Yesterday afternoon, we were madly finishing, projects around the table on the first of our Finishing Fridays in the 3 month series. Suddenly, a group of children from the Friendship House arrived on a scavenger hunt of the yarn shop. This winter, the children have been learning to knit. Their final project is a baby blanket for one of their wonderful teachers who just had a darling baby. Each of their blocks will be joined together for a hand made gift that we are sure this baby will enjoy.

Part of their afternoon fun was to find where the needles are located, the softest yarn in the store, the brightest yarn in the shop, and even to interview a knitter.

What a clever idea for the children to have to choose the brightest yarn!

Today, while the snow flies, yet again, I am going to choose the brightest skein of yarn that I can get my hands on, and begin my February project. If there are any of you needing a little pick-me-up during these long, snowy days, join the fun by choosing the brightest yarn you can find. Knit a February snow project. I may need to dig out my sunglasses with what I have in mind.
