Winners All Around
Lu guessed that the design European Tour Set from the book, It’s In the Bag, was in my knitting bag and she was correct! Lu wins a copy of the book. Thanks to everyone who played along. If time is on my side this week, I have a little project to share that I made using the weaving technique I blogged about. But no finished photos yet, unfortunately.
I’d like to send out sincere thanks to everyone who purchased my patterns on November 19th. I transferred a grand total of $259.64 to the Red Scarf Fund on the morning of the 20th. Awesome!
Don’t forget that in addition to cash, the Red Scarf Project needs hand-knit scarves. Norma just put out an “urgent” call and I intend to answer it with at least one more scarf. Although I rarely knit for charity when store-bought items will serve the same purpose, the Red Scarf Project really is different. The scarves are not so much for warmth as they are a means to communicate a message of encouragement to the recipients.
I know time is at a premium during the holiday season but please consider knitting up a red scarf and sending it to OFA. My son is a sophomore in college and I just boxed up a care package that I’ll send to him during finals week. I know how much he loves receiving these packages and I can visualize the eye rolls when he unpacks the silly items I included with the food. College is stressful and difficult. A few hours of your time can really make a difference to a college student with no family support. All the details are here on the OFA website.
