As of this writing, Knit for Food has raised $541,032, more than what we raised last year! Donations will be distributed equally to No Kid Hungry, Meals on Wheels, Feeding America, and World Central Kitchen.

My little team of one raised $305 and based on the number of donors (and, yes, I include myself), I’ll be sending $50 to a local food bank, Second Harvest of the Big Bend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was an exciting and fun fundraiser during an extremely difficult time for our country. My deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed, either by knitting or donating or both. It just goes to show what we can do when we do it together.

As far as my knitting goes …

This design plus these yarns …

In the above photo, you can see the sample I had started to test the pattern. Then I got serious.

As you can see from the two photos above, several hours of knitting didn’t get me very far. I consider myself a fast knitter, but the yarn is quite fuzzy and thin. I need to knit slowly otherwise I’ll be dropping stitches.

So … My butt is tired and my fingers are tired, but I’m looking forward to continuing my work on this wrap. And I am just so thankful to have been a part of this wonderful experience. Many thanks to all of you who supported me.
