I haven't been living at my house most of the summer but have been receiving my mail, if you were wondering why I haven't posted the squares I've received.

But Yes I am still accepting squares.

I have been keeping the envelopes here set aside and will post all the cities and states when I finally get the chance to go through the new ones.

Thank you!

To all the blog readers:

The journey has come to an end. I embarked on this venture as a fluke, and continued with it because I was amazed at the kindness and generosity of the crocheters throughout the world (literally).

In the past few months, I have seen more than my share of those people who seem to not understand charity, not understand kindness, and most of all who on a regular basis really make my days filled with more strife and disappointment than happiness.

I have received emails telling me how horribly written my pattern is, that it is unfit for offering. I have received nasty replies to my denials to the group because I am trying to protect members from spammers with vague applications. Recently, my appeals to those trying to profit from the pattern to cease and desist have been met with implications that I am a bully and have no right to request that my intellectual property be used for the greater good.

And so, I have decided to close the door that welcomed the generous people for so long, but now brings to me those that lack empathy, kindness and decency. My energies will be solely directed now at creating beautiful gifts from the squares I currently have, and having only positive thoughts in my head, heart and hands as I think of the people out there that UNDERSTAND not only how to turn fiber into finished product, but also that there is another level where we take that gift we are given to make gifts for others.

Regards,
Krystal

Babette-style blanket

2010-08-18T13:34:00.004-04:00

If you're a member of the Yahoo group, you might be aware that I am going to do a different project in October. Over the years, I have accumulated squares as donations that don't follow the color scheme and/or they are way smaller or larger than others that I have.

In the fashion of the Babette blanket, I am going to attempt to make a blanket that utilizes these "odd" squares, by adding rounds and joining them to make a contiguous afghan. It will still used daisy squares, but random colors and sizes.

To that end, on Yahoo! the group I have written the specifications for how people can participate. Feel free to check out the group and join in.

I decided to have a little fun today and took all the squares that I had in my "oddball" bag, and I had a whole lot mroe than I thought I did. So, I sorted them by hue:

First up is the neutrals: tans, browns, greens like you'd find in the forest.

This is the mid-range colors: pinks, purples, greens that are a little deeper than pastels..

And here are the BRIGHTS!!!

DaisyZag ... done and border

2010-04-28T18:30:00.004-04:00

The zigzag daisy is finished! It came out pretty square, which wasn't planned, but I suppose I should have realized! I am quite sure that the hospital will find a happy recipient.

I try to make each one even just a slight bit different. First, because I want each to be unique in its construction as well as its design. Second, I don't want to get bored doing the same old thing!

You can find instructions on how I bordered and assembled this afghan in "ripple" style here. The border is simple:

Round 1: Join black yarn with slip stitch in the 2nd dc of any outer corner, sc in each stitch across until the 2nd st before the next valley. Do a sc dec across the next two sts (insert hook in next st, yo, pull through, insert hook in next st, yo, pull through, yo and pull through all loops on hook). Sc dec in next st as well. sc in each dc across to next outer corner and do 3sc in 2nd dc of the corner grouping. Continue around in this fashion until you are back to the corner you began with and do 2 more sc in beginning st.

Round 2: ch2 , do rhc in same st (yo insert hook in st indicated yo, pull through, yo, pull through all loops on hook), ch1, YOUR NEXT STITCH IS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION YOU USUALLY WORK IN. If you are right-handed, you will be working CLOCKWISE. If you work left-handed, you will be working COUNTER CLOCKWISE. sk next st in the reversed direction, and then do a rhdc into the next st in the reversed direction... Keep working in this fashion: *rhdc, ch1, sk next st* When you get to an outer corner, you will need to do a rhdc, ch1, rhdc in same st. When you get to an inside corner, do not do anything differently.

Daisy in Progress....

2010-04-04T20:38:00.003-04:00

This daisy is going to be a zigzag!

I am starting in one corner of a square, 3ch and dc in first ch1 space. dc across until 2nd last dc in row.

