KnittingMany of our knitters and crocheters donate their projects to whichever organization they have a personal connection or passion for...Amy is one of those persons. Her story:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Trisha's Noah was born prematurely on 6/4/04 and passed away on 6/5/04. She bought this yarn to make a blanket to donate in his honor to Project Linus. She didn't crochet yet and started a knit pattern but it didn't go well. She tried a few times but it was put away for years. After I started knitting, we were talking about it and I told her I'd finish it for her. I got the yarn when we met in Chicago this summer. I had trouble with the pattern as it was, so with her permission, I frogged it and began anew. This blanket will be donated to our local Project Linus chapter and is in honor of him. It's Noah's blanket.</span><br /><br /><br /><br />The blanket she's finished:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/august%20september%202011/?action=view&current=IMG_3042.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/august%20september%202011/IMG_3042.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/august%20september%202011/?action=view&current=IMG_3043.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/august%20september%202011/IMG_3043.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />If you want to learn more about Project Linus, see our sidebar for a link directly to the organization.Quad Cities S&Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17775278052505726420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540051.post-76391988363589470922011-08-28T11:12:00.004-05:002011-08-28T22:00:02.449-05:00Summer Winds DownWe're in the last few weeks of summer here...school is back in session, cooler temps and less humidity.

<br />Here's a hat that Nancy knit for her brother:

Seriously, this weather we're having is typical Midwest early Spring. It doesn't get truly warm on a consistent basis until the second week of June around here, so some of us are still knitting items to keep warm with...<br /><br />Cindy brought booties in two sizes:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2481.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2481.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2482.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2482.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />Jackie finished the baby blanket she had been knitting:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2483.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2483.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2484.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2484.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />And some hats she crocheted:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2485.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2485.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2486.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2486.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />Jeanne had a lovely shawl in pinks and lace:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2490.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2490.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2491.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2491.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2492.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2492.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />And she had some decorative knitting:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2494.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2494.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=IMG_2495.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/IMG_2495.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />Karen wasn't able to join us this week, so I stole her photo of the coat she finished knitting and sewing the faux fur on the cuffs:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/?action=view&current=karencoat.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/03-30-2011/karencoat.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><br />And if this all weren't enough?

The rest of the yarn went to the Bettendorf Public Library for a youth knitting program coming up at the end of March. The rest of the items that were unclaimed went to Goodwill.<br /><br />Now, I think that our Lynn was the person that knitted and crocheted these lovely items, but I've been wrong before!<br /><br

adorable baby dress and booties:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/January%20thru%20March%202011/?action=view&current=IMG_2373.jpg" target="_blank"><img

her usual lovely, intricate knitting:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/January%20thru%20March%202011/?action=view&current=IMG_2382.jpg" target="_blank"><img

these wee baby socks:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/January%20thru%20March%202011/?action=view&current=IMG_2384.jpg" target="_blank"><img

crocheted this pretty blanket:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/January%20thru%20March%202011/?action=view&current=IMG_2399.jpg" target="_blank"><img

project, and I think it deserves the gold stars it has on it:<br /><br /><a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/quadcitysnb/January%20thru%20March%202011/?action=view&current=IMG_2401.jpg"
