charity project, mohair shawl

with items i do/remake for forest farm for the Christmas bazaar, they also give me projects that are half made. this one uses a trendsetter jupiter yarn. it's got mohair and other blends and sells for 7.50, from a store in ca. very expensive for just a small chunk of yarn.




looks like one started to make a shawl. but it's in 2 different sections. thought i'd just work and finish one and make it longer with yarn left and add other section later. it's got chunks of bright colored yarn among the black.










and these two pictures, taken outside





this is a reversable shawl

charity project

12 pocket scarves for forest farm

garden flowers aug 27

these i started from brown centers from some flowers up the street. i think these might be called brown eyed diasy

charity project

more pocket scarves for forest farm nursing/assisted living centers








more pocket scarves for forest farm















homespun yarns

charity project

got some yarn and unfinished projects from forest farm and put them together to make pocket scarves. i've also donated a few items for their christmas bazaar.







the pattern was also included for these. i just had to stitch up the end pieces to make the pocket.







these are animal blankets for diane to bring to potter animal shelter. they provide yarn for this.

ripple baby afghan

ripple knit baby afghan for navy relief charity.




got a skein full of hats done for hospital.


heard from laura from quiet comfort and they want me to do some hats for the medics and helmet liners for the troops. yarn incoming.

gps holders

made a few holders for the gps and one for the cords.







this one i kept the plastic that it sits in when you buy it and made a pouch for it and








put the belt type loop on the outside to close it.




the other one is more like a drawstring pouch. both will be easy to slip into the pockets on the bottom section of cargo pants when traveling.
