]]> 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!

]]> Back in October, I wrote up a pattern for Neighborhood Fiber Co’s Walking Tour of DC Sock Club.  The deal with Sock Club is that patterns and colors are exclusive for 6 months.  Well I completely forgot that 6 months has LONG since passed and I could have posted the pattern back in April!  Anyway, here it is!  The free pattern for the Election Season Sock (rav link).
