Puget Sound Knitting: September 2008

http://psknitting.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 8, 2008. Http:/ www.savethechildren.org/programs/health/child-survival/survive-to-5/knit-one-save-one.html. Save the Children is having a campaign for knitters and crocheters to make a cap - 9-11 inches/23-28 cm in diameter to be sent to regions of the world where babies die at an alarming rate because there is no way to keep them warm. Something as simple as a knit cap can change that! Watch this space for patterns. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

LovePurl: March 2008

http://lovepurl.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Stitching for Love and Charity. Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Socks for Warm Woolies. Well, I finished my first pair of socks for Warm Woolies last night whilst watching Dancing with the Stars. The cuffs are a little funny looking because I had to go back and add on to the them, since I misread the pattern originally. Oh well! They now fold over perfectly :). They were knit with Reynolds Lopi, so are fairly thick. Friday, March 7, 2008. Two Packages Going Out. There was no request for this on their website.

Puget Sound Knitting: W&T

http://psknitting.blogspot.com/2007/10/w.html

Thursday, October 4, 2007. I get so used to abbreviations that I forget that not everyone knows them. W&T means wrap the stitch and turn your work to knit/purl in the opposite direction = a short row. One then picks up the wrap with the stitch to work it when one next encounters it. Short rows are useful for lengthening the back of a sweater, making darts for shaping and sock heels and toes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Puget Sound Knitting: unexpected day off!

http://psknitting.blogspot.com/2007/09/unexpected-day-off.html

Wednesday, September 26, 2007. After weeks of very high census, we are down to a handful of babies and I was given an unexpected day off! This hospital calls it an ASD (I still do not know what it stands for, other than atrial septal defect - a hole in the upper chambers of the heart. All I know is it means I get to stay home and play.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Afghans for Afghans Knit-along blog. Children in Common Yahoo Group.
