LOL, mmmm cabana boys....enRico! JK- its January in Maine, we have to dream.
I just found a receptive person to the joys of pools- LOL.
I did place my stitches on the circular needles last night, waiting for the remainder of the instructions for the raglan sleeve sweater. This sweater is the only type I've done, its funny, all the years I've Knit and crochet, still sitting in the beginner chair. Christmas was fun as I made kids mittens for a BYC friend and its been years since I've knit anything that got such a positive response.
My own family didn't want homemade mittens, I had to do gloves and then the first day at school, one or even the pair was gone when they got home.
I should make mittens for kids, we have a project all winter,
Coats for Kids actually all year, when your kids get new coats for school, out grown, even needing a new zipper, a dry cleaning business actually cleans and repairs jackets and then they get handed out to folks and teachers that distributes them to needy children.
It is a wonderful thing to knit for (taking my own advice!). Also another lady would knit and crochet socks, afghans, hats & mittens for adults, give them to the homeless shelters.
Oh, also another interesting thing (to me) was a elderly lady that made "bandages"! Crochet cotton, very tiny needles, about 3" wide just a knit stitch. It was something she and many others did for the "war effort" in WWII.
OK, I'll go back to my dreaming cabana boy (mine I'm afraid is in bed sleeping off a wicked cold-DH)
