All ready to go..........

I finally got all 10 learn to knit project bags together with the help of Angie; she supplied eight sets of needles and another lady supplied two sets of needles.  I did the rest, and off it went in the mail on Friday:

Each bag contains a pattern, ball of yarn (enough to make an adult hat) a set of needles and a stitch marker.
 I picked all bright colours for this set.
They are going to a ladies/girls group in Northern Manitoba and they will be learning to knit.  Any kits leftover I told the organizer to donate them to someone in their community.  I also included extra patterns and a couple of free knitting kits for a bookmark and a soft toy I got in magazines.

I plan on putting together another box in a couple of months time.

Such a great idea! I'm sure they will be much appreciated.

Gill, people are always giving me knitting needles. Is there some way I could donate them to your cause? I gave about a dozen sets to a lady in my area but she doesn't want/need any more.

That will keep you quite busy.

We Will Rock You............

On Wednesday we went downtown Toronto to see the musical We Will Rock You at the Ed Mirvish theatre.  We were given some money for Christmas...
