The squares will be joined and afghans given to one of 3 charities, based on completed size, color, and need at the time.

**Remember to work in a tail of at least 5 inches before cutting yarn when you change or add yarn. Always work in all ENDS, except the last and final tail. Leave at least a 5 inch tail**
The afghans assembled from your donated squares will be donated to: Faith Mission, Homeless Families Foundation, and our Friends at Pine Street Inn.**CURRENTLY OUR FOCUS IS THE HOMELESS FAMILIES FOUNDATION FOR HOUSE WARMING GIFTS AS THEIR TRANSITION FROM TEMPORARY HOUSING TO PERMANENT HOUSING.
Hats, Mittens, scarves, and slippers of course are still are primary mission. However, I thought it appropriate to stretch ourselves a bit with this call for squares.
Have added a badge to the sidebar using above logo/avatar of squares should you wish to post with link on your blog.
Leave tail at the end, but if you're changing colors work in your other tails. DO NOT TIE AND CUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE KNOT, THAT IS GUARANTEED TO COME UNDONE. Knot if you want, but leave a tail and work in your ends.
