Labeling Day...again

It seems as though we just had a round of labeling and sorting. Oh wait! We did! It was when we delivered items to the South End Children's Cafe in October. Wow! We have been busy. 

This is the part of the job when we hold up items to try to guess who made it and what fiber was used so we can put a laundering instruction label on it.

Thankfully someone almost always remembers. This donation will go to Grassroots Givers, an organization that collects items to help those of the community in need. We have collected 84 items which include hats, cowls, mittens, scarves, dish cloths, a toddler dress, and a toddler sweater.

And we already have a head start on the new cycle which will go to "Knit the Rainbow", an organization founded in 2020 to help homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City survive the brutal winters.

Janna made progress on her Mistake Stitch Scarf since last week. She has a lovely wooden yarn bowl to keep that ball of yarn from walking away.

Even though it's not knitting, I had to show you this adorable cloth basket that Carole sewed as a baby gift for a friend's soon-to-arrive granddaughter. 

Jan P. took some yarn last week to make a Helix Hat and now she's hooked! Today she took more yarn to keep making these addictive hats.

Cinzia is also making a hat with an unusual design detail. The ribbing is pretty cool and so is the pattern.

Dorah started the "Baby, You're a Firework" Hat which used slipped stitches to make this cool design that shows up when you look down on the top of the hat.

Carole started a hat too but I can't remember the pattern. I have a good memory, it's just short. LOL!

Barbara B. made progress on her "Ripples Make Waves" hat, a freebie on Ravelry.

I'm trying to use up as much of the stash as possible so I took two strands of fingering weight baby alpaca yarn held together with a size 7 needle to make a Hepsi's Neck Warmer, also a freebie on Ravelry.

 I need to hurry up and finish this so I can cast on for one of those Firework hats. It looks like fun! So I'll say see you next week and keep those needles clicking!
