Yarn Ball#5

Two baskets and a knitting machine are being raffled off. Buy lots of raffle tickets. You could get a prize far below the item's value. I did not put a picture of the knitting machine; it's in its box.

Yarn Ball#4

These items are from Cari Clement who sent us items from her book Embellished Crochet (which we have signed copies of for you to purchase). Thank you again, Cari, you and Caron were very generous. These are special items since you can say,"Look, I have the exact item that was photographed for this book."

Yarn Ball#3

These are not all the afghans. We have 5 or 6 that are being offered in a silent auction and 1 for outright donation. While I am trying to show you as many things as possible, some of the things were never photographed and some I'll just miss because I'm looking at so many pictures. While I'm trying to give you a good overview, there's just more than you'll see here.

Yarn Ball #2

The top two pix are of new items: a Highlands Bear, knitted braided scarf, and bobble necklaces.

Only the newborn size frog hat, and certainly not the baby.

The Yarn Ball Item Review #1

Starting today I'll be posting the items available at the yarn ball for auction, raffle or suggested donation sale. There won't be a lot of details. Come to the Ball on the 14th and see everything for yourself.

Some More Items for the Yarn Ball

                                                                                        This week I finished up 3 more items that will be available at the yarn ball. The white shawl is hairpin lace crochet. KJ graciously modeled the 2nd campus military cap, a size smaller than the gray one. The 3 peas in the pod are ready for tossing.

A Different Wool Talent

                                                                                Joyce came to the latest meeting with her mom, Marilyn. Marilyn is new to the group and has decided she would like to attend regularly. Joyce came to see why Marilyn was enjoying the group so much. 

Joyce doesn't knit or crochet; she needlefelts and makes truly interesting dolls. The little lady with the finlike attachments down her spine is going to be mailed to a winner of a project by the Pink Artists. These are artists using their skills to raise money for breast cancer research. This is a completed creation and she garnered a lot of attention from our group as well as patrons of Panera's. 

The  smaller blue creature is not yet finished. Joyce was working on another creature that you can see has an interesting tail already. Joyce belongs to a doll making group. but we enjoyed her visit and thought she belonged with us, too. After all roving is just unspun yarn!
