I made up a few squares for Sue's Sunshine International Blankets of Love (aka; SIBOL). These are for the Watermelon Challenge. I just used watermelon inspired colors with yarn I had on hand and tried to coordinate them somewhat.
These are a mix of different yarns such as RHSS and ILTY. I thought the variegated looked kinda cool on this one.
I made two of these...
and the last one to coordinate.
The first is a basic granny and the others I just improvised starting with a "saltine" and going from there.
If you are interested in making a few squares for Sue, her challenges for 2011 can be found HERE.
These are all packaged up and ready to go. I just need to get to the post office.
Hope you've had a great Monday and a terrific start to your week!

They definitely put me in the mood for watermelon--great colors!
ReplyDeleteI love those colors together!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, loving the whole watermelon idea! Makes my mouth water just thinking of it. I love watermelon, and I love the idea of a watermelon afghan.
ReplyDeleteHeather, these are so pretty. Your stitches so perfect. What a lovely thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I'll have to check out Sue's challenges and see what I can do. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Heather, your squares are great, and for a wonderful cause! I love all the blankets that Sue puts together and am always amazed at the creativity of crocheters out there. I thought saltines were crackers! Ha! I've never heard of that term before. I am such a novice! Have a terrific Tuesday. Tammy

Oh! They do look like watermelon!
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving your nice comments. Will get these in the mail by the end of the week Sue.
ReplyDeleteTammy, I could be wrong on the saltine term, I'll have to look into that further. :-)
Oh, so very pretty, Heather! And I agree - that variegated looks so pretty in there. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
