making knots with sticks
erm... I've not knit any since last may 
5 down.... 59 to go
Was just talking to Eme and Innit about this the other day!
I need more wool. This project is much more stash- (and time!)consuming than I thought...
Got 21 squares at the moment, and half of these are available to swap (I made at least two similar looking ones of each colour combination, one for me and one to swap.
)

That is a lot of squares, and still, as you say, quite a lot left to go.
How do you arrive at the figure of 288 - are you going to make three blankets, 96 squares each? I think I'll be aiming for something like those 96 squares as well - I do want a proper blanket, not just a knee warmer! But that's a long way off yet with the 23 I've got by now...

3 blankets, each 4x6 ft, 1 for each small parasitical lifeform

176 squares.
I took a bunch of pictures of the squares I knit yesterday and i was thinking that the idea of this project would make a good knitting article/pattern on a sustainable living site I go to regularly. I'd like to write it up as a leftovers project (sort of as a use up your stash sort of thing). Now considering it was a group idea, I thought I'd talk to you guys first.

I think it's a great idea toggle
I'm back into knitting squares now, have no other knitting projects started, and no college work... but not going to make the easter craft club for the big square swap
Any chance we can do another swap a few months down the line? Otherwise I'll end up with lots of coasters, or a funny looking scarf

Yes, I reckon we should push the date back by a few months...Considering that not even toggle has her project finished (thanks to the ginormity of her task) and the rest of us are all way behind...if that's okay with everyone.

Are people happy with yarn that is mixture of wool and acrylic? Just realised the most recent lot I got (was on sale
) isn't as soft/nice as the other lot I've been using - but that was left over cashmerino.... all a bit worried that it's not good enough quality now (Everything I'm using is machine washable at 40)
ok, I'll stop worrying then.
