NASCAR Knitting 2007

With NASCAR Nextel Cup in full swing at the Daytona 500, I finally found a way to put racing and knitting together. Inspired by the Sock Madness Tournament, speed will be the factor in determining a destashing win.

  • Whatever miles are raced in Nextel Cup that week, so is the goal of the equivalent number of grams be used before the next race. (Daytona 500 = 500 grams)
  • By “used” I mean knitting, crocheting, selling, and gifting (Swaps are our friends!). These “miles/grams” are also points towards prizes.
  • Throughout the racing season, there will be bonus points given to each completed project applicable in size/weight/complexity. (a finished “Forest Path Stole” is greater than a full-sized Clapotis which is more than the “My So-Called Scarf” project.
  • Also due to the allowance of other De-stash KALs to get more yarn, no penalties will be given if yarn is acquired at any time.
  • Sporadically, prizes will be awarded to those with the highest point count. That means GIVE-AWAYS!!

Now, anyone ready to go RAY-cin???
