My One Million Stitch Quest

Yes, you are reading that right.  One of my goals for 2010 is to craft one million stitches.  I can either knit, crochet or tat the stitches.  No sewing allowed.

One million stitches per year breaks down like this:
83,333 stitches per month
20,833 stitches per week
2,976 stitches per day

I know, I am totally crazy right.  Well, I am not the only person crazy enough to do this.  There is an entire group on Ravelry called naknitmo where a whole bunch of us are planning to make the quest.

So now the question becomes:   How am I doing?

Answer:  Not so hot...  As of Sunday night, I am 18,566 stitches less than I should have knit from Jan 1 to yesterday. 

To put things into perspective:  one day of knitting is worth

3/4 of a convertible mitten

about 18 tatted butterflies

8.5 rows on a lap robe my grandmother didn't finish crocheting

(picture to come later)

Each of these things takes about 3 hours of crafting a day, at least.  It depends on the difficulty of the pattern.  While I will probably never make this goal, I know that I will fail to achieve 100% of the goals I never set.  So for me, I am going to try this year and see how far I can go.

Wish me luck.....

See you on the flip side!
