What's Next?



Simone finished her 7 pairs.

How about you?

Seriously, if mittn knittn isn't your thing, I certainly understand.

But if you are like me and love to knit, at some point, you are going to run out of People That You Know to knit for. And you can only wear so many [fill in the blank--socks, hats, scarves, sweaters] yourself. Newer knitters are shaking their heads in disbelief, but the more experienced among us are nodding in unison out there.

It might be time to branch out.

The blitz for the Rez ends this week (I will be collecting and posting Mittn photos for a short while yet and drawing for the Prizez on October 7). If you are searching for a suitable repository for your knitted works (and someone/something worthy of your attention), please consider Covenant House in NOLA.

The Snake Lady (who pronounced it a "garter," btw) has put out the word that New Orleans residents and homeless people need washable warm clothes. Hats, wristers, scarves and "fluffy-size" sweaters are especially needed. Things that are fashionable and suitable for teens are especially desired. (Also black pants and white dress shirts--wait-staff uniforms.) Acrylic, blends, superwash wool. Deeper, darker, brighter colors (because washing might be iffy). Winter is cold and damp in the Big Easy. Your pair of wristers might make it possible for a resident to be comfortable while getting his/her life back after TWO FREAKIN' YEARS OF DISASTEROUS FOOT DRAGGING BY THE POWERS THAT BE. ::ahem:: But I feel better.

The address for mailing:

Covenant House
611 N Rampart Street
New Orleans, LA 70112

I'm working on a scarf of that wonderful Aussie stuff that Nanna sent me. Hats will be next.
