\nSherry at This Eclectic Life has a goal she is trying to reach, and she needs our help. She would like to make an afghan made of crocheted Granny Squares for every child who will be attending Cancer Camp in Ft. Worth, Texas next summer. To accomplish this, she needs thousands of granny squares, and that’s where you come in.
\nWould you click on the button, and go read what she hopes to accomplish and then send her at least one granny square? The squares should be five rounds, six inches, and made of whatever washable yarn you have to donate. Patterns for the squares and instructions for the simple stitches can be found on-line.
\nI’ve asked the members of my exercise class to help, and Elegante Mother’s Empty Nester sewing group. I’ve asked family members to contribute. If you can’t crochet, Sherry will accept a six inch knitted square. If you share the word, then many hands will make the work light.
\nMailing information is given on Sherry’s blog. Perhaps you can spread the word for your contacts and be the collector and mailer of the squares. Our goal is to get them to Sherry in August. She’s received 634 of the 6720 she needs.
\nI have seven made from two kinds of variegated yarn.

\nI hope to make several more in the more traditional pattern with a different color for each round. This type of work is very portable. You can carry it with you and work on it anywhere you have to wait for a bit.
\nWon’t you please help?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
