good idea
Jacqueline.....4.................lol thank you -- Take a few minutes and check out my Web Page http://www.geocities.com/jacqbutt/Ha...iewCrafts.html "Liz" wrote in message ... Hi All. I'm delurking to say another way for the excited and/or underloaded people to make their afghan to grow more quickly would be to sign up twice in the same month with a number after their name, such as "Lucy1" and "Lucy2".

May I ask how you join you r squares?

But again that would mean that if Jacqueline did that she would get all her
squares from all of the group quicker and then not resign up again, two months later another newbie might join, and not get the chance to partner Jacqueline as she stopped signing in earlier as she had all the squares from the group...so didn't bother reading the sign-ups list....if you get my meaning....lol. cheers.....Cher "Liz" wrote in message ...

To add to this, it is a good idea though...and one that could be used if
the list starts to wain or drag on too long and people get fed up with it. Cheers.....Cher "Liz" wrote in message ... Hi All.

"Jacqueline Butt" wrote in message ... May I ask how you join you r squares? I crochet a border in black yarn - usually just sc. Then whipstitch them together in a strip, then whipstitch the strip to the afghan. Because the squares are not all the same size, using the black border helps me even them up. Shelagh |

I've been collecting squares for a long time.... and the thing is, if Jaqueline is in a hurry, she'll have it done long before the rest of us anyway, and may want to use more squares for a vest, another blanket, or whatever. It will all work out. Shelagh |

Sorry, I didn't think that this would make people finish quicker and drop
out of the list too quickly. I'd like to make my squares into lapghans and give them to the hospital, so this is something I can do more or less indefinitely! Liz "Cher" wrote in message ...
