FRIENDSHIP AFGHAN SWAP R1

I love bright, warm colours ie. reds, hot pink, orange, earthy green. Thanks!

I am currently going through a light pink and brown phase. I also like bright happy colors. : )

I like yellows, oranges, peaches, and white.

As far as yarn, I'm not wealthy, so I tend to like to use the cheaper yarns (acrylic), especially the softer ones, or yarn I get at goodwill (usually unmarked) if the person has no allergies and a material isn't specified in the swap. Will this be ok? Still new to crocheting (don't knit yet), so I'm not as knowledgeable about yarn yet.

I would like my squares to be made in any colors except orange, lime, blue or black. I like a variety of colors and especially love varigated. But please make my squares in any colors except these 4 colors if at all possible:))

I did one of these a while ago. It was alot of fun. I bordered all the squares I received with a dark gray before putting them together, it made each square stand out, and the finished afghan looks great. Any color is fine by me, but if you need a specifics, check out my profile it lists my favorites, and not so favorites there. Thanks!

I'd be happy with pretty much any colour -- maybe not neons, but anything else is fine. :-) My profile has details, if you'd like.

I really like purples and greens...I am currently putting together a bed quilt in these colors and would love a blanket to match to put on the foot of the bed :)

perfect, right i like any colours, brighter the better :)

i LOVE pink ... having an pink afghan in all different shades of pink would be awesome!! :D

What a wonderful idea! I have been wanting to knit an afghan, but don't have the attention for it. This is a great way of knitting one without knitting one!

Colors... this will be for my future bedroom (once DF and I get hitched), so I would like earthy tones. Greens, rust, tans, darker blues, etc. Toned down colors.

I would love any colors.

I love bright colors and I'de love to do an afgan on yellow, orange and red, if you can´t find this colors, can be white.

I prefer solid colors here. :)

I would like blocks in Green, Yellow, and Purple. I have always wanted to try the binary colors! Can't wait to get started!

Hello Bettflow!

I'm all signed up. Do I put my color preferences here? I'm assuming I do, because I see everyone else's...

I like any colors at all. My house is very eclectic, so anything will fit in. Please feel free to use your scraps!

Hello All,

I prefer greens, purples and blues in a soft yarn. Acrylic is fine as long as it is the soft stuff. I actually have a fav. Don't have it on me now..just pm me.

I would love any colors but pinks and pastel colors. I will be making a blanket for my little boy, so anything you think a little boy would like. He's one year old, so he doesn't really have favorite colors, but nothing "girly" please.

I love this idea! My fave colors are reddish wine colors like burgandy. I also love sage green. My house is done in a Italian vineyard decor. I have a lot of rich colors in my home so warm, rich colors would be awesome!

I'm open to any color of the rainbow! I think it would be fun to have an afghan that is a hodge podge of colors!

I would like to make an afghan in pinks and purples. :-)

I would love to have my afghan blue.

Hi, I am into pinks. But would love to do a scrappy afghan. Is it possible that I have only crocheting partners? I love granny squares.

I would prefer blues, grrens and purples and black but no white or yellow if possible.

And just to confirm that it is worsted/aran weight yarn we are using?

I would love fall colors and earth tones (green, brown, tan, gold, burnt orange, maple leaf red, etc.). Nothing to bright or loud, please!

To start I would like to say hello to everyone and how happy I am to be here!

The type of yarn that I would like is something bright blue and white.

Love this swap! I would like earth tones Thanks! :)

I'd love something totally girlie. I'm thinking any shade of peach... Peaches and cream... Thank you!!!

This sounds fun! I would love mine to be in ocean-y shades. Like beach glass, sand, water, sky - more natural colors and not really bright. Thank you!!! :)

Hmmm. Please include pink in that mix - purple/blue/pink + cream/white - I really cannot leave pink out of anything!!!!

I really do love all colours, each room in my house is being painted a different colour!!!! But i will try a colour them here!

this sounds like it will be a wonderful swap!

Okay, how specific are the square sizes? I made my first square and it's about 7" by 7". Is that okay (should I ask my swapper if they care)? I started on a newer, smaller square, so the rest should be the right size, but I do like that big one.

I am more than fine with acrylic, as it makes the afghan washable at the end. I'm going to be using Vanna's Choice Yarn http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/vannasChoice.html

It's acrylic, but with a nice soft feel to it, and a load of different colours, so I should be able to match up with any partner's likes - that's the plan anyway!

I like jewel tones, not pastels, and not the neons. The colours you see in Amish quilts, rich reds and greens and blues and purples, those sorts of colours.

I love most colors when combined appealingly. My favorite color combination (at the moment) is chocolately brown, light blue, and cream/off-white. Or even some muted colors that would go with that color combo.

This sounds like fun! I have been contemplating making an afghan in shades of blacks, grays & white. This swap sounds like a perfect time to start it.

I would love different types of blue: dark, light, medium, whatever as long as it's blue. I LOVE THIS SWAP!!!!!!!!!

This sounds like a lot of fun,,,,pink and brown for me. Thanks

I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE WE MADE THE TOP 10!!!

Well, looks like we lost out a little while ago, lol. Oh well....was nice while it lasted, lol.

I'm thinking blues, maybe verging into soft purples.

What a fun swap!

I am feeling very neapolitan ice cream. I'd LOVE to have mine done in chocolate brown, strawberry ice cream pink and vanilla creamy white. Mmm. :)

I would love a Black and white afghan. My room is a grey blue and i think black and white would look great on my blue beadspread. Plus Black and white would still work if i paint my room another color which i am fond of doing often. I can't wait to get started.

I want mine to be vibrant and wild, kind of like a crazy quilt.

earth colors please

I just want bright,rainbow colors.

hello, no neons or brights please...rosé, brown, beige, lind, sage, off-white, tan would be great

hi! I have super ecclectic taste, so everything goes! but I'd prefer no pastels please

wow there is a super lot of swappers in this one. I have already made two squares, i am having so much fun.

Jewel tones for me please.

Jewel tones for me please.

i posted mine on saturday to

kgeslab

Yay!

I owe everyone here an apology!!! I am so sorry that I felt the need to cancel the future rounds of the granny square swap. I am so overwhelmed with some family issues that going on and am trying really hard to get all my swaps taken care of that I am currently in and then will be taking a break and won't be doing as much swapping as I have been in the past. Thankyou Angel SOOOOO MUCH for offering to keep the swaps goingt:)) I'm sure everyone here appreciates you helping out with this:)))You ARE an ANGEL!!! Oh, btw....I am working on finishing up my squares for this round and will have them mailed out by the deadline:) Hugs to everyone, Betty

Thank you Betty and Angel

I received from craftcrazy.

And, tomorrow, my squares are going out to kgeslab and lashelle.

Thanks all!

Hello swappers:))

How are ya'll coming on your squares??? I see that there are quite a few that haven't got their squares mailed yet, so thought I would help ya'll out a little bit since the deadline was originally only 2 days away. The deadline to have your squares mailed has been changed to Aug 15. But, if your squares are not in the mail by this date, you will be considered late and stand the chance of receiving negavite feeback from your partner.
Hope ya'll are enjoying the swap:))) Hugs, Betty

Oh dear, I forgot to put my color choices in! I received my first set of lovely squares, variegated blues with pinks in the mix. I'm going to go with blues and pinks. Thanks! To my other partner, if you've already made me squares, and they're not blue or pink, no worries! I can work with anything!