(this is inside corner)
Then do yo, insert hook in next dc, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, insert hook in corner ch1 space, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook, TAKE NEW SQUARE, yo, insert hook in corner ch1 sp, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook, yo, insert hook in next dc, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through all loops on hook....

dc across to next corner, 3dc in ch1 space to make outer corner.

Keep doing this until you have as many squares in the row as you want, then round the end doing an outside corner, and do the "underside of the row" the same way making inside corners in the valleys and outside corners in the peaks.

To join, I am simply doing topstitch in a variegate using back loops only of the two rows.

Pics of squares!

2010-04-01T14:51:00.003-04:00

I have been without internet for a couple of days, and the house has gotten clean. (Where is that whistling smiley?) That left me with extra time today while the kids were off of school, so I had them open all the packages up and label them (that is their job!). I finally have pictures for you!

The love cutting the stamps off of the envelopes and sticking them into their notebook, my daughter takes any note cards and uses them in her card making, and any post cards get hung with their collection. It's a win-win situation for all of us.

I need to change the way I maintain the squares on the blog. Demands on my time have forced me to realize that I'm not going to be able to count and inventory every square that I receive. Instead, I will post here on a regular basis (hopefully the same day) with information when I receive squares in the mail. That way, if you have sent your squares you can check here and know when they come in. Once I have the time to make sure each square is labeled, I will then take a picture of a bunch at once, but they won't be listed as to where each one is from, it will just be a picture. That means that the counts and maps on the right won't be kept up any longer.

However, if I want to have time to actually DO the afghans, I think this is a fair sacrifice.

So, here are the squares I have in my basket. If you didn't put a return address on yours, I will be using the postmark.

Newest Daisy Afghan Finished

2010-03-08T09:50:00.003-05:00

Wow, it's been a super-long time since I've posted on here!

As usual, I have squares here that need to be photographed and inventoried and put up here on the blog. They're safe and sound, though. I've been trying to "declutter" and part of it is trying to get some of my WIPs finished and out of the house so that I have room to store daisy squares.

I will be starting a new daisy in the not-too-distant future, but want to get the prior stuff all organized first.

Here's the afghan I just finished. I don't have the squares listed yet, but hope to do that by the end of the week. If you click on the image, it should pop up quite large so you can see if your square is in there.

Labels

2009-10-12T14:23:00.001-04:00

I have been working on putting labels of the squares on each post so you can search for squares by location of origin. I hope it makes your browsing more fun!

Unlabeled Squares - PLEASE HELP

Keep your hats on ladies and gentlemen... I'm using this Civic holiday to get caught up labeling and uploading all of the squares I have on hand...

First, I want to thank a sender from Zimbabwe for the extra money sent to buy yarn. It will get used tomorrow, because I'm in need of more white at the moment!

Second, thanks to the friend from an unknown location for the purse key finder. I'm sorry I didn't get where you were from, the kids kept track of where the squares were from but not your gift. :( How did you know my purse was a big bottomless pit? LOL

Third, thanks to the friend from Malaysia for the great bookmark!

Next up, squares!

Friedrich's Ataxia Lapghan/Babyghan Raffle

2009-08-01T20:03:00.000-04:00

At Jimbo's Front Porch, Jimbo makes handcrafted wooden crochet hooks of all different kinds and then auctions them off. They are truly a treasure to use! A few months ago, a young friend of Jimbo's was diagnosed with Friedrich's Ataxia, a rare and horrendous disease. Since then, he has been making it his mission to spread the word and raise funds for research for a cure. Jimbo has so graciously made a gorgeous hook and dubbed it the Traveling Hook III. I signed up to be one of the recipients, and all objects made with the Traveling Hook are being auctioned or raffled off to raise money for Jimbo's cause. I just had the wonderful pleasure of having the hook for a week, and this is my creation with it!

I will be raffling this lapghan/ baby afghan off during the month of APRIL.

It is 33.5" x 41.5" and is made with baby weight yarn, so it is a medium weight. 100% acrylic.

