So many things, Need a time blessing

Well, things are busy as ever. My dd was home from college for the holidays. It was her first trip home. She really only wants to be here to get free laundry and see any other friends that are home from college. She has a service project she wants to do in Chicago. So I have knit up 25 hats for her to take with her and share. I have also worked on the Caps for the Capital Campaign sponsored by Warm Up America. Our school, Totino-Grace High School, is participating and has a goal of 100 hats by Christmas break. We are close. We have 91 so far and 4 weeks to complete an additional 9 hats. We should be fine. At the school Thanksgiving Mass we had 50 caps, and 33 scarves blessed by the Bishop. The scarves and a shawl were sent off right away to Olympia, Washington. I have to fix my sweaters for my niece and nephews. Then block them and a shawl. Then work on a few more hats. I currently have a shawl and a pair of leg warmers on the needles.
My secret pal sent me a gift certificate for some yarn off the internet. So I ordered some lovely dk peace fleece. This will be going into the shawl that I am making. This is all so very exciting.
Not much else is new. Projects continue and I feel like I am always behind. Wish I could get enough done so I felt like the knitting room was organized rather than a cluttered mess.
Have a wonderful week!
Blessings

Time Flies

I know, I know. It's already November and I haven't posted. I have received 2 beautiful shawls in the mail. I will only be able to show you one, as I had to send a box of shawls and scarves off asap to NJ. I went up to St. Cloud last Friday, and learned more about knitting hats adults and premies and making a rectangle shawl. I will go up at Christmas and see what it is like to do diffent pattern stitches on the machine. Right now, I need to manage squares and retangles. I have been exstremely busy with something every night after school. I bring my knitting with me though so at least when I feel rushed, I can relax once I get there. I made a second shawl on the machine but you can't see it because it too went off to NJ. The weather is exceptionally warm and dry in Minnesota this fall. So much so that the land up north the wells are running dry and they do not have enough water for daily living. We need a good soaking rain, before the snow. I know these are random ramblings so I better stop now and fill you in when I am more together. Until then.
