more for charity!

This whole "crating through the Olympics" thing has really done wonders for my speed crafting! I've gotten through this scarf you see here, plus these six more squares for Warming Omaha.

And then there's these four scarves. They'll also go to my mom to be donated at the hospital, but I'm really loving making vertical scarves. I've got a new one on the needles as we speak, and I'm thinking of making some for my Etsy shop for the holidays (obviously not to be listed here!) I love them so much! Great for using up random yarns, and you don't even need to worry about how well they all match if you don't want to, because the whole picture looks great no matter what!

One scarf to overwhelm Patty

I also posted this on LJ, but wanted to put it on here too for Patty to see. I'll be mailing it this week to you!

My 2nd knit project ever!

19 more in April

OK - well - since I like to post all at once at the end of the month (because then I know where we are on our goals, etc.) here is my monthly contribution. Holy moly we blew that monster away!! Thank you to everyone for all of your hard work!!

7 scarves for the Mary Read Memorial KAL. 12 Warm Up Americ Sqares

5 more fun scarves

( peekshure )

I have to tell you a story about the scarf on the right. So, over the weekend I went to my craft store. They've had yarn on sale for $1 in the clearance section since around Halloween. A crafter's worst nightmare, but I've been pretty strong. Still, I needed to do a couple more fun scarves to finish out my 5, and I don't have a whole lot left, so I got the purple fuzzy stuff on the far left and this black, white, and grey Darice Folklore on the right. Usually a skein is enough to do one of these scarves, so I figured I'd be fine. Well, last night, I ran out of yarn...and I was only about 3-quarters of the way done. So, I head out to my craft store.

Since Saturday, they reorganized the entire clearance aisle, and I can't find ANY yarn, not to mention the stuff I neeeded. I looked, I asked...and I was about to give up when I thought to myself, no...I will find one more skein of this stuff! I went through one box, two boxes...no luck. But then, in the third box I tried, there it was!!! I literally got the last skein of the yarn in the entire store, finished the scarf, and um...I really want it for myself cuz I like it lots. But I'm giving it away anyway :)

Phew.
