Hi Michelle, I don’t have an email subscription option setup just yet but I’m hoping to have something available this weekend. Thanks for asking :).

Michelle I was able to get this up tonight after all. The email subscription option is available now (top right corner of the sidebar).

Great project for Va. Tech - feels good to be able to help somehow. Some of my group are making squares. What size knit and/or crochet needles do you suggest, and how many stitches to cast on or chain to start with to get the 8″? Please respond to e-mail above. Thanx.

Would like to have pattern for the Hokie Bird - also, a pattern for the VT Logo - I am the mother of a 1992 English Graduate of VT and sadly I would like to be a part of this - I am in, I am already knitting away the minutes - My heart goes out to all the victims and their families - God’s strength to all…
