A Year of Giving - January - Baby Llama Chunky - Lush Life Scarf

This year we will be featuring a pattern each month with the theme of giving. For each pattern we will give away enough yarn to make the project and draw a winner. Each month will feature a new pattern and we will select a winner from the blog and a winner through Facebook. This month's winners will be selected on Monday, March 28 at 3 pm. To enter on the blog comment below with your favorite project to make for giving.

 This month, we are featuring a scarf I designed in Baby Llama Chunky - Lush Life Scarf. I started crocheting again in December since I was unable to knit for a while after elbow surgery. I wanted to create a gift for a neighbor that has been a wonderful friend to my family. I thought a dressy scarf would give her warm and a hug when she needed it - with the added bonus of being in her favorite color.

    I like to make hats - I give them to schools, the cancer society and the group that helps the homeless. I love Cascade yarns and wish the yarn stores in town hadn't gone out of business.

    I knit hats and socks for give aways, as well as fingerless gloves, we live in an area that the winters are cold and fairly long, so these are essentials...

    My favorite thing to knit and give away is hats. I make between 5 and 13 dozen hats for a local school districts clothing bank. I try to make them as colorful as possible in an array of sizes. To break things up I knit and weave scarfs. Usually a dozen or spa year.

    I am just learning to knit. But I’m having a lot of fun with it though I still need a little more practice before I make anything worthy of gift giving or wearing out myself even. A true beginner of beginners. When I’m a little more experienced, I’d like to make socks and house slippers for everybody in the family. Perhaps even the dogs since their little feet get so cold in Washington in the winter. Do they make waterproof yarn I wonder for such a project?? That would be awesome but I’m not going to get my hopes up too high on that last one. But curling up on the couch in comfortable clothes and socks to watch tv with my four legged family members is what I live for...sometimes;) Lots of feet to keep warm. I should stay busy for awhile on that project.

    I like to make all kinds of things. Last year I made & gifted a shawl, 2 ponchos, cowls, hats & a lapghan. Most of these things were given to widows or older single ladies at church.

LYS Tour - The Knitting Tree LA

Local Yarn Shops provide community, education, friendship, and social connections. These past months have been challenging for small businesses; everyone is finding their own way to adapt. I wanted to use this blog to offer a series of postings, featuring some fabulous yarn shops and share their stores. I hope you enjoy my virtual yarn crawl.
