I’m still using up some of my “old” yarn. The scarf was made from yarn I found in a bin in our closet that probably came from the thrift shop. It had some fluff but no texture so I used a seed stitch in the pattern.

The hats were made from a single skein I purchased not long ago from a yarn shop in Courtenay or Comox – they both have lovely shops. The pattern I purchased for the yarn was a baby sweater but I really don’t do sweaters anymore so used it up this way. Two of the hats are the same pattern but knit on two different sizes of needles. The third one is a smaller size; I ran out of yarn the first time I knit on it so I had to take it out and start over.

All of this will be donated to the Salvation Army.

I’ve lost count of the number of shawls I’ve made with this pattern. It may be boring to work on, but it is perfect for textured yard. I’m happy to have a place to donate it; it has already gone to the church and it didn’t sit long (if at all) in their donation bin.

I had one ball each of these three yarns. Although three balls are enough for a shawl I didn’t think the three colours would go together all that well. So I made three different scarves in different sizes.

The darker blue is quite a wide scarf, the lighter blue is narrower and longer. The purple was narrower but not as long as it should be for a scarf so I joined the ends together to make it into a cowl.

These three pieces will be donated.

I love this textured yarn for my triangular shawl pattern. I admit though that it is rather boring when it comes to knitting it. I thought I it was large enough with a little more than a skein left so I ended it off and knit a matching scarf.

The shawl will be a donation to the Church for their Prayer Shawl Ministry. They have always welcomed my contributions and have even offered me yarn if I need it – I definitely don’t!

The scarf will be set aside for donation to the Salvation Army in honour of Mum’s birthday. It thought a scarf was more appropriate to their clientele than a shawl.
