They're mine... all mine!


A dear friend of mine just made these gorgeous stitch markers for me today :) They're mine - you can't have them. Although I'm sure she could be persuaded to make more. Her Etsy store is here. Go check her out! (Her bracelets are here on my blog further down on the right hand side.

I can't wait to get them :)

My first Connor Cap


Okay - it's not the most beautiful you've ever seen I'm sure. But it's done! Gray one to follow.

Connor's Caps

To any knitter who happens to be reading here (or friends of knitters!) I am working on a project that we can use help on!

There is a little boy named Connor (a friend of mine's, oldest son's, best friend - can ya follow?) who has been diagnosed with brain cancer. It's very rare. He needs our prayers for sure. He was apprehensive about the chemo he needs because he knew he'd lose his hair. (9-year-olds are so amazing!) Of course he's forging ahead but his classmates would like to shave their heads in a show of solidarity. HOWEVER, they live in Wisconsin!! They need hats!

We're trying to get about 200 hats to my friend by December 1 so that all the kids in school can have a "Hat day" in honor of Connor. If you might be able to knit a hat, please let me know! If not, prayers and good thoughts are definately appreciated.

Comment me if you'd like more info and thanks!
