I mistakenly took a lace scarf with me last night to my book group I've spent the morning ripping!

I picked up a big picnic basket cheap a couple of weeks ago--it's the size of a 20-qt cooler. Nice wicker exterior. Over the past few days I put my UFOs and the materials to finish them into pint, quart, or gallon ziplocs or Walmart bags with the handles loosely tied and tossed them in. Keeps them out of sight but handy, not to mention dust/moth/cat free! And I've managed to finish 2 of the smaller projects in the past 2 days (restringing a broken pearl neclace and making a knitter's rowcounter abacus type bracelet).

I think having them handy really helps. It is nice to know I'm not the only one with a lot of UFO's.

I've always loved the Feather and Fan stitch, thinking it like poetry in stitches. This summer I've been experimenting with shaping with the stitch and am knitting a shrug with a wrap extension which I'm kind of loving. The colors are a ripening meld of berry colors like raspberry merging into blueberry with deep purple -- very autumn.

Very nice, Marge
My friend is knitting baby bonnets, mittens, and blankets for the homeless shelters
She knits them all summer long so the little ones will have them when the colder weather gets here

Wow, that is ambitious and very helpful. Is she doing this on her own or is she part of a group?
