Finished Scarf

I didn't realize that I hadn't shown the finished scarf!  My bad!







Overall, I really like it!  Think it went well & looks good.

There are definitely some funky spots & wonky edges.  I think that is about my issues getting the warp on the loom.  Made mistakes & learned.  But overall, I think it is a good charity scarf.  Definitely not perfect, but good.

I can't recall if I read this somewhere or just thought of it when when looking for a cutting board.

Having a cutting board with inch measurements & a rotary cutter makes cutting fringe a whole lot simplier.

I know I read/saw the bit about using a heavy book to weigh down a project when dealing with fringe.  It works well for cutting as well as twisted fringe.  The Jansen History of Art is my go to as it is big & heavy!



A roll of the rotary cutter & nice even ends.





Hooray for my first project on the new-to-me loom!

Aimee from Fairie Knits Podcast Is Doing a Lupus Walk

Aimee from the Fairie Knits Podcast is doing a lupus walk in October.

She is also doing a wonderful raffle for each donation she receives. For each $5 donation, she will put 'tickets' in the raffle. She will draw names & give away some very cool prizes.

Check out her blog for more details.

It amazes me how generous the knitting community is. The prizes have been donated by a number of different vendors. It really is wonderful how much they come together for these things.

Hat for Afghans for Afghans Charity

I started a new project last night. I decided on another hat for charity. The Lime & Violet blog mentioned that Afghans for Afghans is looking for submissions and the deadline is Oct. 12th. So I figured it would be a good project to add to the pile.

The site lists a hat pattern that I am using. I have only done the ribbing so far, but I am hoping it will be quick.

I am using New Relax Wool in Bordeaux. It is a cone I got back when I first started knitting. It is the same yarn that I knit the Dulaan hat out of. I think it should be good.

I really do love how many knitting charities there are.
