National Knitting Month

Well - it is almost here - National Knitting Month and to celebrate I have been lured into the game of NaKnitMo. What is NaKnitMo you ask? It is a challenge like none I have ever faced before. Each registered knitter keeps count of every stitch knit from Midnight on October 31st to Midnight on November 30th - the stats will be posted daily. Base goal that all knitters must surpass is 30,000 stitches for the month to qualify for a chance at any of the prizing.

All competitors are tuning up their math skills, calculators beside each chair, awaiting the midnight hour!

I decided that in a math warm up I would do a 6 day stitch count beginning October 26.

STITCH TOTAL: 12,731

October 29


October 28
pattern stitch hat - class sample - 3,195

Leg warmer - Class sample - 3,200

October 26 -

9 rows of the brown sweater @ 92 stitches per row = 828

22 rows of the class sample cowl @ 100 stitches per row - 2200 stitches


So check back often as I will be posting my progress here regularly as well as the stats for the other competitors.
