READY STEADY GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Apparently there is this thing called Stash Dash. It happens every year. In fact, it's been happening for the last SIX and I didn't know about it... I'm surprised too given (apparently) most of the knitting podcasts I follow have been participating for most of this time.
What is it, you say?
Stash Dash is an annual virtual do-along challenge to use up one's stash and clear out your WiPs. It was dreamed up by the KnitGirllls Official dates for this year are 25 May (12:01am EST) to 27 August (11:59pm EST).
See here for the full explanation and FAQs. Also, check out the KnitGirlls Podcast on Youtube, they are a hoot.
I'm signed up for the 15k+ challenge. Yes I realise that is 15 000 meters of yarn. I wish I could say I thought this was a lot, but I'm having a hard time getting my brain to agree. I am aware that 15 kilometres is about as far as my home to the city centre. Or between the Fremont Troll in Seattle to Bothell (a subrurb just north of Seattle centre where I lived for a short time). Or only a little longer than the Bondi<>Coogee Walk. The trouble is I often walk this far in a day, so my brain is insisting this isn't a big deal.
It would probably be easier to sell the enormity of 15 000 meters of yarn to Brain if I hadn't already managed to rack up 4.165km since signing up two-ish weeks ago. Don't believe me? Here's the tally
* Plain & simple cardi (yarn held double) 2k
* SciFi Socks (colourwork) = 500m
* Red/Black Mukluks = 475m
* White/Bronze & Purple/White mukluks = 600m (together)
* hawaiian shirt socks (265m)
* Fraternal twin socks (325m)
Hoo-rah! I am fearless! I am invincible! I am capable of doing anything with yarn! I might be needing some tiger balm in the end... Who cares? I've got 5 years worth of dashes to make up for.
Also, next month is Tour de Fleece, and spinning counts!
Enjoying the blog?
It takes a lot of caffeine and yarn to make this happen! ;)
