On the way to keep others warm!

Part of empty nest is going through a life time of Things. I went to the attic to check out how many things I had and I found this.



She is so sweet!



I have no idea how she got in the attic but she is home now.



On their way to a new home.

The school I teach in is 6 years old. In the summer the air often doesn't work but in the winter it works great! The classrooms get very cold and I made these for a coworker.
The pattern is Raspberry Mitts which is a free pattern by Tidewater Knits.



This scarf is for the son of a new friend who feels like an old friend.
He started an upscale NYC high school and will be doing a great deal of walking in the city on cold days.


I hope this keeps him warm.


My family is blessed to have the L family as friends.
This scarf is for Papa JL who wears a scarf at all times.


JL has multiple sclerosis but doesn't let it hold him down. He holds a full time job and whenever you talk to him he has a smile on his face and is inspirational.

The gloves I'm making Mama ML and Daughter/College Freshmen AL are ready for the last fitting.


I've started the second Almeara Glove which already is better than the first. I will have to make another pair so they both match.

I love the bear! I love that her bag says "Knitting is my bag" that is too cute!

I am still so in love with those Jared Flood gloves- if I could stop knitting for other people for five minutes I swear I would cast on for them! You are doing a truly beautiful job with them.

Wow! I can't believe how productive you've been. I especially love the Almeara Gloves. The teddy bear is gorgeous! How fortunate you found her.

Faith said...

I love your knitting! Could you tell me the name of the patterns for the scarves? (Is Almeara the name of the pattern or the yarn? I love both!) Thanks so much!!!
