Simply Soft Squares

Here's my contribution to the April contest - 20 Simply Soft squares.
I will mail these (along with the 13 squares I made last month that have already been counted) to Robyn tomorrow morning.

(I know this isn't completely relevant to this group, but I thought some of you might be interested to know that I used 1,169 yards of Simply Soft making these squares!)

Also, I remembered that I never did post this hat and pair of mittens that I finished earlier this month. I actually finished them up because they are made of Simply Soft, and I wanted the remainders of each skein for squares.
So these 2 don't count towards the contest but do count toward our total. I will probably send these along for HMPCWD in June.

I also wanted to add that I really enjoyed the contest this month. Being on a team really helped keep me focused and motivated, especially knowing that my teammates were counting on me. Maybe could we do this again in the future?

Caron Square contest

Hello All,

I went back and looked at the about.com link regarding the Caron Contest as well as this link here:

http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67431

It does specify in both places that the squares for the contest need to be made out of simply soft yarn -- it's a self-promotion thing for them so I guess that makes sense.

Any squares that have been submitted that were not made out of simply soft can go either to our own crazigriffen for one of our own WUA blankets or they can be submitted directly to Warm Up America.

Thanks!

Caron Square contest - clarification needed

Hey all,

I think there might be some confusion about the Caron Square contest...maybe just in my own head.

Although squares for Warm Up American can be in any kind of yarn, it was my understanding that squares going to the Caron "Warm up the world" contest have to be made with Caron brand yarn...maybe even specifically "simply soft" yarn.

Is this a fact?

Someone help! :)
