I have an idea!

I have some yarn - some worsted weight hand dyed yarn - that is not really selling but would make lovely socks and mitts - especially for kids who are in need. So here's the plan - if you promise to knit either socks or mitts (or both) I will send you the yarn for free - then you send the finished products back to me and I will donate them to the Yellow Brick House, which is a shelter for battered women in Aurora. How does that sound? Any takers?

Hi Sheri - when would you need the socks and mittens? I would love to take part if you don't mind the US shipping. Can the mittens be felted, they are warmer that way and almost waterproof?

Sorry Connie - I was talking to my friend Sheri on the phone when I typed the message and typed her name instead (I'll be 50 in December - was I having a senior moment, by the way she laughed her self sick when I told her). I would still love to knit the socks and mittens if you want.

What a great and generous idea! Is there a time limit? It's a bit hectic right now. I would love to knit something too, but rather hats. I haven't knit for little kids in quite a while.

Me, too, please. I've got a few more holiday orders to make (silver jewelry) and a show in early December, but after that I will need to do something entirely different, and right now all I want to do is knit. Especially socks.
