My Grandfather passed away on October 6, 2006 and my Grandmother is having a really hard time, they were married for 65 years. She's just not sure what to do with herself, she's taken care of Grandpa for so long, he's been sick since I was about 10 years old, so for over 27 years. I would like to make her a comfortghan as I think it would mean a lot to her and give her some comfort.
Her favorite crochet pattern is the Pineapple so I found this pattern
http://pandacrochet.8m.com/pandapineapple.html
I thought, that we could use this pattern to make the 12 inch squares. Her house is done in pastels, so I'm asking that the squares be done in a variety of pastel shades (worsted weight yarn). I'll put it all together using white yarn. If you want to help out on this comfortghan, PM me and I'll send you my mailing address.
Thank you so much!
EDIT:
I'm not planning on starting the afghan until after the 1st of the year, how about we say the squares come in by the end of January. You can use other 12 inch square patters, I just ask that they all are made with 1 solid color.

I'm like Alisha. I can help, I'm just under a REALLY tight schedule right now trying to wrap up gifts for Christmas. I'm afraid I've taken on more than I can possibly finish, but I'm working on them as fast as I can!
If you've got an open ended time frame, I can whip up a couple of these after Christmas.
Let me know! |

I'll also post this as an edit to my original post. |

Since you don't need this till January I can do 2 squares for you.
Even though that square does require concentration,
I still love that pattern.
That's one of the squares I made for you!  |
