Essentially, this is a collaborative project... they are planning to deck out the inside of a gallery so that it looks and feels like you are inside a milkweed pod. Shan is calling for knitters and crocheters from all over the world, to make a piece and send it to her... and she will be assembling them all as a part of the exhibit.
If you feel at all inspired to join in - GO FOR IT! It's a wonderful opportunity to play randomly with some yarn... you can't go wrong... seriously! Just have a play and see what you can come up with. You can drop stitches, the edges can be wavy, nothing is a MISTAKE!
I have to say a big thank you to Sam... who read about me having lost my mojo, and suggested this project as a way of helping me get back on track. Much appreciated.
I've decided to use this yarn, which I won in a competition last year. It is soft and fluffy with a little bit of sparkle... should be perfect! I think I'll work it up with my 20.0mm hook

Can't wait to see what you come up with. I have lots of ideas buzzing in my head myself. It's a good chance to experiment, without worrying about the end result :-))
hmm, i thought it was supposed to be white yarn? i was thinking about doing it, but now i'm a bit confused. :) thanks, and i love your blog!
Oooh, the yarn is so beautiful! Must go check out the project. Thanks
I looked at the project and it is really interesting, but, yes, isn't the yarn supposed to be white or off-white? And isn't the yarn you won in that competition off-white colour?
sam - thanks again!
lauren k - hmmm... now I'm confused too... this IS white yarn... very white, very fluffy, has some faint silver threads running through it... you should definitely join in :)
lisab - join us... JOIN US!!!
misha - yes... the yarn is a white colour... just wondering what colour it looks like to everyone else?
it looks like blue on this picture... when i went to the site i almost wanted to warn you that you should use white:-)
Hi! Thanks for the link to The Milkweed Project. I'm always amazed at how different color looks on different monitors. The yarn as you describe it sounds perfect!
