Here are some (not many) photos from this week's knitting group. I have had technical difficulties lately. This week my chip ran out of memory (I missed a lot of beautiful projects),---- if it isn't my battery needing to be recharged it is my memory chip! Hopefully I am learning from all of this. Thanks to everyone who writes to us.

Our felted handbag gallery:

These are bits and pieces of fun fur turned into little drawstring bags for little girls!

Above: I finished the top for baby Maddie. Below Jean is working with the ladies. Jean is a volunteer here.

This is a soon to be finished sweater for Lucia's soon to be here grandbaby. Lucia is a volunteer here.

This is a sweater that our socklady is working on. She is taking some time off from socks for a minute. I will have to call her our sweater lady.

Happy Valentine's Day. Thanks for all of the good wishes from near and far. There is so much knitting going on I can't even keep up with the photos of all of the projects. We even have a bag created by one of the ladies made with lots of different fun far yarns and tied with a drawstring turning it into a backpack.

Below, a blanket in shades of blue.

Zelphia, our volunteer is telling us about the scarf she is wearing.
