Now *that's* a project big enough for arachne! Seven people make wives,
forty-nine beginners make sacks (each in a different color and/or ground
stitch), 343 people make cats, 2,401 people make kittens. B-D
Yes, but the cats and the kittens are in the sacks. And I'm sure you wouldn't see all the 49 sacks at one time - if I were carrying 7 sacks some of them would be hidden behind my body and behind the other sacks. But I also can't imagine that all the sacks would stay closed with so many irritated kitties inside, so I think you'd see:
1 man
7 wives,
a number of sacks appearing from behind the wive's backs or lying on the roadside where somebody dropped one and hasn't noticed yet
a few cats and kittens who have managed to make their escape, running every which way ...
That makes a great subject for a group project because the number of objects isn't pre-determined: dedicated trustworthy volunteers would make the man (who I bet is carrying *nothing*) and his rather harried 7 wives, lots of people could make sacks and you could have a few cat-makers, but if any of the sacks or cats didn't get made you wouldn't have a problem.
