The original blog post is here. The idea?

1. Instead of writing 50,000 words in a month, knit 50,000 stitches.
2. Crochet stitches count.
3. The 50,000 stitches do not have to be a part of a single project (though what a project it would be), and the project does not have to be a sweater.
4. Update with your stitch count for the day and month thus far, and give us many pictures!

I'm working on a puppy sweater for one of my coworkers. No idea how many stitches I knit yesterday, but I'll start counting today. Huzzah! Also, with holiday knitting, this should go pretty damn quick.

(I think the name is sorta stupid, too)

I was thinking that myself. My job starts to slow down a bit (before kicking immediately into high insane get shit done gear in January), but I can't really knit at work. I'd imagine some people could still sneak in writing if they work at computers. I'm knitting a lot of gifts this year anyway, so hopefully this will motivate me to do things BEFORE December 24 (or December 15, whatever's between you and your god).

Ah, fic insanity, I share that. I just finished pulling my hair out over a contest deadline, I'm currently tearing the remains out overe an exchange--and I'm totally signing up for the Christmas one too.
