It's been ages since I last posted - yet I've been power knitting like crazy. Our Christmas Gifts for the homeless of our city (Toronto) need to be completed by Nov. 21. There are SOOOOOOOOO many of us knitting - myself included. We have scarves, hats and mitts galore. They are beautiful. Last week four of us worked on putting the sets together - we had SO much fun. We were trying on the hats and wearing them as we worked. Jennifer actually saw a set (or was it two sets?) that she couldn't part with. Now she's has to shop for something to replace it since it was intended to go in our Christmas packages! I believe they were made by one of our super knitters/crocheters Francette. I think Francette made at least tweleve hats & scarf sets. Ricky made about the same number of hats/scarves/mitts and Pat B made eighteen complete sets! I know we have over 100 by now the we have another week and a half to go. It's amazing.
PLUS, I am trying to get some Christmas knitting completed as well. My hands just don't move as quickly as they use to and it's getting me down. Thankfully, our weather hasn't been too cold so my joints are still working. I should have some pictures to post very soon. Don't want to spoil any surprises but - my niece, Erin, finally has a completed birthday gift - woo hoo!
