Hello all!
I am still quite overwhelmed by the amount of squares that were donated for this first afghan project. It’s amazing to see all the colors and the patterns. Currently, there are two afghans being pieced together. I a hoping they will be finished this weekend and we can get two ore in the works. I will say, picking the “right” squares for each afghan is difficult and so much fun!
I have been asked about colors. What color do I receive the most of and which colors do I need or would like. To answer these questions I say any color you wish to work with. I know this doesn’t give you the answer you are looking for. To give an idea of what was received this time around I have grouped the squares by color. I was surprised to see the most squares belonged to the greens, blues and purples while there were hardly any pinks. I thought for sure there would be an over flow of pink. Any way, here is a list of colors and number of squares that are not currently designated to the 2 afghans being put together right now. I am including photos of the piles as well since my color explanation may not be much help.
Remember this is an on going project and I will always be collecting and knitting/crocheting squares. I a setting the next approximate deadline for February 7, 2012. I know we can collect another 300 squares in that amount of time!
As always, you are all amazing and I could not do this without you!
