Results of Haiti Fundraising and FO
Well, at this point, I think most everyone is thinking more about the Olympics than they are about Haiti. But over here at Neighborhood Fiber Co., we’re just wrapping up two weeks of mini-fundraising. I’m happy to report that Neighborhood Fiber Co. was able to donate $45 to Oxfam America’s Haiti relief effort. Not a ton of money, but every little bit helps!
And, an FO that I’ve had finished for a very long time. The Boneyard Shawl (rav link) modeled by my friend Katie was knit for the wonderful Meaghan of ohmeaghan fame. Meaghan is one of those people that I met in the months before I left the DC area (along with Becky) who made me sad that I was leaving. Luckily, these here interwebs make it easier to stay in touch with people, though I do miss out on the opportunity to just hang out and craft. This scarf/shawl thing was supposed to be a Christmas present, but we knitters know how that can go sometimes. I finally finished knitting it and sent it out to Meaghan and I hope it’s a nice reminder of me in the cold weather!
