Knitsome, purlsome

Back from Camp

Spent a week in Maine on Lake Sebago, where blissfully knitted away on the Spiritual Knitting Ministries Prayer Shawl. Finished it too, with its myriad colors and fluttering tail ends which thankfully are not woven in, but just pushed to one side (the "wrong" side). Then I sent it off to Sydney but not before taking a picture of it :-(

So we started another one. :-)

Abigail has a baby sister, Amelie, and thus another sweater to make! Meanwhile I'm also working on Caps to the Capital http://www.savethechildren.org/capstothecapital/index.asp in support of keeping babies in third world countries alive all for want of a hat? We made a pretty little one and gave it to Amelie. I have three or four others to send to Save the Children.

Whilst at Camp, I met a wonderful woman who is not knitting, but she is crocheting love and prayers into afghans for children with cancer. She is now blogging too at www.crochetinghearts.blogspot.com. She has made over 125 afghans herself and is still going strong. If you can help, send an email her way at rsebud@sbcglobal.net.

Hugs,
Nutrageous!
