Helmet liners



The knitting friends came here last night and completed helmet liners. We all have made these wool hats for local soldiers. I guess they will be sent in their care packages around Christmas. Some of the parents of two soldiers came to a meeting a few weeks back. I hate "war" but support these unfortunate kids and their families. I hope the hat helps keep some soldier warm. ( pattern is available at the link.) Our hats go to OSOT c/c Stepanie Johnson

Kitty Pi




I was so excited today!Last night the Kitty Pi was completed during Kidnapped and Standoff WendyKnits. So today I did my first ever felting . I put this through the washer two times and was not sure when it was done for sure.. Looked all over for several containers to block it as I was not sure how much it would shrink . The directions said put it in a pillowcase holder with a zipper but I just had a pain pillowcase I tied. It ended up coming out of the case so I hope it did not attract too much other lint?
Anyways- now it is drying..Finding out how the colors developed was exciting..Now I wait for it to dry! I hope the kitties will like it!

fun projects

This is a cool bracelet that matches the necklace that I made at Camp this summer in Bradford,PA. It looks better than what the picture shows.( I think) One problem is that the thread stretches out after wearing it so I am giving it to my friend.


I am enjoying this project ! I have about 20 or so more rows to finish and then will do my first felting project ever..This is for Elizabeth's 3 cats :Mini,ChaCha and Mondo.
