The Moody Octopus Q&A

Over the past week I have an enormously positive response to The Moody Octopus Project!

I would like a minimum of 100 pieces, this would make each leg around 1.5 metres long! If you are joining us & taking part let me know so I can say Hi, thanks & have a rough estimate of how many people are involved so far.

I have also had a lot of questions which is my bad for lacking clear explanation, so I thought I'd post them here:

* If you are knitting your pieces it does not matter if you use garter stitch or stockinette stitch as long as it is on 4mm needles. Personally I have used stockinette stitch.

* It does have to be double crochet (dc in UK terminology) or single crochet (sc in USA terminology) in crochet pieces for equal sizing purposes.

* Please weave in your ends - we wont have the time with sewing all the pieces together to sew in all the ends. Sorry I know its a pain!

* You can interpret the colour chart for your own moods no problem! Sad to say but only you will know what piece is yours once the Octopus is completed.

* I cannot return pieces once they have been submitted. Its just not fess-able due to the anonymity of the project.

* I cannot provide yarn.

* If you want to do the project for more than one week that is fine & you do not need to cast off after 7 days.

* Postal deadline is Friday 24th June

* Hand delivered deadline is the 25th June but you will need to deliver them to Girl On Purl Action table at The MakeFest at Liverpool Central Library

* I cannot collect pieces personally or cover postage costs.
