Create A Christmas Afghan - 12" Square Swap

Create A Christmas Afghan - 12" Square Swap At Yahoo!Swapaholic_Crocheters

Swapping 12" squares in Traditional or Victorian colors.

We will swap in July, August, September, and October. (November swap will be added if needed)

Four squares each month.

Then we will have a minimum of sixteen 12" squares to complete an afghan during the month of November, and then will have a GORGEOUS afghan to help decorate for the holidays!

I can't wait to get started!!!!!!!!

More Swapping Squares

Here are some of the squares I have made for RAOKs and Swaps so far this year. The pink ones are both 12" squares and the Monet and Purple/Varigated Purple are 8" squares. I love square swapping :-) All squares are done in RH WW and a J-hook.

I am super excited 'cause I am going to Vegas this weekend! YAY! Hopefully I will have TONS to share when I get back!

Catching up

I've been busy trying to get gifts completed for Christmas and working on swaps. I wanted to thank my C'ville Secret Pal for the lovely packages that she sent. She really did her research.

The little Webkinz black cat in the front has been adopted by DD.

I absolutely love the Tea Spot cup and loose leaf tea she sent me. I loved EVERYTHING she sent! Thanks Paula/OzRebel!!!!

This is the 12" square I made for my swap partner on Yahoo! Swappin_Squares. It's RHWW shaded purples. I used a Sunburst Square Pattern from Heartmade Blessings.

And this is one of my WIPs. It's for my best friends little boy for Christmas. I am using a pattern from Bella Dia - Vintage Vertical Stripe Crocheted Blanket Pattern. It's turning out great, and it's super easy to work.

More swappin'

I received my 12" square from Betty (Yahoo! Swappin_Squares)

Thank you Betty! I am hoping to eventually make my daughter an afghan using 12" squares in shades of pink and purple from my swaps. This is the first one I have received, isn't it great? :-)

These are the two scarves I made for my Crochetville Scarf Swap Partner :-)

and these are the scarves I received from my swap partner (thanks again afswife!)

This is the contents from the packages that my Crochetville Secret Pal has sent me so far. Isn't this stuff great! My nephew fell in love with the cat :-)

Too many WIPs, not enough time!

I have been crocheting away on dishclothes, here are the completed ones. I also just completed a 12" granny for my September Square Swap.

I am working on a few more things for my Autumn Secret Pal Swap and Winter Scarf Swap, which I intend on completing and sending packages out before I leave for Hawaii in a couple of weeks. I will post pics of that stuff after I come back from vacation :-) don't want to spoil the surprise for my fellow swappers !

I went camping at Rock Hound State Park, near Deming, NM over Labor Day weekend. Did hiking/rockhounding with my parents. It was beautiful and a lot of fun, here are a few pics I took while experimenting with my new camera.

Anywho................better get back to crocheting for my Secret Pals while my 63 squares mock me from the corner of my bedroom, while I ever complete that darn thing? Only time will tell LOL!
