gone, all gone

I got rid of all the fibre and most of the yarn that i took to the guild meeting, took 1 huge garbage bag full of fibre, and about half a garbage bag full of fancy yarns and weaving yarns... and only came back with one small bag of fancy yarn, and Judy Sue will get that, she likes fancy yarns...

the other Sheila showed us her first Tea towels, she did a really good job..i will try to get a picture of it to show you as i won it in our guild raffle which we have every week we meet, we donate gifts and then buy tickets on the gifts, and we use that money to buy books.. we bought 4 very nice books at Desert Mesa this spring....



Have you ever heard of this website http:///www.afghansforafghans.org/... there are several sites that you can knit things for the unfortunate, but they have to be out of acrylic yarn, this one they insist that the knitting be out of WOOL or other natural fibres..you can knit socks, vests, shawls, baby stuff, hats and scarfs, i am hoping the guild will try to make something that we can send over there.. i really like the idea of it being out of natural fibres.. I have to figure out how to set up the proper links... anyone out there know how... nite, nite..........

I'm glad you found the Afghans for Afghans site - it's on my blog - I knit a dozen pairs of newborn socks for them every year out of all the regular sock leftovers. It sure doesn't take much to make newborn socks!!!
