Kiss My Knits!

The good: I just got Jayne hat order number 50!

The bad: I just sliced my finger on a hidden knife while doing dishes.

ARRRGGGGHHH!!!

So, I’m trying to choose which to sell for Katrina. Any opinions?

ETA: I decided to do all three. In for a penny, in for a pound, eh?

I’m changing the focus of the Donors Choose yarn contest, at least for a while. The kids in the Bronx will get by okay without learning how to knit, I believe Katrina is a bigger challenge.

I read a post from a former colleague of mine, , who is a teacher in Texas. She posts, “I almost bawled in class today. 2 young boys arrived into my classroom during 2 separate periods, dressed in the uniforms that they used to wear to their schools in New Orleans. You could almost feel the pent up fear and loss that they carried. They are too young to have to deal with these things.”

Donors Choose is putting all general funds toward Katrina proposals for the next week, and that strikes me as a good use of time and money. So donate, probably get some yarn, definitely help a kid.
