud of her. :yes

OK, back to crochet. I have 3 rectangles so far today I need to spend the evening with a hook in my hand!

GO TEAM HAP!


Warmest regards,

GO TEAM HAP!

[StarStrong]

Hey Team HAP can I unofficially join???
I can’t imagine there is a event for this but my personal Team HAP goal is to get all the photographed HAP handmade afghans I have in my house washed and wrapped by the end of the games. Have already this morning photographed 11 and looks like there are about 20 to go. That will bring the total to be washed and wrapped to around 60……… I’ll wash and you all make 6” x 9” rectangles so I’ll have more to wash after our September design event.

GO TEAM HAP!!! :jumpyay:jumpyay:jumpyay

[angelfire]

I need to do 4 squares a day for the next 5 days, (includes today) to reach gold, that doesn't mean 20 rectangles as my goal was a minimum of 4 per day, meaning I will be the last one competing to get gold. Here are today's , I finished up the two different shades of gray that I had.

Hi All,
I haven't been posting.... I'm trying to finish! :)
I also haven't made a lot of progress. :sigh

Yesterday I only got 3. Today it was 6. Pictures tomorrow.

I believe there's a conspiracy out there. Hey, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out there waiting. .... :lol

I'm calling it quits for tonight. My hands are tired. I'll have more energy tomorrow.

Keep up the good work angelfire. I'm amazed at how many you can get done in a day. My simple pattern takes me at least 25 minutes to complete. Your hook is on fire!

GO TEAM HAP!

Best I can figure out the games end at around midnight on Sunday night in China which is noon Saturday in Washington D.C. ~ would LOVE to be wrong on this one........

Now I'm really confused..... okay, if the Closing ceremony ends at 11:59 pm on Sunday, August 24 in China it looks like I messed up and the is NOON on Sunday in Washington D.C.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting there!

I went shopping today and picked up some safety pins and a few spools of narrow red, white, and blue ribbon to include in my donation box.
The really good news is I'm already into the "honorable mention" range. Tomorrow I'll try to get to silver and I'm hoping to make gold by Saturday morning. I'll need to weave in some ends! I also have my bag of practice rectangles - I'll be sending them out as well. They don't count in my Greek Games challenge - they weren't made in the time frame but they're still good rectangles.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to check in and say "I'm still here"! I haven't crocheted in two-three days! :( It's been a hectic week! I had to drive my daughter to Arkansas yesterday morning for school, and then I drove back to Texas last night. To make my goal I have to crochet 15 more rectangles in the next 24 hours. Wish me luck!
