Red Scarf Project Again




Last year I participated in the Red Scarf Project and this year my Knit Wits group decided to join in. We each made a red scarf for some foster child somewhere. On Monday we took a field trip to Yarn Garden and donated our efforts. For this year, I tried a new pattern using short rows. It ended up with alternating triangles and made a very interesting design. The pattern was from a knitting magazine (Christmas present from my daughter), Creative Knitting, March 2008. Size 10 1/2 needles and worsted weight yarn.

A Knit Wits Visit


Little Ember Louise Fay Roth and her mother visited the Knit Wits on Wednesday. You will note the pink lace hat that has appeared here before. Also...at the bottom of the photo you can see the little green booties that Knit Wits member Nancy made for the baby.
My daughter gave me a subscription to a knitting magazine and now each month I am getting ideas for more things to make for my grandchildren. Another one is due in March! Stay in touch for more photos of projects.
