Just a quick update. The dark blue hat (worked flat lower left of first pic) is being finished by Susan M. and another hat you cannot see in any photo is being finished by Patti S. So when you add in Shelly, her friend Susan, and me - you get the fabulous five! Shelly's working on two hats and finishing up either a cowl or a scarf. I'm working on finishing up a scarf (that I'm turning into a cowl). I also completed the BRIGHT orange and…
Went up to Arctic Java to check on Giving Art... There were four finished items there; I was dropping off someone else's two finished items... AND there were three new projects started, plus it was clear at least two of the in progress items had been worked on. HOW COOL!

There will be crocheted and knitted items already started out of yarn that can be machine washed/dried. Sit and teach someone how to knit, purl or do the single crochet stitch. Needles, hooks and…
I just like yarn. I like warm things in winter. I like the tactile feel of working on something stitch by stitch. I believe in sharing and teaching. Sad, right? Next month (October), a girlfriend and I will be putting up a "Living Art" display as part of the Monsters & Legends UAF staff and student show at Arctic Java's gallery. Arctic Java is the coffeehouse located inside of the Wood Center. You need to go. Just to see the beautiful space. Or go to catch a…
