Hi Diana
Sometime ago we spoke and I
mentioned the charity summer project our machine knit club was doing.
Eight of us ladies from the Kawartha
Carriage Knit Club where working on scarves for a charity in our local area. Each of us started a scarf (most of
us did two) and then placed it in a paper bag and we meet at each others homes
and exchanged projects without looking into the bag. The idea was to not look at the
progress on each scarf as we meet, each person only got to see the scarf (or
scarves) they took home to work the next section on.
We had all agreed to use either our
mid-gauge or bulky machine and keep the width around the 30 to 38
stitches and knit approximately eight inches a section.
As we are all at different levels of
knitting we had an open option of pattern to knit but to also consider trying
new stitches to challenge ourselves. We agreed also to use an acrylic
yarn that was suitable for the given machines and what ever color we felt went
with the already scarf in progress.
Six of us took turns making lunch (
and they where delicious lunches with the some wonderful desserts) and we
would go home with a different (new to us) scarf to work on until we meet up again. It was a great learning experience
and a pleasure to visit with each other over lunch and build on our
friendships.
They are now complete and gift
bagged up ready to be deliver to the charity in our area as a little warmth of
caring to ladies in need of compassion.
Us ladies in the group
pictures Margaret, Marg, Betty, Barb, Nancy (myself), Pat and
the two missing from the pictures are Krys and Ialean.
I hope you have enjoyed hearing a
little what other knitters are doing.
Thank-you & enjoy
Nancy
