Some yarn to work on...I'm crocheting some squares to send to Chile to make patchwork blankets. I'm not the fastest person in the world doing this but I do my best :-)
I don't know if you already read my other article about this project? If not take a look here
My first squares!
I'm so happy about the response of some Etsy vendors about this cause. The idea is to make a solidarity blanket which consists in creating a quilt made of 20x20cm (8" x 8" ) squares (that can be crocheted or knitted) utilizing any type of yarn. These squares will then be sewn together to create the blankets. For about a month I was getting the squares. Now they are flying to my country Chile to help the people in need.
My daughter was also exited about this project . She talked at her school about this and a classmate cooperated sending me a square that was made by his grandmother.
I'm still making more and more. It's fun. Relaxes me a lot! :D

I wanted to thank to all the vendors who took the time to make these beautiful squares. And the best way that I could find was just to make a post about it. I think your generosity was amazing! Thank you so much again!
Squares going to Chile! :D

Participating your "charity for Chile" project was a pleasure for me! All the contributions look beautiful! Btw, I hope you like the "Turkish coffee".. Thanks so much :))
Hi Lolo: Lovely post. I don't crochet, but I do knit! If you are still collecting squares, I am happy to whip up several for you. I will need the measurements and any yarn restrictions, etc. I also do a feature on my blog (http://foxygknits.com), Art from the Heart, and I would love to feature you and your project.
You can reach me through my etsy shop: foxygknits.com Regards, Lois

I hope see yours soon....estamos listas para seguir urdiendo.
Un abrazo gigante.
Wonderful job ladies!
What a wonderful idea! I think this speaks so highly of you as a person. When you see that your home country is in need, you take action to help out. I like that about you. I want to learn to crochet soon. Maybe I can send some squares too!
