I Haven't Forgotten Felix

 My writing friends -- not my knitting friends -- will be meeting again in a few days, and I have not forgotten Felix.

I'm quite prepared. I have several more hats, all from the same skein of variegated blue yarn, in different sizes. I KNOW one of them will fit Felix. Maybe his grandmother should take two -- one to fit him now, and one to grow into.

Knitting More Red Scarves (sigh)

 I've knit a lot of red scarves for a hospital women's cardiac program. The scarves have to at least a minimum size, can be any pattern, but MUST BE RED.

Getting a little tired of knitting red scarves, I decided I would try something else, maybe toddler and smaller hats. I'm learning to put the two ends of a rectangle together using the Kitchener Stitch, which, if done properly, form a seam which can hardly be detected.

Couple of weeks ago I went to a meeting of several craftwomen who knit or crochet items for charity programs. We met at The Studio, which was closed for the day. We have access to donated yarn, bag after bag of it. A couple of the ladies were going through the bags of donated yarns and every time they found a skein of red yarn, they threw it at me!

Guess I'll be knitting more red scarves.
