nutty-knitters nutty knits

nutty-knitters nutty knits

Why is it so hard to keep to one project at a time? Currently got at least four things on the needles. I have started kniing those fluffy scarves for selling for chaity. I work at a centre for people with MS and we are always looking for ways of raising money. Being totally mad I suggested that some of us start knitting scarves to sell for xmas. It seems a long time away but I thought it best to start early. So far I have persuaded one of my ladies to knit. As it is over 10 years since she last picked up a pair of needles I was really pleased. Another has shown an interest, which is great news. MS can be so disabling it is great to encourage any activity which keeps people active, even if it is only their hands!
I have just finished my third scarf in two weeks, at this rate I will have quite a stash by xmas.
If anyone has odd balls of that lovely fluffy yarn I would love to receive it.

Has anyone tried setting up a knitting group. My local craft shop has offered to host but I don't know how to start. Any ideas?

The Green dress mentoioned in previous blog is now finished and the dance show was fantastic, even if I was biased as my daughter had a solo to perform.

Now the spring weather has finally decided to show itself I have to get out ino the garden. The only downside is the fact that if I'm in the garden I can't be knitting.
