I told my 79-year-old very active Mom about the squares yesterday at lunch, and after dinner she called to say she had already done two and a half squares! Isn't that great? ;D

Fairs fair ladies The hats and vests in brackets are included in the main number. So for example 8 (1 hat ) means 8 items of which one is a hat. Just so you know its not 8 squares PLUS 1 hat. Well done ladies! That's 53 items in just under 3 days!

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 )

Hi Kerry - I thought the idea great re April Race. I'm still not too familiar with the site so will keep to 8 squares a week! (retired!!) Is this worth suggesting to Sandy who must be so busy! With the small bit of wool left over - help the little kids to make collages with them? Hair etc or pretty rainbows? I did this at nursery ages ago & the children liked doing it. Flour glue would do & any scrap of paper. One other ? - am I right in recalling Sandy said there was a tax on incoming materials etc to S.A. ? B W Lola/ Pam (Oxon)

The lovely ladies are already keeping all the left over scraps to try and tech the children to knit/crochet as a useful life skill! Also I believe the idea was to provide each child that gets a blanket with a small amount of yarn to repair their blanket if needs be in the future!

Hi Kerry--My mom wants to join the April race on her own--she just completed two more squares, for a total of 4. Can you change your spreadsheet listing from "Dochas22's Mum" to "bev"? She's just joining as a new member. My younger sister's name is Kerry, too.

Oops, somehow I am logged on as my mom (bev) instead of me (Dochas22). That's okay, I will log off here and she can log on her own computer where she lives in Kingston, New York. We often share things--we were both born on August 22!

You guys are awesome! I've finished two squares and I'm on to a third.
Paulette when you are logged in properly to the forum it should have your name and not "guest"? Make sure that you login at the top of the page just under the knit a square logo and hopefully that should resolve your issue. I'm pretty new to the forum as well so that the only thing that I can think of. Hope it helps!
Well done everyone I'm so impressed!
