The afternoon knitters labeled and the evening knitters inventoried our donations to ready them for delivery. We counted 24 hats, 24 cowls, 6 scarves, 3 pairs of socks, 1 headband, and 1 lap robe. I have to thank Elaine's granddaughter, Alex, for helping too. She was very patient, for a 9 year old, and agreed to hang around long enough to add labels to our knits. These will be going to the homeless women veterans some time next week.
After our labeling duties were completed Barbara got to work on her shawl, which is almost finished. Liz added stitches to her cowl and...
Debbie worked on her hat.
This evening Beth needed a model to try on the wrap she was making to see if it was long enough to begin the decreases toward the end. Carole was kind enough to "volunteer" her services. ;)
Margaret performed that hated chore of weaving in the ends on her completed hat and Dorah continued on her 2X2 ribbed hat. I found a video tutorial that shows how to weave the ends in as you knit so Margaret doesn't have to toil over all those wretched ends again.
My Mistake Stitch tweed scarf seems to be taking forever. In the grand scheme of things, I know it's not really but it feels like it is.
Margaret showed us her next project and...
has already cast on for the double thick brim.
Carole brought a finished hat for our next project which is the Capt. John McKenna IV Military Courtesy Room at the Albany International Airport. It is a place of comfort and rest for traveling military personnel and their families. We will stock their inventory with items for warmth and caring.
And here is Margaret's hat after all those crazy ends have been woven in.
The grands visited last week so my oldest could take his annual golf lessons. Since we can't travel to their home in time for the younger one's 7th birthday, we got him a football cake to celebrate. He was thrilled and ...
we all enjoyed the delicious chocolate-chocolate chip cake with cream cheese icing.
Now it's back to my salads and lean chicken!
Have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
