Post title says it all. The Mouthy Maries (me and Daniella Marie) have decided that we need to take some time and work from our stash and knit for charity. Since Friday, I have so far made 6 baby hats and the beginnings of a baby blanket (I had a solid 16 hours at the yarn store on Friday and Saturday hanging out with Dani) that we are going to donate to our local foster care center and women’s shelters. I plan to make a redonk amount of hats (not just baby), scarves and blankets.
The project will do the following things for me: a) keep me off the street and spending money I do not have, b)bust my stash, c) keep me entertained with quickie projects and other long term projects, d) gives me a real excuse to knit constantly instead of doing housework, laundry and other boring stuff and the biggest plus is that it helps out a few organizations that are close to my heart and don’t get nearly enough donations and funding.
Baby Hats Pattern I found via Ravelry: Preemie Hats for Charity
Baby Blanket Pattern (knit in the round=awesome) I found via Ravelry: Round or Pinwheel Baby Blanket
Destashed so far for this project:
2 skeins of Bernat Soy Natural Blends (5 baby hats)
.40 skein of Vanna’s Choice Baby (1 baby hat)
and much much more yarn to go!
If I was an internets wizard, I would get some sort of progress bar for my blog. (hmmm something to look into)