How will this work? Tickets will be $1 each, or 6 for $5. I will accept PayPal using my krochetkrystal *AT* yahoo *DOT* com account. Simply send the amount of money you wish and I will calculate tickets. (FOR EXAMPLE: If you send me $12, you will get 6 + 6 + 2 =14 tickets, but you can send any amount you wish.) If you wish to send money order (no personal checks), please email me at krochetkrystal * at * yahoo * dot * com and I will send you my address. I will ship the afghan to the United States ONLY. Once I receive a notification from PayPal that I have received a payment from you, I will post your initials, city and state HERE and the number of tickets that you have purchased. Drawing will be held on May 1st, 2009 regardless of number of tickets sold. I will not be responsible for payments lost in the mail or payments that are received after April 30th at 11:59PM EST. If I receive a payment after this time, I will refuse the payment on paypal or return the regular mail envelope to you.

Please help me to raise a lot of money for Jimbo and Friedrich's Ataxia. Your odds of winning will depend completely upon how many tickets are sold. I am not going to limit the number of tickets sold. It could be 10, it could be 1,000. Please make sure that it is OK for you to participate based on the rules in your area.

TO BUY TICKETS: simply send me a PayPal payment to krochetkrystal AT yahoo DOT com in the dollar amount you want. MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS IN THE PAYMENT!!!

Tickets Sold: 64

14 - JG in Aberdeen, NJ $12
14 - AL-V in Holland, NY $12
12 - GP in Bremen, GA $10
12 - LG in Portales, NM $10

2009 Daisy Afghan 3

2009-04-10T13:39:00.004-04:00

Here is the third afghan finished this year.

I used all of the "odd" squares - the ones with off-white or different colored backgrounds.

The yarn is Caron One Pound Natura in Cream.

The border is multiple rows of staggered shell stitch.

OK, I'm trying to keep up with the squares as I get them. Fingers crossed!

This one came today and is from Columbus, OH

Squares identified!

2009-01-04T18:46:00.000-05:00

The squares I had mislabeled have now been identified. I should have just looked at my own post to realize that they were the ones from Federal Way, WA!!!

They are already in the count, so now I just have to fix the tags. WHEW!

Interesting Statistics

2009-01-01T16:53:00.003-05:00

Congratulations to Arizona Members - the first to reach 100 squares from their state! (California isn't far behind!)

Welcome to new regions of Louisiana and Argentina!

And a Happy New Year to everyone. I hope to keep this up-to-date now, but I'm pretty sure I've said that before! I've got the next afghan in the works, so expect a picture fairly soon!

Now that all the holiday crafting is over, I hope to get a lot of afghans assembled. Here's a "toast" to lots of productivity!

OK, I'm realizing from my count that I should only have FOUR squares from Suwanee, GA. If you recognize any of these squares as YOURS, please let me know!

I haven't included the extra 6 in the count, so I need to fix that once I know where they belong.

I'm sorry - sometimes my kids get things a little messed up when they're helping. :(

Well, as promised I have put my children to work and we have labeled, photographed and sorted out all the squares sitting in my box!!!!

I'm going to post all of the photos first, then update the count from my list. If you're looking at this as I add them in, things might be a little unorganized until I get it all finished. I'll have several posts because I can only do 5 pictures or so per post, I think.

Squares received and updated count....

2008-09-22T19:30:00.000-04:00

Here are all the squares that I have. I am going to add them to the count, even though I don't have photos of them, because some were trying to get my count above 1000 before the 2 year anniversary.

Just a hunch, but I think you made it! ;)

I came home last night after a VERY long day... the start of a VERY long wedding weekend (not mine, TG!)... and found a very large box waiting for me.

Inside this box was a gorgeous daisy afghan already made in white background, light purple, yellow and green. Also included were tags and some more ssquares for other afghans! I don't have time right now to photo it (wedding is this afternoon!) but hope to do so on Tuesday. Thank you SO much!
