Ponderings of a Crafty Mind

Written By Lizzy

My offerings today are math questions ~

On a lap blanket there are approximately eighteen thousand three hundred and sixty stitches using over thirty-seven ounces of yarn.  The question is if we stretch that yarn out how far will the yarn go?  The yarn will span over a mile.

To visualize the progress of the work. One could sit on a flat surface and move over a little to the right with each stitch that is made.  How long would it take you to move the entire mile?  About 25 hours.

I hope to dedicate time to your project.

I am a lover of all needle art and have been sewing since I was five years old, I started to develop my design style and creativity by combining several types of needle crafts together and have honed my skills on many projects over the last 57 years. I am in the northern Colorado area and get inspired by helping others and bringing joy. I can look back at the projects that I have crafted for friends and family that are still considered very precious items to this day.
