Scarves for shelter give hope and warmth to many

Hi R
Loved the article about your project.  I thought I would post the details so others could read about this 'feel good in every way' project.   I almost wish it was cold enough here so I could wear one of them.   Clara

1. Scarves for Shelter

The piece shown here is one of many, all designed in my studio in limited editions or as one of a kind. They are part of nextdoor's community project, Scarves for Shelter. A portion of the proceeds go toward the production of the shelter scarves. This year we will be knitting 500 scarves for Hope Center in Waukesha. Thanks for your support and helping us stick to our knitting.

This year our goal is to deliver 500 scarves by the end of the year. For more ways to contribute, check out our Community Events page and follow us on facebook.

How to make a funky hat

R wrote in http://projectknitway.blogspot.com/ The cold weather continues and I have lots of requests for hats, so it's back hat you. I love making these hats. Each one turns out differently and enjoys a place in my studio for a day or two before heading to my store. Once again, I am using Lionbrand Homespun yarn, the same yarn that I knit the shelter scarves from. My plan is to make these hats as well as the scarves for area shelters. The hats are not only warm but fun and funky and lift your spirits when you wear one......Read more on how to make these  ►  Jan 09 (1)




Clara - These hat and scarf combinations look cosy and comforting.  One day they may become a 'collectors item'.

Baby, It's Cold Outside...Shrugs and scarves keep Wisconsin warm



Another Day Another Shrug...December 6th


Hi R
A winter wonderland - and how snug you all look.
Love the shrugs  - they must look great with skinny jeans.
My favourite is Princess Leah - so flattering.  Packer boys look  ready for the game.
  What a lucky husband you have!  You must keep him very warm and cosy.
