Spud & Chloe

I spent yesterday afternoon knitting a few more hats. Beth will be making a trip to Mission Services this week to drop off what we have so far and we will be making at least one more trip down before Christmas.

Our pile includes
98 hats
41 scarves
7 pairs of mittens

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!!

We’re a group of dedicated staff and volunteers passionate about reducing poverty and restoring dignity to people who have been socially or financially marginalized.

This year we are expecting to prepare a Christmas program for more than 1500 adults and more than 1000 children.  We will provide a food hamper, toys for children and small gifts for the adults.
We also aim to provide warm winter clothing to our clients who frequently are in need of hats, scarves and mittens.  

Items can be dropped off in the store or at Mission Services - 196 Wentworth Street North.

I know that many of you don't live near the store. Please consider donating hats, mittens and scarves in your hometown. At a soup kitchen, food bank or women's shelter. Every community has people who are in need.

The week of December 9 we will have new enamel pins from Twill & Print. Just in time for last minute gifts.

We added Spud & Chloe Outer to the website today at a great price. It's time to say goodbye. The yarn is beautiful but we need room for new yarns that will be coming after Christmas. This is the Honeybear Hoodie - you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. There are 3 sizes to this cute jacket. 0-3 months, 4-8 months, 9-12 months. You need 3, 3, 4 skeins.

There are a lot of patterns on Ravelry that use the Outer.

Maker's Trunks should be in the store next week. I can't wait! One will be coming home with me.

Our Maker's Trunk was mindfully designed to bring a little bit of peace to your busy day-to-day life. With enough room to keep the essentials close by, the Maker's Trunk is the ideal way to carry your projects while minimizing clutter. The Trunk is ideal for storage at home, but the handles and latch closure allow you to safely and stylishly take your Trunk with you while you travel without worry. Including maker-specific features, such as two yarn feeders at the top of the trunk and adjustable trays, the Namaste Maker's Trunk is designed to help clear your mind and find Maker's Nirvana wherever you are.

I was up way too late last night watching football. The Grey Cup did not go the way I thought it was going to.
