  • 1. Post PROGRESS picture of project and tag post "2011 PrimeTime"
  • 2. Post picture of finished project and tag post "2011 PrimeTime". Please use your name as listed on sidebar so you get credit for the project. PICTURES OF PROJECTS MUST BE POSTED WITHIN 4 DAYS FROM THE END OF EACH MONTH FOR CREDIT.
  • 3. Need to finish one project per month. Project(s) must use a minimum of 300 yds for a knitted project and 500 yds for a crocheted project. Please show all items in one post if you are making a "set" for the month. If yarn is knit multi-strand, yardage will be counted as if multi-strand is single...ie. 200 yds knit doubled counts as 100 yard.
