The following is the abbreviated list of countries. They are listed alphabetically, so once all the countries starting with a particular letter filled up, I've removed it, just to make things a little cleaner and neater.
If you would like the more detailed list, and perhaps reasons why some nations are on this list while others are not, along with images of the flags, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countries
If the country you would like to do has a name next to it then it has been claimed already. Please review the list again and find another that does not have a name.
To sign up, please scroll down to the bottom of this post, where you will find a Comment/Leave Comment button. Click on "Leave Comment," then leave your name and the country you would like to create a flag for.
The following are the only flags left unclaimed:
Ascension Island
Brunei
Greece
Northern Mariana Islands

Jabi
Ravelry: jjabie
Since we're going to split up the UK, and since they're the same colors, I'm going to take the two flags of my ancestors: England and Monaco. (Interestingly, my third ancestral home, Denmark, is ALSO red and white, but has sadly already been claimed.)
I would like to take Georgia, since I live in Georgia in the US. Very cool idea and what a great thing to be involved in!
Joy
I left a message on Ravelry but thought I'd leave one here too. I am claiming the flag of Jordan.
My name is Sherry Alabbasi, Ravelry ID: sherry71
I think this is an awesome idea. Put me down for Svalbard.

Hi! This is kokkole from Ravelry. I see no one's taken Italy yet, so I can do that. but, I can't figure out how to put my name on the list... I'll work on it. Otherwise I'll do another flag that isn't taken.
Ok I see Scotland is already taken - I'll do Somalia!

Oops! I forgot to include my Ravelry ID. It's ambraly.
I'd like to claim Norway and Sweden please! And personally, I'd prefer Doctors without Borders, but I doubt you'll find a single charity that makes everybody happy. :) A sad observation, that is!
Can I suggest you send out reminder emails, if it's not too much trouble? Or maybe set up a countdown page people can link to?

So neat! I'd like to make the flag for Mauritius :)
silly me ...Mauritius goes with my ravelry ID NaughtyNumber3
I'd like to claim Belarus (about a quarter of my family is from there, and the flag looks like it would fit well with knitting!). My ravelry username is knitwitted
I'd like Peru- never even noticed the anonymous! heathervance on Ravelry-- thanks!
Could I do Luxembourg? My ravelry ID is knititblack. :)
I also second the idea of email reminders, if possible - I am known to be very forgetful! Also, I think Doctors Without Borders is a great charity option.
Can I claim Honduras? I've spent time there in the past and have very fond memories. *grin*
ravelry ID: the hip girl
real name: Dana
P.S. And I love the idea of Doctors without Borders!
After looking at it some more I would also like to claim the Iranian flag. My mother spent her formative years there and I've heard so many stories that I feel a connection, despite never having been.
I would like to claim Aruba. My Ravelry id is Brvfan. My real name is Debby.
I recommend Doctors without Borders
I would love to participate! My name over at ravelry is elizascorner. I could take Romania and Sierra Leone.
Eliza
Hi! What a fantastic idea! I'm Hippediva at Ravelry and I'd love to do the Romany flag to honour my Roma roots.
hey, CynthiaRose on Ravelry. I'd like Tajikistan.
I'd like both the Netherlands and Iceland - they are both fairly simple red, white and blue, so they shouldn't take too long for either.
I am blackrayne on Ravelry.
I would like to do Finland, please. My Ravelry nick is citikas.
May I do Faroe Islands?
To clarify: I'm Lynn here and Durango on Ravelry. I'd like to do the Faroe Islands. (I couldn't figure out how to edit my post above.)
What an amazing idea! I would love to do the Hindu flag, with the Ohm... I'm mnemosyned on Ravelry.
Hi, I'm faerieprincess from Ravelry. I would love to do the flat of Lesotho, as my husband and I support an orphanage there.
Hi, I am "lulabelle" on ravelry and I would like to claim Anguilla.

Thanks
I'm "dralusd" on Ravelry, and I'd like to sign up for Åland.
I'd like to take American Samoa, in honor of my niece Amber's husband Junior and their two lovely children.
Lisa D in PA
Hi Sophia! I would love to claim Bhutan! I am Truelovefiber on Ravelry.
I'll take Namibia!
(ashleyknits on Ravelry)
I scanned through the list of comments and didn't see anyone claiming this one yet, but I'll volunteer for New Zealand. It's top on my list of places I really want to visit (and all the countries my relatives came from are already taken).
I'm Jenipurr on Ravelry, by the way.
I would like Qatar. I'm Spirals on Ravelry.
Barbados all the way 100% Bajan
This is a wonderful idea and I hope you get TOP TOP marks for your project. I would like to do St Kitts and Nevis. I lived there for a few months when I was young, and still hanker after it.
Second point, I think Doctors without Borders would also be better, since some countries only use the Red Crescent organisation and others the Mogan David. The Red Cross, as far as I understand it, is only universal in Christian countries. I think Doctors Without Borders is truly universal.

