Last Call

We are quickly approaching the end of the year and our last Guild meeting for 2010. Our year-long service project of hats, scarves & mittens for two deserving charities is coming to a close. Please plan on attending our annual holiday party on December 21st, and bring joy (and warmth!) to others by handing in those finished items for our charity project! All items are welcome (please mark them for fiber content/washing instructions), and you do not need to make a complete set.

Here are a couple of patterns I’ve recently found – they are quick knits, too!

This is the Ella Rose’s Pixie Bonnet – a lovely, free pattern using sport weight yarn, and can be knit in 0-12 mo. or 12-24 mo. size. No fancy stitches and easy to knit while watching TV or at your knit group.

These are the Plait Cable Mittens.  Another free pattern! These work up very quickly in worsted weight yarn.

If you are unable to make it to the December meeting, please contact Michele Germanson at michminn AT yahoo DOT com to arrange delivery of your finished projects.

We’ll be announcing the 2011 charity knitting project soon – and sharing photos of the finished items collected for 2010, so stay tuned!
