Kangaroos

Near my mother's place in Germany is a farmer who has kangaroos. Here they are at dinner time:



On the left is mom with the baby in her pouch, on the left is the off-spring from last year. The dad is currently living somewhere else. So cute!!

Keeping Children Warm

Wool-Aid is a charity that knits for children in very cold climates. In the past, we were able to send items to Tibet, Mongolia, Canada, Afghanistan, etc. Here are some hats I finished recently.
Wool-Aid uses only wool (at least 80%) for the extra warmth. All of the hats are made from various stash yarns double or triple stranded to create a dense, warm fabric. More info: wool-aid.org

The patterns used (Thorpe, Quynn, and Ear Cozy) can be found on Ravelry.

Some Thorpes:


Some Quynns:


And some Ear Cozies.

Back!!! Finally.

It is hard to believe that is has almost (as in 3 days short) been a year since my last update. Let's rectify that.

Here are the newest colors available as of today:

SPRING - the name says it all.


SAND - a tone-in-tone combo of grey-blues and khaki


DELICIOUS - as in apples
