Joining communities such as this is a fun way to enhance or crafting skills at the same time be able to share your crafts to people. I think it's great way to pick up new crafting ideas. I also want to share with you this site, http://www.christinascrafts.com.au/. I think the ideas in this site would be very helpful in the next crafts that you will be working on. :) This is a lovely idea.

Can't resist starting something new!

I wanted to create a group that was a natural extension to the crafting we were already doing for charities related to our church. So far we make prayer shawls, baby blankets, and scarves and hats for winter giving. We meet twice a month and work on either personal projects or ones for giving. Starting your own group is pretty simple. I put feelers out for interest and then just found a time to meet and hoped I wouldn't be the only one sitting at the table that night. Our first gathering we had 6-8 women. Yarn donations have also started coming in as more people become aware that we exist. Otherwise we buy our own yarn. I am finishing up some crocheted wash clothes and a lovely navy loom knit prayer shawl. I am just getting back into the swing of things after having my 2nd baby in June.

We will be dropping this off to the AHRC which has a home for autistic children. I am half done with my baby Afghan and am set with another 'Pound of Love' for my second.

I bought several colorways in worsted weight to add 3 or 4 of these to my growing squares collection. And they are fun to make in the multicolored print yarns!

They are so cute. Although I have committed to making scarfs I know I will be sneaking in a tini hat here and there. LOL Have a great day! Birgit Kim

I am now working on my 4th set for them. Have the sweater completed and am now knitting the gauge to see if the yarn is going to work for the booties or not. It's a great feeling to know you are doing your part to help someone who's needs are great.
