I have no idea how many folks actually read this blog but I did want to share some info I found today on Ravelry. Apparently, there is a collaborative effort going on right now to gather as many white or near white knitted, crocheted, or spun pieces together to make a fiber "milkweed pod" It's a really neat idea, and if you have any desire to help out, check out her website: http://sticksandstitches.squarespace.com/the-milkweed-project-you-p/
