After taking some time off for the holidays and the start of my new class, I start a new year at SnuggleWarmth.
First, I will start with the bad. The scarf total for the year (see below) was well below the goal desired. Moving from one coast to (practically) another, had disastrous effects on the distribution come holiday time, as I just settled into our new home a couple of months before December. Add to this that I am in the middle of completing my final terms of graduate study (hopefully ending in late July), keeping up with SnuggleWarmth has been challenging.
However, and this is the good part, I am still continuing the effort into 2012, my third year! With the aid of a wonderful person I was able to barter for some hats this season and without her help, I would not have made the hat quota. We did though, and I am thankful! Thank you, S., you know who you are! Also, SnuggleWarmth was able, for the first time, to distribute soap to those in need.
It is not all so bad after all.
My next post will have the goals for this year. Stay tuned!

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!
