WHAT IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?

Below are some of the finished product of our knitting ministry at my church and where I am a "knitting beginner" - I have always wanted to learn to knit (I do know crochet) and this was the perfect opportunity for me to learn with some really experienced knitters. I love the red, white and blue of the scarves. As you can see these are "no-frills" scarves as they have no fringe. These are being made for the homeless at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission.

This is our teacher Cheryl (seated) pulling yarn out of her bag to show Gladys some of the colors available for her project.



These are the experienced ladies who are amazing at whipping up hats and scarves!


I chose blue as the color choice of my first project. I made so many mistakes on this first scarf I'm embarrassed, but the scarf will keep someone very warm this winter! The small "round" in the center is my sample work - I worked on this one all August. Someone said you must always keep the first item you knit - so this is mine.



Here is the finished blue scarf - please don't judge me :)



The burgandy that I'm presently working on...


...and I even surprised myself with how this one turned out!


Then, of course, there are the drawing lessons I've been taking which has taken up a surprisingly large amount of time. I'll have a project to show later.
