So I found this cool blog : http://www.shellykang.com/Blog/ ..Shelly over at The Heathen Houswife is making a mitered Blanket out of sock yarn scraps....People from all over the world have sent her scraps for her blanket..and she's started a KAL for it as well.....I got the idea for my blanket from her blog. and I've joined her KAL although I will be CAL mine instead...she's added me to her sidebar....Thank You Shelly!
I really liked the idea of making the blanket out of scrapyarns from people all over the country and all over the world even...how special would a blanket made of those yarns be? with each square having a special history...so I'm imploring all you sock knitters out there if you have any scraps to spare ..could you send me some for my blanket? just e-mail me for my snail mail addy....what I want is leftovers from a project you've finished......natural fibers ,preferably wool blends.. a description or picture of the item you made with the yarn would be a nice addition..I plan to post the name and/or blog of anyone who sends me yarn...just let me know what you do or do not want to me to post...
I'm calling this project The Deployment Blanket......I even have a few ideas to add to this project....I think maybe I'll have a few give aways for those who send yarn? I may even start a whole new blog just for the project? We'll see how it goes....wether I get any response or not...etc..etc..
Oh well...off to make today's square.....
