198 Countries Peace Project...

I came across the 198 Countries Peace Project earlier on Ravelry, and am posting this partly as a reminder to myself, but also as a request for others to join as well.

The original blog post about this project is here, it has a link to the country list in it as well if anyone else wants to sign up. Be sure to check the comments before committing to a country, I noticed a few countries hadn't been updated on the list to their taken status.

I have claimed Iceland and the Netherlands - both are red, white and blue, and fairly simple designs. I have no specific affinity with either country (though I am pretty sure somewhere in my heritage there are traces of the Netherlands), but I think it's a great idea for a project and I am looking forward to helping in it's construction.

I am thinking we may have to finally plan a trip to Columbus, Ohio when it is on display too - we've been wanting to visit, and it's not that far of a drive, and it'd be great to see the project when it is completed.
