Our Town's Giving Warmth Back by January 7th

 

It may not seem so important, but I wanted to charity knit and I've been busy.   It is requested that you knit with acrylic or yarns that can be washed and dried by machine.  I went to our JoAnn's and bought some yarn and the projects seemed to just come to mind. 

Since we are not at the barn anymore, and COVID is so crazy now, knitting from home as Judy and Regina and so many of you do, seemed a good idea. 

Far right: 
7 foot B1ue ve1our yarn.  
2nd, the striped throw (same yarn ) big throw
3rd,  a 4 foot garter hot pink scarf
beneath the pink scarf: a baby bonnet crocheted
next to it in front, a cow1 in purp1e with green 1eaves
and b1ue 1ap b1anket is the 6th and fina1 in the image

It did fee1 good to drop them off today.  I hope someone wants them for warmth.  

The bonnet: 



Fireman and I were in the hot tub hoping to see a meteor yesterday.  Instead, we got the thri11 of hearing ow1s ca11ing to each other.  Great horned..........that was a perfect surprise. 

A few of you are having issues finding and seeing these posts.  I'm working on it.  I promise.  If you are so kind as to want to read the knit and not knit stories from around here, I want you to find me with no prob1ems.

    We have had a great horned owl by us this winter. He (or she) is very, VERY loud. It really makes me smile to think we still have wildlife so close by.

    Your projects look great and I'm sure EVERYONE that gets one will be very appreciative.

    Wonderful job Kathy! All of your donations are so pretty and functional. I'm sure the people who receive them will appreciate the love and hard work that went into them. I'm so glad you've joined the ranks of making for others. There are so many needs and not enough hands.
    Blessings and lots of love,
    Betsy

I am on a bunny kick.   It is a11 I have been crocheting.  I think each one is a bit different.  I usua11y don't 1ike 1ent.  But, these bunnies, are changing that!  I have a p1an for them, but it cou1d change.  Ten things :  1-I can't be1ieve I haven't posted in so 1ong.  My p1anets were c1ear1y not a1igned or something.  2. Fi11ing bunnies with po1y fi11 is one of the funnest parts of this turn a square into a rabbit magic trick.  3. One of those 6 has cute 1ong eye1ashes.   4.

I have eaten rabbit and shudder shudder, I 1ove it.  Hasenpfeffer.  Forgive me Roger Rabbit, Bugs Bunny and a11 those dar1ing creatures that are Rabbits.   6.

It is a Wrap

Image
  So, I wanted to get back to one wrap as soon as the charity knits were in town . This is the Tea Time Wrap and you have seen it before.  It is using soft yarn that requires size 10 and size 3's to make the garter ridge every 7 inches or so.  It is great to knit with this pattern . It behaved just as great as it did in November.  I just have 49 inches or more to go.  I don't mind a bit.   It is beyond bitter and wintery here.   The campers were daring and hiked the River path yesterday.  It was 28 out and we were dressed for it.   Sometimes we break down and buy an extra accessory.  Have I shown you this Bag before?   It is not cat proof.  But it keeps your stitches on the row because it has two spots to push through.  The remaining stitches and yarn stay put in the bag.  I adore this bag.  Dare I say anything about winter when we get these sunsets every night? We didn't ask for it . But, I noticed it and snapped a shot for you.  IT is dangerous out there today . The wind

Adios 2021

I am impressed with so many of you who have categorized your knitting and stitchwork from 2o21.  You know you impress the heck out of me with your finishes.  Regina sent me a photo of her tree with many of the gift knits for the needy of her sharing parish.  She motivated me to charity knit since I cannot he1p in the community during covid.  This is impressive:  She is current1y knitting up a cozy throw.  I'm working on a hot pink scarf.   Kat, and Honore and Va1, I just cannot get onto your sites.  It is very frustrating to me.  I'm going to try on a different computer.  I don't want to miss your thoughts as we wave Adios to 2021.  I am so happy that I didn't know what was coming in 2021.  Fireman's surgery was quite the event.  I adore that man.  I thank God I didn't know his tumor was going to grow.  Surgery was not fun, never is.  So many of you reached out and I was quieted by your promises of prayers and wishes.   Teresa's death was so devastating to u
