Looking for a Charity knit project?


And a helmet liner! Posted by Picasa

If you have been thinking about knitting a helmet liner for the troops, here's a pic of one I did! EASY as a hat, so don't hesistate--do it! You can find the pattern and more info at the link above. Or click below...
HELMET LINER

There are a couple of better pictures at this site, too, of examples of helmet liners.

Could these REALLY be the socks I started so long ago????


Oh! Look what I found in my picture files! Posted by Picasa

Who knows how long ago I started, but these were completed in August! (YAY, ME! A completed project is quite the accomplishment for me!)

And a close-up of...how uneven my stitches are!


A closer-up detail, though there is not much to see! Hopefully, those who are familiar with this pattern can't notice that I missed the entire first row and was too lazy to tear back and add it in...I fell behind with these and have only maybe doubled the size of the cuffs on these to date!  Posted by Picasa

I am happy to report that by now, my stitches are looking a tad bit more even. I am putting blind faith in EZ's statement that over time the stitches all work themselves even! (OK, maybe it is just my laziness and resistance to frogging...)

Trust me, though, I am not a perfectionist and know that my pudgy legs will stretch the pattern enough to MAKE the stitches even!
