Knitting For ACS

 I have decided to do the Knit and Fundraise challenge held by the American Cancer Society. I've lost so many family members and friends to cancer. Especially in the last couple years. I fill the need to help them out. I will knit every day in November, then post progress photos and keep track of the time. 

It's being held on Facebook. I have a special Facebook page where people can donate. It's supposed to be public so if you go there and can't get on it, let me know in the comment section below. There's a donate button on the page, and all money goes directly to the American Cancer Society. I don't touch a penny of it.

The ACS holds top ratings from Charity Navigator, the Better Business Bureau, Wise Giving Alliance, and Candid. They are fighting for a world without cancer. So give with confidence!

If you're willing to support me and make a donation to ACS, just click on the picture below.


I thought I'd post the knitting updates here too. 

Speaking of knitting updates, how about the first one. I finished the socks. I just need to block them. I will post pics after I get that done. I finished them today, then I immediately cast on for the first of a pair of mittens. So far so good.



I have already made a modification though. I did a stockinette picot hem on the cuff. The pattern calls for 6 rows of garter stitch. Blech! Not fancy enough for me.

That's it for today. 

Live long and prosper. \\//
