I'm thinking of trying a Go-over, but I can only do it in red and the mourning color in SA is red. Is that okay?

Thanks everyone! I have to apologize because I haven't been on here for a while (I just found out today that I got the Square Heart). I'm over elated, but bad at the same time because the square heart recipient himself hasn't been on the site for a long time! :( In my defense, I've been busy with school and also helping out Zooniverse and the World Archives Project, but still... (Oh, and about our Knit-A-Square Club at school, we have about 3-4 regular members (not counting me) with a couple of people here and there popping in every now and then.) Thanks everyone for the nice comments. :)

Andrea Palmatier said… Hi Dawson! I was wondering if you're still looking for yarn. I didn't make it to the US at Christmas but have a trip schedule for January 20. If you're still interested, please message me your address and I'll send it off when I "cross over".
Andrea :o)

Barbara Hawkins said… Hi Dawson,
Thanks for all the time you spent on your reply. It's so refreshing to hear a young person with such ambition.
I did have problems with leaving comments for people however I now go to the members sight and use the search to find the person I'm looking for, this then enables me to leave a comment.
Hope you can follow that, if not just let me know.
Happy days, Barbara x

HI Dawson,
Well done on your exam results, they look very impressive. Love your squares by the way and so many patterns, excellent.
Happy days, Barbara x

Donna Radu said… - Hey, Dawson: Using acrylic yarn means the blankets made from your squares will be washable. Sometimes I wonder what happens to our blankets a year or two down the pike... As a mom, I know blankets, especially well-loved ones, can get dirty. And acrylic ones will wash without shrinking and dry quickly, so that's one big advantage to your choice!

I'll leave this as a comment for you here, in case you don't look at the picture again =): Most of the wool yarn came from sweaters that I, or my husband, took apart. I wrote my tips here: http://square-circle-forum.ning.com/forum/topics/cheap-wool-and-cotton-yarn I have decided, since I wrote that, not to use the cotton yarn for KAS since it absorbs so much water. But it is still a great way to get wool yarn! It sounds like a lot of work to take the sweaters apart, but it gets to be rather addicting, as my husband found out when he did some for me =).
