Afghan started

I started an afghan sometime last week for my Lenten charity project. Using the 8 or so skeins of miscellaneous worsted wool yarn of varying colors I have in my stash (this includes: 1/4 skein Noro Kureyon in pink/green/black, 1 skein Red Heart vintage wool in grey, 2 skeins Bernat worsted wool in pink, 1 skein unknown brand red wool, 1 skein Jamieson's wool in green and another in purple, and two skeins unknown brand heathered light purple). This will be quite the afghan, based on my colors. I had acquired the wool from a donation center I volunteer at back home (I'm in college now, so I won't be back there until two weeks from now), so I will therefore be knitting a large afghan for the same charity. I had originally wanted to knit an afghan for Warm Up America, but am not sure if I will make the size requirements. For a 55" x 65" afghan (130 squares), I have 3 knit so far and another aleady on the needles. These are pretty small squares, at 5" each.

How's the Sockrafice going?

Are people making progress on the stash reduction? I have been digging out yarn I knew was in there and knitting it up. A few hats for the local county NICU, and working on a cardi for the baby with the most hideous yarn ever.

Are you trying the sockrafice for the first time like Janet? I know that Janet was having fun figgerin' out socks for the first time, much to our amusement at knitting night.

Are we repenting for our sins at the LYS and other places?
