Dish Rag Tag: the Sequel sign-ups are officially closed at 289. Follow Yarn Miracle to stay current on Tag related events including next year’s race.

I’d like to sign up but I’m going to be away on vacation for part of August. Do you think that would be something we could work around?
Absolutely! Keep in touch with your team mates through the forums and you can let them know that you shouldn’t be tagged while you are out of town.

Does this involve special computer skills in anyway?
Nope! If you can send email, blog or shop online you can do this.

How are teams getting assigned?
The Miracle Household will be assigning teams – I want as evenly matched a race (geography wise) as possible.

Do we leave all the dishrags and treats in the box as it goes along? That would get very heavy after a while…
When you receive the box, you take everything out of it, keep the treat, and the finished dish rag. Make your dishrag and put it, a new ball of cotton and a treat back into the box to send it on. Pick your treat carefully to keep you box less than a pound.

Why do we have to use priority mail?
Basically to to keep the playing field even. By ensuring the same shipping speed for everyone (and the same inconvenience of a trip to the post office) this race is a more true contest of speed and organization. Team work will win the day!

Why aren’t you having the team captains start the boxes?
Because it is more fair to have them all originate from one place. Everything will be mailed at exactly the same time and return to exactly the same place. There is no room for ambiguity, no accusations of unfairness etc.

Where do I send it after I get it? To the team captain or what?
The box is going to leave my house and travel through each team member once and then back to me. There is no set order for who is tagged next. Your team should communicate in the forum to decide where to send it. Strategy making is encouraged: get out your maps and plot the quickest course around the country, figure out who is out of town when and work together to achieve Dish Rag Tag Glory!

How much of my personal information is going to be out there for all the world to see?
Not much! When I post the teams, the list will be your first name (which will link to your blog if you have one) and your state. The only people who will see your full name and address are the Miracle Household and whoever is mailing the box to you. You do have to consent to share your email address with your team captain and team captains have to consent to share their email address with their team.
