A hand knitted or hand crocheted gift is the ultimate gift of yourself. It shows you care. And it doesn't have to be fancy or complicated to be heartfelt and appreciated! This basic watch cap and 1 x 1 ribbed scarf knitted with MADELINETOSH PASHMINA WORSTED yarn are a perfect example. After you knit something lovely for yourself or a loved one this season, consider using that leftover skein of yarn and knit up an extra hat or scarf for charity, you'll be glad you did in more ways than one. Knit on, friends:)
'Tis the season for EVERYONE. With the weather turning colder and thoughts of Thanksgiving and gift-giving in the air, what greater gift of thanks could anyone give than sharing a hand knitted or hand crocheted hat, scarf, or pair of mittens/gloves with someone less fortunate than oneself? Woolwinders Yarn Shop is pleased to once again be collecting much needed and much appreciated knitted and crocheted items for the ORIGINAL PANCAKE HOUSE'S ANNUAL CHRISTMAS COMMUNITY BREAKFAST for the disadvantaged in our area during which your donated items will be distributed. Please consider DONATING at least one item at Woolwinders for this worthwhile cause between NOVEMBER 15th and DECEMBER 15th. You and someone else will be very glad you did. Thank you, friends. For more information on how you can help, contact Kathryn Winsberg at k.winsberg@gmail.com.
