A KNITTING PROJECT!
Here in Hong Kong Lane Crawford and a local charity partnered to make blankets for the local needy. The stores handed out bags with the needles and yarn (for free) and then the charity will distribute the finished blankets.
Each person was to knit a 8×8 square which we turn in back to the store. From there they are somehow being made into blankets. I started each square as most in my group were new to knitting.
I know not everyone got them done on time, but our little group project did turn out a number of squares. I finished three before the Christmas deadline…
