No danger to us, but a fine start to the season.

I’m still trying to figure out what to do about Dish Rag Tag. Response was enthusiastic but not overwhelming in numbers. It’ll take Michael about 30 hours to remake the application. SO. I am considering the low-tech version I had originally planned all those years ago (team list of addresses enclosed in the box instead of a tracking application) is our best bet for a last DRT hurrah. A small race with three teams (cap of 42 players) makes this doable. If anyone would like to weigh in – I’d appreciate the opinions.

Eyes Have It

There are beads in his tail!

First:
The Fancy version of the Itty Bitty Birdie pattern is almost ready for test knitting (the Plain version is already being tested)! Anybody want to try it? The fancy birds (robin, cardinal and peacock) are more fiddly than the plain ones. (Test Knitters Aquired – thank you. I always say that I’m going to make a test knitter pool, but it’s kind of fun to have volunteers every time.)

Second:
Overwhelming Enthusiasm has carried the day, Dish Rag Tag will happen this year! It will be a scaled back version, but I think that will really be OK. Especially since I realized that with fewer teams, I can knit the starting dish rags! Which means at the end of the race, I will get new dish rags! I really need some so this is working out quite well for me personally.

I’ll tell you about The Plan later, we’re going to the zoo!
