Caps on the way to the Capital!

50 caps are on their way to the Capital! This has been a collaborative effort with the women at Curves, me and my Mother. By the way, the beautiful woman holding the caps, is, yes, you guessed it, my Mom. She is here visiting us from Simi Valley, CA and will be staying through til December. If anyone is from Simi Valley, give a shout-out to her. It's fun to have her here as we are having a good time knitting and crocheting. I am on vacation this week and will be attempting to teach her how to crochet. A bit awkward after knitting, but she is getting the hang of it.

Well, off to the post office I go and then home to start my second 50.

What have I been up to? Making Caps for the Capitol!

I know that I haven't written in about a month, so let me catch you up-to-date. I have been busy crocheting and knitting Caps for the Capitol for the Save the Children Organization (www.savethechildren.org). If you have not heard about this special organization, they are asking all crocheters and knitters to make caps for newborns and then on December 9th, the caps will be sent to President Bush to try to get funds targeted for helping newborns survive by covering their heads to keep them warm. I have recently joined "Curves" (weight-loss program) and have made proposed a challenge for crocheters and kniters to make a cap for every pound that they lose. To-date, I have lost 25 pounds and have made 34 caps, plus additional ones from the members that took my challenge. If you are interested, please go to their website and download the free patterns.
