Charity knitting



Here are some of the preemie afghans I have been knitting....


The pink and white one has various blocks including an angel block. The blue one is strictly a simple dishcloth pattern, but in blanket size....
I have been working hard on UVA afghans for Heartfelt Angels... for UVA Homecoming in October... So far I have finished four and have another in the works.... I don't know how many I will get done, but I am giving myself until some time in September as a goal... or whenever I fill my big box...
I am also working on a list of Christmas presents... I will have to get started soon on that.....if I expect to finish everything....
I will post pictures of the UVA items before shipping.. as they really fit this page nicely.

VT and UVA....sibling rivalry

Ok so here it is.. sibling rivalry.. yes... VT and UVA.... Hoos and Hokies...

I took a picture of my UVA Crocs with my UVA socks... what a bomb.... I love them, I love them, I love them...... I got the UVA Crocs in Roanoke VA [believe it or not] At Walkabout Outfitters on the Roanoke Market....

And now for a big surprise... I have a friend who I have known since she was a young teen [she's in her 20's now]. She is pregnant and is a Virginia Tech Grad... so here is part of my present for her. They are knit with Cascade Fixation. I love this yarn [ I have two pair of socks on the needles in different colors. The pattern is Christine's Baby Booties from the Fuzzy Galore site



These are supposed to be the "stay on" kind. A friend of mine who is in her mid/late fifties says she used to see this type of bootie years ago....
