Red Scarf Project

This past January, I made scarves for Mechanicville United Methodist Church to donate to St. Mary's Hospital. The hospital, in turn, sells them as a fundraiser. I have attached photos of a couple if the scarves in progress, each scarf close up, a full photo of each scarf, Pastor Ginny of Mechanicville United Methodist Church blessing the scarves, and Gary with the scarves. Gary is the member of Mechanicville United Methodist Church who was going to be bringing the scarves to St. Mary's Hospital. I was a blessing to be able to help them with this project. They were able to donate the 5 scarves that I made, I was able to get 11 skeins/balls of yarn out of my stash.

A Couple Hats For A Friend

My husband has an awesome friend who is in the Army and is stationed in California. He asked me to make him a hat. When he asked for this at first I thought he was joking. He lives in California, isn't it supposed to be hot there? I watched the weather for where he lives and found that some of the time it is as cold in California as it is here. So, I decided to make him 2 hats. The solid colored one is made out of Caron Simply Soft yarn and the camo looking one is made out of Bernat Camouflage.

Charity Hats

I just wanted to share the charity hats that I made for the homeless in Kansas. My prayer partner from Sisters Knitted & Crocheted in Christ started the Kansas group. More information can be found here if you are interested in helping her:

These are photos of the hats that I sent to her.

Not Related, But We Are Still Sisters

Some of you may know that I am a member of a group on Ravelry called Sisters Knitted & Crocheted in Christ. Basically we are a group of knitters and crocheters that pray for each other and share common interests. We make prayer squares for each other. They are the same concept as prayer shawls, but on a smaller scale. (For those who aren't familiar, when one makes a prayer shawl, they pray for the person who is receiving the shawl.) These squares can be made into an afghan, a shawl, a scarf, a bag, or whatever else the recipient decides to do with the squares. These are the squares that were made for me. Each one is just as special and treasured as the gal that made it for me. My goal is to make an afghan out of them eventually.
