DRT: Get Set

boxes in a line

Labels get printed tomorrow!

You’ve got a Small Flat Rate Box, now you need supplies:

  • Ball of Dish Cloth Cotton – Peaches & Creme, Sugar’n Cream, you know the kind. I had a hard time getting the “super-sized” balls to fit in the box, so you might want to stick with the standard.
  • Knitting needles – I used US 5s, Mom used US 7s – it all depends on how tightly you knit. The finished cloth should be around 7 inches square, beyond that, gauge is not that big of a deal.
  • Small treat for your teammate – the box is small, your treat to pass onto the next knitter will need to be small too!
just one more

One more thing.

Is that another Small Flat Rate box I see? Could there possibly be one more team?

In completely unprecedented circumstances, every single knitter who signed up for Revenge of Dish Rag Tag is present, accounted for and ready to knit. I did not have to call up a single alternate this year.

But I had 12 disappointed alternates.

So I’m making one more team.

Y’all don’t mind a little more friendly competition do you?
