Sheri wrote in her blog about Homemade Afghans Project (HAP)
HAP web address: Rectangle6x9.org. HAP is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comfort to Americaβs military men and women wounded in service to our country. If you want to read more about HAP, you can at Rectangle6x9.org. If you cannot crochet or knit, you can still help by donating suppies to HAP. The supply list is at their website, it is titled, Wish List.
I cleared my dy workday and worked on two rectangles. I drew a 9 x 6 rectangle in my dy workbook and measured the crochet in progress by that rectangle frequently. I was a little rusty, but I managed to get two rectangles crocheted today.
Thank you Sheri for informing us about HAP.
EDIT: The HAP website seems to be missing.

You crochet too?!?!?!?!?
Is there anything that you can not/do not do???

That’s a neat idea to make a template in your DY workbook. I have yarn hanging around, so I am going to give this a go. Mind if I copy your rectangle. π

Hi Donna, I plan on teaching the boys how to knit so that we will be making some squares as well. However they also want to make an afghan for them. π We’ll see how long that lasts….. π I like for my kids to learn many different arts, I even taught my oldest son how to cross stitch. I still have the 3 projects he made for me.
Donna Young says
Feel free, Applie.
Chocolatechic, there are many things I cannot do. Back-flips for instance, I can’t do those. π

Michielle, teaching children textile arts really does have sweet rewards, doesn’t it. Not just that they are learning something useful, but I’m also thinking of the projects that they make and moms sometimes get to keep.
Sheri says
π You’re most welcome and I see you didn’t waste any time.
Melanie says
Great minds think alike – I drew a template in my ds notebook. π I can’t do backflips, either. Tried once, but it didn’t turn out so well. π₯
Appliejuice says
Donna, like your new blog. π I haven’t done any squares yet. I am still working on my sister’s quilted block square and other things.

Donna, I was wondering if you could email me privately I have a question about one of your forms. I hated to bother you here but couldn’t find anywhere to ask the question from your website.
Thank you
Jeannie

Okay Donna—Jumpin aboard with the 6×9 squares!! What a neat idea!!!
This is probably a dumb question but what do you have in your DY notebook??? Looks like a composition book from the picture, would love to hear your ideas.
Thanks Tonya
PS. Where would I be without all your help!!! Thanks again.
Donna Young says
Hi Tonya,
The DY notebook is an ordinary composition book. I’m using it to keep track of re-doing donnayoung.org. π

Donna,
I just saw this. I’m not getting your blog in my blog surfer thingy :embarrass:
This is so you π
I’m crocheting them by the directions and if they don’t look even I stretch the out to the same size :blush: You are so precise like that is an awesome idea.
