Hello everyone.

I wasn't feeling well at all today (still down for the count). Just got the Milk Drinker to sleep and I want to head to bed soon too. I've been working on a crocheted Afghan for my sister. I gave my other sister one when she got married. This sister seems like she is in a really serious relationship for the first time. Most of her relationships didn't last 2-3 months or even made the "take a cutesy couple pic for FB" stage. She, like me, has a low tolerance for bull tater. So, since my time is now more limited, I started on an afghan for her, even though it isn't "official" yet. I started yesterday and I'm 5 squares in, only 31 more to go. I'm going faster than I thought I would. I'm going to edge these squares (which are Taupe) in a border of Kelly Green. The squares will be about 13" wide when I'm done with the border. I wasn't sure which colors she would like, so I sent her the Joann Fabrics link to the yarn I use and asked her to pick 2 colors. She requested that I make her one someday (even if she didn't get married :) ) when she saw the one I made for my other sister.

This is the one I made for my other sister. It is hard to see, but it is ivory with a pale green borders. It is the same pattern. I looked for a new pattern for the one I'm making now, but I really like how easy this one square is to make. The cat belongs to the sister who has the first afghan, his name is Gus.

Terribly sorry you're feeling down. I can empathize sweet Rae. It's wonderful that you are crocheting an afghan for your 2nd sister... sooo, mine should be coming soon?!? :D I await the link to the yarn colors with baited breath!!!

Smuvers, try garage sales, thrift stores and goodwill. You may not find in bulk, but you may find cheap. Otherwise, try bulk food stores and online. Wal-Mart has them, along with places like Kroger and probably Piggly Wiggley and other grocery stores, but are more than likely more expensive. (Yes, I just revealed my Midwest upbringing with those two grocery stores :barnie:th)

We have a Piggly Wiggly *near* us.... and I think we've gone to it twice..... it was NOT my cup of tea.... actually, it was pretty gross..... and just never gonna go again.

After doing quite a bit of comparison shopping, I ordered 12 cases of jars from Wally World. They were the cheapest, and free shipping. If I am out and about and see jars for less than, say, .50¢ each, I'd likely buy them... but I have seen them priced at closer to a buck to a buck fifty per, and that's just not gonna happen. :eek:
