2 More Items

I have managed to finish a hat and a scarf this week.
Both are made from 100% wool, and both patterns came out of Stitch and Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker.

Next up - mittens!

Getting Close

Again, I want to thank everyone for the items that they have knitted/crocheted for this project. I didn't know if it would work, or how many people, if any, would be willing to help. But you all have done something amazing, and it warms my heart every time I think about it.

Right now our count is 66 items!!!!! We're over half way there. I've added a counter to the top of the page, to show how much time is left until all items are due. And don't forget, the person who knits/crochets the most items will receive a $25 gift card to either KnitPicks or JoAnn Fabrics.

OH YES - and this is very important. I will be in New York for Rhinebeck in October, from the 19th - 22nd. I'll have my mail on hold, but I just wanted to let everyone know.

Again, thank you everyone. Keep 'em coming!

And The Winner Is ...

RONI!

Congrats, Roni! John drew your name out of the his hat, and Mavy helped!

Roni, please email me you address, and I'll ship the yarn out to you ASAP!

I'm here, really!

Obviously it's not done - but that's the scarf I've been working on, and I also have a hat finished! Things are just nuts, but I'm trying to divide time to be sure I'm knitting for reasons that are as great as the one here :)

Two hats

Ugh sorry for the craptastic picture. The hats look nicer in person I swear.

Anyways, I hope these are good enough. These are only the second and third hat I've ever knit. I'll be mailing them out this Saturday.

Oh and I don't have your address yet. Could you e-mail it to me?

These are the last 2 hats I did- both baby hats, one in homespun, one in babysoft. Both were made on the knifty knitter.

These were sent off last week with the scarf and the adult hat. Have you gotten them yet, Amy?

That's Right ... Contest #2

Everyone, take a bow! We are HALF WAY to our goal already! I can't say thank you enough to everyone, for taking the time to knit all these wonderful warm items!

Now .... how about another CONTEST! This time, I'm making it a little harder. Not much though, so don't worry.

CONTEST #2 - On your blog (if you don't have a blog, just comment to this entry), post an entry about which knitting charity is your favorite, and why. Everyone who posts their answer will get there name written down and put in the hat, and I'll have John draw the winner. The deadline will be Wednesday, August 15th, at 8pm EST, and the winner will be announced by the following Friday. It should be interesting to read every one's answers.

And as for a prize? How about TWO skeins of Big Noro Kureyon?


So, happy posting, and happy knitting!
