Malawi Donations!

Knitted Donations!
As promised here are pictures of the adorable children that received the knitted items that I donated to the Crisis Ministry Nursery. The children are incredibly precious and I just want to take them home with me, for now I will have to be sated with donating knitted items for them. I want to thank my friends at World Camp for Kids for bringing my knitted items over to Malawi and giving them to the Crisis Ministry Nursery. Enjoy!
Until next time...same knit time....same knit channel!

Baby Showers Galore!!

Knitting Projects
I went to 2 baby showers for cousins over the past two weekends. You may be asking yourself, what does this have to do with knitting? Well, part of the presents I gave at the shower were knitted items. They are usually a hit because they are soft and cuddly and lets face it, everyone loves soft cuddly things. The first baby shower was for a cousin that is having a daughter. I didn't manage to finish everything I wanted to give in time for the shower to the hat will be sent later. Here are pictures of the knitting items:

For the next baby shower the couple decided they wanted the sex of the baby to be a surprise so I knit a brown hedgehog in addition to a few other gifts, one of which was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss (one of my husband's favorite books!)

 I hope that the children really enjoy their presents!

Charity Knitting Updates!
I know that I've been doing a lot of work recently focusing on my non-profit, Knit Around the World, and although that's incredibly important to me I don't want anyone to think I've forgotten about knitting for charity, the reason for the blog!  There will be another post later this week that will feature the photo's from the donations in Malawi at the Crisis Ministry Nursery. I have also been directed towards another charity Eastern European Russian Orphanages Project, where I will be working on knitting items and sending them for children that live in orphanages in Russia. Please check out their websites!
