I've officially started. I bought some yarn yesterday with Janey and she became my first crochet student for this project. For anyone interested (pretty much Jean because she asked haha), here are the specs:
- Squares must be 20cm x 20cm, pretty much about 8in x 8in
- Squares must be made of wool because the natural fiber is more flame retardant than acrylic
- 16 squares = one blanket. I was originally aiming to do one blanket, but if I get more help than expected, I could definitely send in more!
- The deadline for the charity is August 30th, which means I need to send it in way before (it's going to Australia). I guess get it to me by mid-month July?
- If you want to help but have no time, I'll gladly accept donations for materials and shipping costs!
Jane learned really quickly and I'm so glad I could ask her to be my experimental student so she could critique my teaching skills. In a way, we're teaching each other. I'll post pictures of the squares I have already. So far, we've got a half one that Jane started, the multi-colored one pictured above, and a stripey one with four solid blocks of color going horizontally. I'm excited for future squares! Oh, and Sir Robin says she'll be contributing one, as well. It's going to be a fun month.
:)
