More Scarves and Hats

Just opened another box of scarves.  Many of these include what I had knitted in the last few months, so of which I knitted en route to Vegas.  The hats were generosity provided by a gal from one of my barter groups, Sue.  Thank you, Sue for all the great hats!

The hat goal is within reach, but unfortunately the scarf goals is far from being realized.  The move has hit SW hard, but I will keep knitting.  Will keep you posted:)

Housekeeping

Whew, I am still settling in my new digs. I can finally post that our move from DC to Vegas is complete. Yes, we finished our cross-country move. As I type this message, I am surrounded by boxes--Ah, moving.

I am still knitting. I inventoried all the scarf and hat boxes before I left. Now, I have to see what I have.

I will be revamping SnuggleWarmth soon!

SnuggleWarmth on Hold

Not that this will come as a surprise as there has been no new posts since April. In short, my family is moving cross-country. I will post a new update when we reach the other side, which should be late Sept. Right now, I am inventorying and packing everything.

2011 Goals

OK, I took some much needed time off, but now it is time to get back to work. I thought long and hard about what goals I would like to make for SnuggleWarmth this year. Some factors I needed to include in the planning before I decided the yearly goals.

I *may* be moving this year. Not sure if, when or where, but this may happen, which will definitely affect SW's goals. The smallest move will be probably at least 1,000 miles to more than 5,000. Yes, 5,000 miles.

My commitments: I work full time and I attend graduate school half-time. It goes without say, both take a lot of time.

My hands: some times the quota and my hands are not in agreement. Knit-stress hands.

Taking these major things into the decision making process, I have opened myself up to plush/fleece scarves in addition to hand-knitted ones. One, I can make the fleece scarves in a variety of colors, including more masculine colors. Two, they would allow me to help with the quota without additional stress to my hands. I can also--in the event of moving--be able to make these in bulk before such move yet keep myself in line for achieving my goals. Also, the point of SW is to provide items to the needy in order for them to keep warm. I see no harm in introducing some fleece scarves to the mix. They are all hand-crafted.

That being said, I would like to accomplish the following goals:
200 scarves
50 hats
??? blankets, possibly some mittens too. The scarves and hats I want to keep the hard goal for. These two goals I would like to meet and exceed.

Wish me luck!

Scarf on!

Time off

I am taking the first week off in January. I just went back to work and my grad class will start in a couple of days. Need time to adjust to the new schedule, as well as finalize my new goals for the new year.

Yes, I am continuing to knit. New goals will be posted soon, as well as long awaited pictures!

Knit on!
