Your Support Means the World to Me
I am receiving notes, privately as well as through my comments, that you folks are pulling together totebags for my CityKidz. Thank you so much for your support, it really means a lot. The kids know that everything they use comes from you and they do ask me to pass on their thanks.
Cousin Karen sent a box last week with significant high-quality goodies (yarns) in it. I think she collected from her friends as well as her own stash. Everyone got to pick one ball out of the box when I opened it, even the slowest/newest kids in the crowd. I put the rest away in our storage drawers for regular use.
My mitten-inventor knit her mittens from her first choice out of that box. She also has already knit most of an armwarmer out of some green Kool Wool and she knit an MP3 player sleeve with what looks like some handspun yarn from Kool-Aid dyed roving in greens and turquoises. She also put a good number of pretty buttons on it for decoration, and the buttons mostly came from my friend YarnFairy (may she rest in peace) about a year ago. Here is a picture of that lovely creation for your enjoyment.
