Food Drive 2020

I'm showing the Felted Tweed shawl again for two reasons. It is so beautiful and I wanted to show the colours used.

The pattern will only be available in the kit of 6 or 12 balls.

Here is the purple combination that I put together today. I would love to see this knit up but it might be too soon to ask Lynda to knit the shawl again. I'm going to send her something else tomorrow and then after that we will talk.

This is another gorgeous combination that Rowan put together.

What am I sending Lynda?? I am sure she is wondering the same thing.

New colours of Noro Akari are coming tomorrow and she is going to knit us another Nightshift with two of them. I'm not sure which yet. I want to see them in person.

It's Food Drive time again. We will be collecting food and cash donations until Friday March 6, 2020.

Our customers have been generous in the past and I hope that will happen again this year.

For every food item brought in you will get one ticket. You will get 10 tickets for $10 donated and 25 tickets for $20 donated. We will have one and possibly two baskets as prizes.

So far we have donations from

-Noro (various balls of yarn)
-Rowan (a bag of Rowan Felted Tweed)
-Blue Sky Fibers (a hat kit)
-Lykke Needles (a 3.5" interchangeable needle set)
-Biches & Buches (4 skeins of Le Petit Lambswool in 4 different colours)

Donations are coming from
-Namaste
-Madelinetosh

Our suppliers are very generous so I know the baskets will be awesome. I will be sending out many more emails over the next week.

All food and money collected is divided between 7 agencies in Ancaster and Hamilton.

If you live out of town you can call to donate and if you win we will ship the gift basket anywhere in Canada.

Maybe you can't donate right now but please consider donating to your local food bank when you can. It is a hard time of the year for these agencies. Any help is appreciated.
