warm woolies...

I have found a knitting charity that I really like alot.
Warm Woolies.. or http://www.warmwoolies.org/
They send warm knitted and crocheted things to kids who really need them. They will even send you the yarn to make the stuff. I sent them a small baby blanket and they sent me a wonderful box of alpaca yarn and requested socks. This stuff is SOOO smooshy. I'm in love with this fiber.
I really do like the idea that I'm helping out some kids who really do have an actual need for this stuff I'm making. ANd I get to knit up some really beautiful, lucious feeling yarn in the process. What's better than that.

sock yarn leftovers.....

If there is anyone that knows me that I haven't already hit up for this one....I am looking for sock leftovers you don't mind parting with. Color doesn't really matter too much. I have some projects I'm wanting to do, little christmas-y and baby things, and a couple of other things, and I need little bits of sock yarn, even as small as 10-20 yards.
I'm also looking for bits of other kinds of yarn as well. I'm wanting to try a scrumbling project, and the more different colors and kinds of yarn you have for those, the better they look. So if you have the yarn bits, and the urge to mail some of them to me.... let me know.
I'm Nisha on Ravelry, and I have a post office box address I don't mind sharing with people I don't know. LOL
So drop me an email, or a PM on ravelry, and I'll be glad to take and use up those bits and bobs we all have but won't use, but hate to throw away....

Sock camp....

Until a few weeks ago, I never knew there was a sock camp. Well, now I do. And I've officially added it to the list of things I'll do if I ever have a bunch of money laying around that I don't need.
Two of my local friends went, and one of the things they have been working on is their toilet paper covers for the camp "homework". Well, one of them made the yarn harlot's blog. Her entry was Edgar Allan Poo and Annabelle Pee at the house of Flusher. If you look on the Harlots blog there is a photo. Annabelle Pee has died from smelling the Tell Tale Fart. This whole thing even made my husband laugh literally out loud. He enjoys a good pun, and this is a few of them all strung together.
But I can't wait to hear the stories from sock camp. With Cookie A, the Harlot, and Cat Bordhi there this year, I really can't wait to hear about the new stuff my yarn buds have learned, the stories they have to tell, and see the stuff they brought home. I know they have to be having a (yarn) ball of fun.
