5K Stash Dash 2011

The The Knit Girllls are having a yarn stash down on Ravelry. It started May 28^th and ends August 15^th.The goal is to knit, crochet, weaving, and/spin a total of 5K (5,468 yards). Guidelines for the Stash Down can be found here.

I've already finished a few smaller projects and posted them. I decided to try to crochet a Granny square blanket to use up some of my Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

I've finished 8 squares. I'm planning on making 20 blocks. Each square is approximately 190 yds. 

20sq. X 190yds = 3,800 yds. If I can manage to finish the blanket it will be one less Christmas gift to make. I'd like to make another one with smaller squares using plain colored yarn.

Maine Fiber Frolic

Thunder, Hail, and Rain...O, My!

Say what you will about Maine. Our long dark winters and freezing snow storms are legendary. As much as I sometime hate snow I'd rather live in Maine than anywhere else in the US.

Wednesday was not a good day for Maine. We have had a Tornado Warning, inch sized hail and severe thunder storms.
