I'll have a picture for you tomorrow, but in the month of June I have bordered 100 daisies.
A few posts back I described the method I've been using this month to both use up some stash and get some daisies ready to go...
I'm going to keep on going with bordering these daisies for a while longer and then I'll start seaming!
What fun!

Special Delivery!
Today I took four of the daisy afghans to Roswell Park Cancer Institute!

I am always astounded on how unenthusiastic some of the groups receiving these afghans can be... however, I know the patients will love it!

The Task At Hand....
I have a LOT of yarn. Mind you, it is not TOO MUCH, but I do have a fair sum. To be honest, I don't believe a person could have too much, but that's just me.
A lot of my yarn is donated to me - family, friends, strangers, freecycle, Craig's List.... I never give up the opportunity to accept yarn. I always have a use for it bordering the daisies.
I'm trying to stashbust and work daisies at the same time, so I've got my closet all organized with my yarn. First, I'm using the smallest balls of yarn I have up (I call them golf balls). If there's any left that's not big enough to border a daisy, it's going into one of two ziploc bags - those are going to be made into scarves that are knit using the Mindless Afghan method.
I simply grab the next smallest ball of yarn, grab a daisy that matches and off I go....
At some point, I'll sort out daisies by what matches what and assemble. We'll see how it goes!
