sorry to spread this around so much, but April is coming in just one week! while I'm putting this up here, lets keep the actual thread in the chat section, that's where it started already.
(Already posted this in the central chat, but I'm going to put it up in other places as well so that it reaches the most people.)
How about a race?
I propose this - for the month of April, knit as many squares as you can. post pictures of your squares so we know they are all accounted for. Remember that if 40 people knit a square a day, we can make a blanket every single day.

Righto ladies! I’ve decided to do what I do best and make a spreadsheet! Since this April Race is being talked about in various places (Ravelry, the forum & facebook) I’m going to keep a check on all three & every time someone posts an update number I will pop it in my spreadsheet! I’ll then do updates to each place giving leaders boards! So ladies! After a day of manic stitching how have we done? I personally am at 1 (stupid working )

Ok Ladies as of 7.30pm GMT 2/4/09 my leader board is...
Mbreeding Forum 2 (3 hats) Paulette Pronk Forum 4 Kerry Paris Forum 4 Jeanne Forum 3 Zanny Facebook 2 Ruth Ravelry 2 Vortex12 & Grandma! Forum 2 Andrea Forum 2 Erin Forum 1 Kokkole Ravelry 1 Michelle Gibson Facebook 1 Dumelaisuzu Ravelry 1
No particular order within each number (as in all the 2's are just the order that they got included in). I've included hats as counting as a square each because they are just as hard if not harder to make! Hope you all don't mind! I've also included where I saw each person & there number!
Hurrah ladies a great start! 28 items done already and we are only on the second day!
