Hokie Healing

I'm sure y'all have already read about this, but just in case...I thought I'd mention it. Basically the deal is that this yarn shop in Blacksburg, VA is collecting 8x8 squares to assemble blankets for the families of the Virginia Tech victims. Since the only thing I'm even close to proficient at is a whole mess of garter stitch, I figured it's be a good way to practice and do something nice all at the same time. I can practice cables or attempt to do non-retarded ribbing. Woohoo! The full details can be found here. They specifically requested the school's colors of course which include maroon, burnt orange, white, black or any combination of these. I guess that means I have to buy more yarn...gee...DARN!
