Our ladies are also using the motto of the election: Yes We Can and Change for themselves as they go through their recovery process. Lots of knitting here and I have posted some of the photos from this week's knitting group.

Here are two new knitters learning.

Here is Zelphia, one of our volunteers, showing us her latest creations.

We have been busy here at Interim House. Above is a blanket that took weeks of selecting just the right colors and knitting the squares, then sewing them together, then attaching a border.





This new knitter is making scarves and hanbags. She was busy this past weekend and when I came in on Monday she showed me all of her finished projects.

What a great idea to attach a strap across!
And below two more felted bags.

Here is another finished Ireland flag scarf! (more flags are in the works!)

Leslie, our volunteer, is showing us a sweater she finished.

Lucia is working on a scarf and teaching the ladies a new stitch.
