STOUFFVILLE NOVEMBER MEETING

This was our last meeting for 2012, we are taking December off but will be working at home. Every one is so busy getting ready for the holidays, so I thought it will be best for us to concentrate on holiday things.

Here is a scarf from Pat,

And this gorgeous blanket.

Lots of hat and scarf sets from Christine,

and this beautiful baby blanket.

Two scarves from Mary's yarn, Monica sewed the ends in.

Some very small blankets that we donated to us and Monica put them together to make them larger.

They look great! Thanks Monica.

Here a few cowls using up my Boa yarn.

Well every one, I hope you lots of fun shopping and baking for the holidays. I know that Casting off the Cold will be some place in the back of your head. Thanks again for all the wonderful stuff you made this year.

DONATION ON NOVEMBER 8TH

Siobhan did the honors of delivering to New Market. Here she is chatting with Melissa at the Rose Of Sharon about the blankets and toys that were donated. Each year we donate about 50 baby blankets to them.

and it is very much appreciated.

And at the YRWC  is Sharon who works there showing some of the items donated to them.
They receive some thing for every one and I am sure they will all love them.

Each year we try our best to give more than the year before. But unfortunately we did not receive enough for our down town charities. Lets hope we will do better this coming year.
Tanks again to all who have worked on all the items to help a good cause.