I would also like to do Seychelles if it's alright to do two flags. - Elizabeth

Can I take Kazakstan please.
Although I already have signed on to knit Israel & Palestine, I'd like to try Cambodia (in honor of a refugee-friend from the killing fields)
I would like to do Taiwan if it's still open. (catrionag on Ravelry)

I'd like to do Tonga or Myanmar (my brother is there right now). I am fairisle on Ravelry, so I would love to do the Shetland Islands, but Tonga is close.
I'd like to do Ghana. Some kind of reminder system would be great! I'm soil on ravelry. Lois
I'd like to claim Tonga and Netherlands Antilles in addition to the Dominican Republic flag which I'm already working on.
I hope it's OK if the colors of the yarn are not exactly the shade of the flags I see on the world flag database? I bought red, white and navy yarn and now I'm afraid the colors on the website look much brighter.
meh on Ravelry
I would like to claim Benin, please. I'm charmling on ravelry.

Hi, can I do Vanuatu please? My sister did her gap year there and it sounds like a really cool place!
Ta, Estieknits on Ravelry.
I've already signed up for Dominica, and I'm planning on quilting it. But I'm just learning to knit, and I'd like to take on a few more flags to practice my different stitches - is that okay? If so, I'd also like to add Columbia, Mali, Armenia, S. Ossetta, and Togo. If that's too many, just tell me which ones I can do - you pick! I'm really excited to see how this turns out.
Thanks,
Colleen
I'll take Lebanon if it hasn't already been claimed.
Julie
I'd like to do Botswana.
Is there a reason countries H through J aren't on the list?
Thanks. I'm Frenchyknits on Ravelry.
A friend of mine is going to do Guam but just wants to list it under me - Colleen (doing Dominca et al). And that's it! I promise :).

Hi. I'll take Mayotte if no one else has it.

Hello what a wonderful idea I would like to take Zimbabwe. So much trouble there at the moment.

I would love to make the San Marino flag. Thanks!
If no one else has claimed Eritrea, I'd like to do their flag. I love the story of their constitution.
Hi,
I love your idea. Could I do Australia's Aboriginal Flag?
http://www.ausflag.com.au/flags/ab.html
You may be aware of the injustices and prejudice experienced by Indigenous Australians and I was just thinking perhaps a peace quilt would be a good place to include their flag.
This is a fantastic idea. I'd like to do Oman's flag if possible, as it's the only country left on the list that I've been in.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Saint Barthelemy both use the French flag. Had you noticed that? Would that cause any confusion on your main flag.
I'd also like to make the flags for Maldives, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, the Solomon Islands, and Uzbekistan.
These flags are seriously addicting.
(I'm waiting to send my Namibia flags along with the rest of these).
~ashleyknits
Can I do Suriname? Please email me and let me know before I start! Thanks
I'll do Guernsey.
Julie
"jrs" on Ravelry
I'd like to do Transnistria! It will be interesting to learn about this country!!
I'll add Guyana and Bosnia and Herzegovina to my list. As I think Greenland will be started and finished by the end of the week.
If no one else has claimed it, I will do the Christian flag.
Can I do Burkina Faso too? I once did a school project on it so I feel a connection with it and no one else has volunteered...
Can I do Iceland as well, please?
I'll go ahead and take the Netherlands too.
I'm claiming the Netherlands! Thanks for this great idea - can't wait to see a pic of the finished project.
lynnw63 on Ravelry
Oops! I can see I missed out on the Netherlands! I should have read the previous posts more closely.
Thanks, and sorry for the confusion. I'll withdraw then, as all the countries that I have any links to have been claimed.
I'll do Zambia next, if I may. My son went on holiday there when he was 10 years old, with a friend...long story!
I'll do Antigua and Barbuda. :D I'm Silver on Ravelry.
Just found out about this wonderful project right this minute...I would LOVE to do Moldova!

Kyred/Ravelry
I have 3 flags done, 4th almost done. I can do 4 more for you. I can do: Nagorno, Marshall Islands, Guinea-Bissau, and Northern Cypress. This has been fun! I've enjoyed the challenge.
I'm absmith on ravelry.
This is an interesting and worthwhile project. Is there a deadline? As for the "straight pride" question, although many would disagree, I've always felt that the rainbow stood for diversity, which includes people who practice alternative ways of loving, as well as those who are "straight but not narrow." That really fits with the concept of the rainbow including the full gamut of colours.
Lavender: If you follow the links in the sidebar, you'll find answers to all of your questions. Go to the info page for the deadlines and sizing requirements.
too late, tibet was taken, bhutan would have been a challange, can i do Isle of Man maybe?
