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 )

Wow what a turnout!
Hey Paulette, welcome to the race! there's no special joining up information or tricks, if you say "I'm in,' then you're in. Its just a way to ask people to push themselves for a short amount of time and see what they can do!

Hi there from Virginia! I have 2 squares done and 3 hats, going to keep on working!!!! Do you want pictures before we mail them? What all has to be on the package again? Acrylic or wool ? and what else?
Having fun and I got my husband working on some and got someone in Germany working on some as well as possibly our church prayer shawl ministry.
Have a great night, Michelle

It would be nice if we could get pictures of them all, but I don't know if many people will have digital camera's to do so. So I guess yes if you can take pictures do, if not don't worry. I'm taking everyone's word for it since this is just a bit of fun If you label the items as to if they are wool or acrylic that will help. Or if all your items are of a certain type you can just write that on the outside of the envelope.

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!

I have so many piles that my cat has adopted them all as being his various beds.
I have so much yarn that's been donated to me from friends/family/strangers from freecycle.org, that I've started to give skeins of it away to people I know who are also knitting squares - I figure I can't knit it all up as fast as its coming in, and if the aim is to get it knitted up why not get other people to help out?
