This client (left) is showing her felted bag while the bag on the right is in the final stages of knitting before felting and I have the finished bag below. She made a blue button today for the bag. 
Here is the finished afghan by our new crocheter. 
Here is our knitted blanket that the clients love to create using odds and ends and part skeins that we receive.
Here is is modeling her unfelted bag. 
This is a black and gold bag to be felted but needs to be much larger. 
Here is a bag that is almost ready for felting. 
We received this wool yarn that someone had in storage. Our clients have put it to use in felted handbags.
This is the blue bag felted. Look at how small it got!
This is Marcella getting the button extravaganza going. 
Above buttons on the toaster oven tray and below already baked. 
This is Sandra! She hopes to come back because the clients want to teach her how to knit. Today was the first time she visited us. 
Here are the clients working on the buttons. 
Our summer volunteer Marcella has been watching all of the women create handbags and noticed something missing! We didn't know that she is a button artist. She suggested a botton making clinic and she brought her artist friend, Sandra, toaster ovens, a pasta maker, samples of what they made, and we had about 25 budding button artists working with polymer clay. It was great fun and I will photo the buttons on the handbags after they are felted. We had several new clients and they got started on learning how to knit with their first project, a washcloth. Thanks Marcella, Sandra, and all of the knitters who write to us and who have sent yarn and needles on to us.
