More Charity Knitting
I have several charity projects that I knit for.
There are
The hat that I started on my way home from TNNA is one of these pictured. I had some made before the show and I have made others since then. These are really easy and fast to make. Some of them will go to the internationals and some will go to knit-a-cap.
The red mittens in my last post are planned for Macuwita-Sni, as are these red and blue stranded mittens. These have been a fun but frustrating exercise. I do not have a pattern to work from. I just thought I should add a simple stranded pattern to make them a little thicker and warmer. HA! The first mitten didn't work out too badly but trying to make the second one match was really a challenge! As my husband likes to remind me, "It's easy to make ONE of anything alike!"
I have ripped out many, many times! But I think I finally have it. Now to see if I can figure out what to do with the thumbs!!
There are
- prayer shawls for our church ministry,
- hats & mittens for the international families -- also part of our church ministry,
- hats for www.knit-a-cap.org,
- and recently I started making wool mittens for Macuwita-Sni (on Yahoo) (and here on Ravelry) a project for the Cheyenne River Sioux in South Dakota

I think those are beautiful mittens! You have done a grand job designing them ... love those hats too! YiPpEE for helping so many in need!
they look so good!
Your mittens are looking great. You are more persistent than me. I have a habit of frogging those smaller items for good when I hit a snag.
