hats for Cheyenne River

Image
made about a dozen hats using up leftover yarn - in several different sizes, but a lot of them big -mailed to the Cheyenne River Youth Project -https://lakotayouth.org - didn't get a picture  Now I'm making socks for my sister, whose favorite color is orange  Socks were finished and mailed. Sent another pkg to Cheyenne River - abut 10 more hats from leftover yarns Also made another pair for my sister - tofutsies (no picture), and sent a pair of socks to my older sister(no picture),  and then sent a pair of striped socks to my sister-in-law (no picture). Also sent 2 knitted dishcloths to each of my sisters and brother - orange and red (maybe bright yellow and red??) Knitting more hats for Cheyenne River - black and white... separately, not black-and-white, because the yarns are such different weights. Again, just knitting up leftovers... The knitting bowl was a present from my daughter.

Judy in Pierce City gave me the angel with two borders. I did the rest. Experimenting with meandering with a walking foot on, but with lowered feed teeth. 37" by 40" I have two more

End-of-year sewing

Well, I made a t-shirt to erase the awful memory of the pants-that-do-not-fit. The t, another t-n-t pattern, fits perfectly, so I don't know what I did... But I am getting ready to make a lovely pair of charcoal grey wool pants. (I will measure before cutting.) I also bound four kiddie quilts and quilted parts of two others for my quilting group. We make them for the local Children's Advocacy Center. Have spent some time quilting my Bonnie Hunter "En Provence", and have started cutting for another quilt. Perhaps today I may try to see what needs to be done to finish my chambray shirt...
