Knock out Hunger with Tons of Food

So CIT-Danville's food drive has begun.  And of course, I had to be all up in the middle of it!  Kickoff was fun and exciting and funny!  Here's to a busy two months ahead!

Julyarn 2

July has been a long rainy & hot month.  I've had enough. Here are projects that I made for extra points or for no points. Clockwise from top left:  sweet Lorraine was the third of three scarves/shawls for my HPKCHC OWL.  Very happy with it.  The next is a quick scarf made from fancy ribbon yarn,  manly gray granite stitch scarf, washcloths for Alisa's  daughter Holly in her new home.  A hat. The long strip of Tunisian crochet steeked into four rectangles. My Nerd Wars dissertation veered off track & I'm trying to get it back to a happy place.

Hurry up August!

Blueberry day

OWLs, Phoenix, & Dissertations

HPKCHC & Nerd Wars (Ravelry's competition groups) have big challenges that should take the crafter from two to three months.  I made these pages to celebrate my completed "Advanced Studies" and I want to share them here.  Yes, I am proud.  No doubt I would not have undertaken or completed these projects without the reward of imaginary points & glory.

Julyarn Stuff

My yarn post so far for July... These are my smaller projects.  The big stuff will get its own post!

Yarny goodness in June

I finished two BIG projects in June:  Pax (the long colorful shawlette) and Simple Scallops (the blue green shawl).  I am thrilled with both of them. The designer of Pax, Irish Aiobhe Ni, even complimented it.  SQUEEE!!  I also dyed some sunshiny summery yarn.

Since I was working on the two big projects, I made 6" squares for most of my other Ravelry challenges for Nerd Wars & HPKCHC.  After posting them, I sent nine squares to Afghans for Pine Ridge Reservation.  My big project for July is a motif scarf, Sweet Lorraine.  My crafting is making me very happy lately.

May Yarns

My May challenges for Ravelry are mostly done - just big projects still in progress.  Happy yarn fun!

Below there is a Tunisian crochet  cloth - my second bunny buddy - five squares 6" to be sent to Pine Ridge Reservation - some lovely yarn I dyed (it started blue & gray -- but ended purple & pink) -- the scarf I made tunisian crochet fir my mom on Mothers Day - an entrelac Tunisian sleeve for my Kindle - a paracord macramé bracelet -- AND a set of jeweled stitch markers.  Lovely lovelies!

Since May is the start of a new three-moth term for HPKCHC, so I've undertaken three shawl/scarves for my big OWL project.  The biggest is Pax, a Tunisian lace shawlette - a long curved scarf.  Ive worked sbout 1/3 of it so far.  Then a crochet shell stitch shawl, Simple Scallops.  That one is easy to do & has been my lunchtime project.  That is about 3/4 done.  Also the Sweet Lorraine which is a repeat lace motif scarf - not started yet.
