Charity Knitting

I sent off my Dulaan package last Friday. Postage got quite expensive. I should have remembered to send it out before the price increases.
A view of everything spread out on my cedar chest. Total was six hats, two scarves, 4 sets of mittens, one sweater, and one sweater/coat. Not bad for my first year... I think my goal for this year will be five sweaters and five pairs of socks. Seems to me that those would be the objects they get the least of just because they take the most time (and I'm sick of making hats). I have a bunch of old tapestry wool that one of mom's friends gave me that should make really cute striped stuff.

In other news, I think I'm giving up on the contest... only trillian and turtlegirl even tried.. what happened was that I plied the yarn two ratios up from where I spun it... yikes, made for some really stiffly plied wool. Since I just sent turtlegirl something totally unrelated, I guess that means it's trillian's turn and she wins :) So Trill, yarn or fiber?
