Almost everything that I have worked on since January is leaving the house today. The count is as follows: 50 hand knit hats, 21 hand knit scarfs, 4 hand woven scarfs. I acquired 33 pairs of socks and 12 backpacks. I really think the volume of items Surprised John this morning. I know that I fell short of my yearly goal of 60 hats, but I must face the fact that it was a bad hand year. The fact that my hats are knit on US size 6 & 8’s verses the scarfs which were knit on no smaller than a US size 11. By the way the larger the number the bigger the knitting needles are. This makes them easier to hold on a bad hand day too.
I used John’s couch to lay out everything for one last picture before they left the house. I almost covered the entire couch. Everything is now packed up to drop off at The Flowing Wells School District Clothing Bank. It makes me very happy that I can use my idle time like this.
