Busy Fingers

It has been a busy time since January. I have made several shawls or lap robes for our Prayer Shawl Ministry.




 Was also able to complete a blanket for Warren Parker, our newest great grandchild along with a toy to go with the blanket.  Had a lot of fun figuring out the characters for his blanket.

And as always there are socks, socks, socks both for family, Socks For Soldiers and some to save for our church Bazaar.





I even found the time to make a few daisy hot pads for a niece who really wanted to replace some made for her by my mom years ago.

Still working on the forever lace tablecloth but now the garden is calling and the weather is too nice to waste.

Socks began the year.

First knitted project for 2010 is a pair of OD regulation socks team knit with Peggy R. for Socks For Soldiers. I am so pleased that I was able to keep my commitment to send a package each month with two or more pair of socks. This dispite my broken shoulder in March. I think getting back to knitting even while in a sling helped my arm to heal. I have only a little residual damage to the use of my arm. I really think that the constant knitting helped as well as the months of physical therapy.
I was able to complete 126 projects last year with 32 pair of socks for the Socks For Soldiers project. I hope I am able to to as well this year. The team knitter who use antique knitting machines to knit the long, long legs for the regulation socks really helped to enable me to knit so many pair.
