As the year comes to an end it is obvious that I will not meet my personal goal for 20 pairs of slippers and 30 hats. It's disappointing but I will chalk it up to a number of things going on in my personal life. C'est la vie, there is always next year. But on the positive side, I did achieve my goal for the number of blankets made.

We surpassed the goal for this year by 21! A big thank you to all who helped out.
With recent donations we are almost a third of the way to the 100 item goal. Yahoo! Keep those hats, ear warmers, headbands, scarves, mittens and gloves coming.
I’ve been going crazy working on a personal project so very little time as been spent crocheting. Last weekend was the Creativ Festival in Toronto so while I was sitting in the booth for the crochet guild I belong to I managed to whip up a couple of hats. I’m way off target for this year. C’est la vie, there’s only so many hours in a day.
I just discovered this wonderful blog A Girl and Her Yarn and she has some free hat and scarf patterns that you might wish to try.
Unfortunately it's that time of year again; time to start thinking about those who need a little help dealing with the elements as the weather changes. I've started a personal hat, headband and scarf challenge. Where has the summer gone, can you believe that it's officially fall? I'm in denial so don't expect to see a lot of activity on this thermometer until the temperature starts to take a drastic change for the worse... winter... burrrrrrrrrrr.
I was bound and determined to finish off a blanket I started a couple of months ago, ta dah, here's the latest blanket. The blanket is constructed of a series of plain granny squares assembled by using the join-at-you-go technique.
I've finally reached my goal for the year with 3.5 months left to go. Let's see how many more blankets I can make by the end of the year.
I'm now one blanket away from the goal I set for this year, hoorah! Next month I should not only meet it but topple it as I have a couple of blankets on the go. Here's the latest blanket. A community organization put a call out for textured and colourful squares that could be made into blankets for autistic children. Here's the blanket I donated.
I found another crochet along which features squares that are probably more suited to someone with intermediate crochet skills or someone up for a challenge. Interweave Crochet has started a Chain Reaction Afghan Crochet-Along!
