The WUA Contest
OK. I know I need more help. In order to solicit help, I have decided to make a contest. From inception until March 30th, everyone who donates swatches or yarn will have a chance to win some fabulous yarn from my stash. I promise it won't be leftover acrylic yarn from the project! I'm planning on donating the first few blankets to the WYWL's Warm Up America project. I am also working out details to donate other blankets to a special charity in my home town... but more about that later.
If you want to knit or crochet 7x9 swatches to match the current blankets, I'm hoping to make 4 blankets (at least). So far I have begun swatches or have yarn that could be used to make a blanket in these colors:
- Green, Purple, Blue - for some reason this is my color predilection
- Red and White - Always a winning combination
- Black and Brown - bold tones
- Miscellaneous colors - use every swatch you receive
- Black and Gold - Go Iowa Hawkeyes!
- Pink, Orange, Red, Hot Pink and Lilac - in honor of my sister Teresa's cool 1970s bedroom. GROOVY!
- Purple, Lilac, Lavendar, Periwinkle - in honor of my mother - for Marienne Manor
- Peach, orange, rust, tan
It might make sense to make swatches in colors that would work with the above themes. Of course, anything goes with them number four, right?
If you'd like to help out, please send me an email or surprise me.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
